    For a formal statement of the theorem, let : be a continuous map from a compact triangulable space to itself. Define the Lefschetz number [2] of by := ((,)), the alternating (finite) sum of the matrix traces of the linear maps induced by on (,), the singular homology groups of with rational coefficients.

    An infinite series of any rational function of can be reduced to a finite series of polygamma functions, by use of partial fraction decomposition, [8] as explained here. This fact can also be applied to finite series of rational functions, allowing the result to be computed in constant time even when the series contains a large number of terms.

  6. IP set - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_set

    The set of all finite sums over D is often denoted as FS(D). Slightly more generally, for a sequence of natural numbers (n i), one can consider the set of finite sums FS((n i)), consisting of the sums of all finite length subsequences of (n i). A set A of natural numbers is an IP set if there exists an infinite set D such that FS(D) is a subset ...

    [proof 1] In particular, any finite-dimensional subspace of is complemented. [ 7 ] In arbitrary topological vector spaces, a finite-dimensional vector subspace Y {\displaystyle Y} is topologically complemented if and only if for every non-zero y ∈ Y {\displaystyle y\in Y} , there exists a continuous linear functional on X {\displaystyle X ...

  8. Fixed-point theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixed-point_theorem

    The Banach fixed-point theorem (1922) gives a general criterion guaranteeing that, if it is satisfied, the procedure of iterating a function yields a fixed point. [2]By contrast, the Brouwer fixed-point theorem (1911) is a non-constructive result: it says that any continuous function from the closed unit ball in n-dimensional Euclidean space to itself must have a fixed point, [3] but it doesn ...

  9. Geometric series - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometric_series

    The geometric series is an infinite series derived from a special type of sequence called a geometric progression.This means that it is the sum of infinitely many terms of geometric progression: starting from the initial term , and the next one being the initial term multiplied by a constant number known as the common ratio .
