  2. Raising and lowering indices - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raising_and_lowering_indices

    It is common convention to use greek indices when writing expressions involving tensors in Minkowski space, while Latin indices are reserved for Euclidean space. Well-formulated expressions are constrained by the rules of Einstein summation : any index may appear at most twice and furthermore a raised index must contract with a lowered index.

  3. Frobenius method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frobenius_method

    Some solutions of a differential equation having a regular singular point with indicial roots = and .. In mathematics, the method of Frobenius, named after Ferdinand Georg Frobenius, is a way to find an infinite series solution for a linear second-order ordinary differential equation of the form ″ + ′ + = with ′ and ″.

  4. Index calculus algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Index_calculus_algorithm

    In computational number theory, the index calculus algorithm is a probabilistic algorithm for computing discrete logarithms.Dedicated to the discrete logarithm in (/) where is a prime, index calculus leads to a family of algorithms adapted to finite fields and to some families of elliptic curves.

    Edexcel and AQA both offer completely different courses, with Edexcel including the calculation of solids formed through integration, [5] and AQA not including integration. AQA's syllabus mainly offers further algebra, with the factor theorem and the more complex algebra such as algebraic fractions.

  6. Millennium Prize Problems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millennium_Prize_Problems

    The question is whether or not, for all problems for which an algorithm can verify a given solution quickly (that is, in polynomial time), an algorithm can also find that solution quickly. Since the former describes the class of problems termed NP, while the latter describes P, the question is equivalent to asking whether all problems in NP are ...

  7. Index set - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Index_set

    [1] [2] For instance, if the elements of a set A may be indexed or labeled by means of the elements of a set J, then J is an index set. The indexing consists of a surjective function from J onto A , and the indexed collection is typically called an indexed family , often written as { A j } j ∈ J .

    It either understates or overstates cost-of-living increases. This is the limitation of the CPI that is described as the index number problem. There is no theoretically ideal solution to this problem. In practice for retail price indices, the "basket of goods" is updated incrementally every few years to reflect changes.

  9. Atiyah–Singer index theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atiyah–Singer_index_theorem

    The index problem is the following: compute the (analytical) index of D using only the symbol s and topological data derived from the manifold and the vector bundle. The Atiyah–Singer index theorem solves this problem, and states: The analytical index of D is equal to its topological index.
