  2. Even and odd functions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Even_and_odd_functions

    If a real function has a domain that is self-symmetric with respect to the origin, it may be uniquely decomposed as the sum of an even and an odd function, which are called respectively the even part (or the even component) and the odd part (or the odd component) of the function, and are defined by = + (), and = ().

  3. Parity (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    Even and odd numbers have opposite parities, e.g., 22 (even number) and 13 (odd number) have opposite parities. In particular, the parity of zero is even. [2] Any two consecutive integers have opposite parity. A number (i.e., integer) expressed in the decimal numeral system is even or odd according to whether its last digit is even or odd. That ...

  4. Parity of a permutation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parity_of_a_permutation

    The permutation is odd if and only if this factorization contains an odd number of even-length cycles. Another method for determining whether a given permutation is even or odd is to construct the corresponding permutation matrix and compute its determinant. The value of the determinant is the same as the parity of the permutation. Every ...

  5. Collatz conjecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collatz_conjecture

    The number is taken to be 'odd' or 'even' according to whether its numerator is odd or even. Then the formula for the map is exactly the same as when the domain is the integers: an 'even' such rational is divided by 2; an 'odd' such rational is multiplied by 3 and then 1 is added.

    Alternatively, over any field of characteristic 2, all functions are both even and odd; many of them are also invertible. -- Meni Rosenfeld ( talk ) 18:14, 11 December 2014 (UTC) [ reply ] Usually, even/odd functions are functions of a real variable, which I take to mean that their domains are all of R (or at the very least symmetric domains ...

  7. Half range Fourier series - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Half_range_Fourier_series

    This allows the expansion of the function in a series solely of sines (odd) or cosines (even). The choice between odd and even is typically motivated by boundary conditions associated with a differential equation satisfied by (). Example. Calculate the half range Fourier sine series for the function () = ⁡ where < <.

  8. Even–odd rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evenodd_rule

    The SVG defines the even–odd rule by saying: This rule determines the "insideness" of a point on the canvas by drawing a ray from that point to infinity in any direction and counting the number of path segments from the given shape that the ray crosses. If this number is odd, the point is inside; if even, the point is outside.

  9. Parity (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parity_(physics)

    The way into which particular variables and vectors sort out into either category depends on whether the number of dimensions of space is either an odd or even number. The categories of odd or even given below for the parity transformation is a different, but intimately related issue. The answers given below are correct for 3 spatial dimensions.
