  2. Betti number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betti_number

    For a torus, the first Betti number is b 1 = 2 , which can be intuitively thought of as the number of circular "holes" Informally, the kth Betti number refers to the number of k-dimensional holes on a topological surface. A "k-dimensional hole" is a k-dimensional cycle that is not a boundary of a (k+1)-dimensional object.

  3. Rational function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rational_function

    Every Laurent polynomial can be written as a rational function while the converse is not necessarily true, i.e., the ring of Laurent polynomials is a subring of the rational functions. The rational function () = is equal to 1 for all x except 0, where there is a removable singularity. The sum, product, or quotient (excepting division by the ...

  4. Runge's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runge's_theorem

    Given a holomorphic function f on the blue compact set and a point in each of the holes, one can approximate f as well as desired by rational functions having poles only at those three points. In complex analysis , Runge's theorem (also known as Runge's approximation theorem ) is named after the German mathematician Carl Runge who first proved ...

  5. Polynomial and rational function modeling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polynomial_and_rational...

    Rational functions can be either finite or infinite for finite values, or finite or infinite for infinite x values. Thus, rational functions can easily be incorporated into a rational function model. Rational function models can often be used to model complicated structure with a fairly low degree in both the numerator and denominator.

  7. List of mathematical functions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mathematical_functions

    Dirichlet function: is an indicator function that matches 1 to rational numbers and 0 to irrationals. It is nowhere continuous. Thomae's function: is a function that is continuous at all irrational numbers and discontinuous at all rational numbers. It is also a modification of Dirichlet function and sometimes called Riemann function.

  8. Function (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    Rational functions are quotients of two polynomial functions, and their domain is the real numbers with a finite number of them removed to avoid division by zero. The simplest rational function is the function , whose graph is a hyperbola, and whose domain is the whole real line except for 0.

  9. Partial fraction decomposition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partial_fraction_decomposition

    In algebra, the partial fraction decomposition or partial fraction expansion of a rational fraction (that is, a fraction such that the numerator and the denominator are both polynomials) is an operation that consists of expressing the fraction as a sum of a polynomial (possibly zero) and one or several fractions with a simpler denominator.
