  2. Omega constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omega_constant

    The omega constant is a mathematical constant defined as the unique real number that satisfies the equation = It is the value of W(1), where W is Lambert's W function. The name is derived from the alternate name for Lambert's W function, the omega function. The numerical value of Ω is given by

  3. Lambert W function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambert_W_function

    The product logarithm Lambert W function plotted in the complex plane from −2 − 2i to 2 + 2i The graph of y = W(x) for real x < 6 and y > −4.The upper branch (blue) with y ≥ −1 is the graph of the function W 0 (principal branch), the lower branch (magenta) with y ≤ −1 is the graph of the function W −1.

  4. List of mathematical constants - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mathematical_constants

    A mathematical constant is a key number whose value is fixed by an unambiguous definition, often referred to by a symbol (e.g., an alphabet letter), or by mathematicians' names to facilitate using it across multiple mathematical problems. [1]

  5. Hyperreal number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperreal_number

    The real numbers are considered as the constant sequences, the sequence is zero if it is identically zero, that is, a n = 0 for all n. In our ring of sequences one can get ab = 0 with neither a = 0 nor b = 0. Thus, if for two sequences , one has ab = 0, at least one of them should be declared zero. Surprisingly enough, there is a consistent way ...

    the arithmetic function counting a number's distinct prime factors [26] the symbol ϖ, a graphic variant of π, is sometimes construed as omega with a bar over it; see π; the unsaturated fats nomenclature in biochemistry (e.g. ω−3 fatty acids) the first uncountable ordinal (also written as Ω)

  7. Prime omega function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prime_omega_function

    In number theory, the prime omega functions and () count the number of prime factors of a natural number . Thereby (little omega) counts each distinct prime factor, whereas the related function () (big omega) counts the total number of prime factors of , honoring their multiplicity (see arithmetic function).

  8. Chaitin's constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaitin's_constant

    The function F is called universal if for every computable function f of a single variable there is a string w such that for all x, F(w x) = f(x); here w x represents the concatenation of the two strings w and x. This means that F can be used to simulate any computable function of one

  9. Aleph number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aleph_number

    The aleph numbers differ from the infinity commonly found in algebra and calculus, in that the alephs measure the sizes of sets, while infinity is commonly defined either as an extreme limit of the real number line (applied to a function or sequence that "diverges to infinity" or "increases without bound"), or as an extreme point of the ...
