  2. Proof that π is irrational - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proof_that_π_is_irrational

    This last integral is , since (+) is the null function (because is a polynomial function of degree ). Since each function f ( k ) {\displaystyle f^{(k)}} (with 0 ≤ k ≤ 2 n {\displaystyle 0\leq k\leq 2n} ) takes integer values at 0 {\displaystyle 0} and π {\displaystyle \pi } and since the same thing happens with the sine and the cosine ...

  3. Minkowski's question-mark function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minkowski's_question-mark...

    In mathematics, Minkowski's question-mark function, denoted ?(x), is a function with unusual fractal properties, defined by Hermann Minkowski in 1904. [1] It maps quadratic irrational numbers to rational numbers on the unit interval , via an expression relating the continued fraction expansions of the quadratics to the binary expansions of the ...

  4. Propositional formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propositional_formula

    The simplest case occurs when an OR formula becomes one its own inputs e.g. p = q. Begin with (p ∨ s) = q, then let p = q. Observe that q's "definition" depends on itself "q" as well as on "s" and the OR connective; this definition of q is thus impredicative. Either of two conditions can result: [25] oscillation or memory.

    Some of these connectives may be defined in terms of others: for instance, implication, pq, may be defined in terms of disjunction and negation, as ¬pq; [74] and disjunction may be defined in terms of negation and conjunction, as ¬(¬p ∧ ¬q). [51]

  6. Limit of a function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limit_of_a_function

    For such a double limit to exist, this definition requires the value of f approaches L along every possible path approaching (p, q), excluding the two lines x = p and y = q. As a result, the multiple limit is a weaker notion than the ordinary limit: if the ordinary limit exists and equals L, then the multiple limit exists and also equals L. The ...

  7. Young's convolution inequality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Young's_convolution_inequality

    Young's inequality has an elementary proof with the non-optimal constant 1. [4]We assume that the functions ,,: are nonnegative and integrable, where is a unimodular group endowed with a bi-invariant Haar measure .

  8. Function (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    A function :, with domain X and codomain Y, is bijective, if for every y in Y, there is one and only one element x in X such that y = f(x). In this case, the inverse function of f is the function f − 1 : YX {\displaystyle f^{-1}:Y\to X} that maps yY {\displaystyle y\in Y} to the element xX {\displaystyle x\in X} such that y = f ...

    For example, the sine of angle θ is defined as being the length of the opposite side divided by the length of the hypotenuse. The six trigonometric functions are defined for every real number, except, for some of them, for angles that differ from 0 by a multiple of the right angle (90°). Referring to the diagram at the right, the six ...
