  2. Schur polynomial - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schur_polynomial

    This can be shown to be equivalent to the definition from the first Giambelli formula using the Lindström–Gessel–Viennot lemma (as outlined on that page). Schur polynomials can be expressed as linear combinations of monomial symmetric functions m μ with non-negative integer coefficients K λμ called Kostka numbers ,

  3. Woodbury matrix identity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woodbury_matrix_identity

    A common case is finding the inverse of a low-rank update A + UCV of A (where U only has a few columns and V only a few rows), or finding an approximation of the inverse of the matrix A + B where the matrix B can be approximated by a low-rank matrix UCV, for example using the singular value decomposition.

  4. Summation by parts - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Summation_by_parts

    It is used to prove Kronecker's lemma, which in turn, is used to prove a version of the strong law of large numbers under variance constraints. It may be used to prove Nicomachus's theorem that the sum of the first n {\displaystyle n} cubes equals the square of the sum of the first n {\displaystyle n} positive integers.

  5. Lemma (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemma_(mathematics)

    In mathematics and other fields, [a] a lemma (pl.: lemmas or lemmata) is a generally minor, proven proposition which is used to prove a larger statement. For that reason, it is also known as a "helping theorem " or an "auxiliary theorem".

  6. Wald's equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wald's_equation

    Under the above assumptions, Wald's equation can be used to calculate the expected total claim amount when information about the average claim number per year and the average claim size is available. Under stronger assumptions and with more information about the underlying distributions, Panjer's recursion can be used to calculate the ...

  7. Thue's lemma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thue's_lemma

    The original proof of Thue's lemma is not efficient, in the sense that it does not provide any fast method for computing the solution. The extended Euclidean algorithm, allows us to provide a proof that leads to an efficient algorithm that has the same computational complexity of the Euclidean algorithm.

  8. Burnside's lemma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burnside's_lemma

    Burnside's lemma can compute the number of rotationally distinct colourings of the faces of a cube using three colours.. Let X be the set of 3 6 possible face color combinations that can be applied to a fixed cube, and let the rotation group G of the cube act on X by moving the colored faces: two colorings in X belong to the same orbit precisely when one is a rotation of the other.

  9. Gauss's lemma (number theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauss's_lemma_(number_theory)

    Gauss's lemma in number theory gives a condition for an integer to be a quadratic residue. Although it is not useful computationally, it has theoretical significance, being involved in some proofs of quadratic reciprocity .
