  2. Word equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Word_equation

    A word equation is a formal equality:= = between a pair of words and , each over an alphabet comprising both constants (c.f. ) and unknowns (c.f. ). [1] An assignment of constant words to the unknowns of is said to solve if it maps both sides of to identical words.

    Semi-convergent series were studied by Poisson (1823), who also gave a general form for the remainder of the Maclaurin formula. The most important solution of the problem is due, however, to Jacobi (1834), who attacked the question of the remainder from a different standpoint and reached a different formula.

    In the first of these equations the ratio tends toward ⁠ A n / B n ⁠ as z tends toward zero. In the second, the ratio tends toward ⁠ A n / B n ⁠ as z tends to infinity. This leads us to our first geometric interpretation. If the continued fraction converges, the successive convergents ⁠ A n / B n ⁠ are eventually arbitrarily close ...

    For example, ln 7.5 is 2.0149..., because e 2.0149... = 7.5. The natural logarithm of e itself, ln e, is 1, because e 1 = e, while the natural logarithm of 1 is 0, since e 0 = 1. The natural logarithm can be defined for any positive real number a as the area under the curve y = 1/x from 1 to a [4] (with the area being negative when 0 < a < 1 ...

  7. Logarithmic decrement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logarithmic_decrement

    The logarithmic decrement can be obtained e.g. as ln(x 1 /x 3).Logarithmic decrement, , is used to find the damping ratio of an underdamped system in the time domain.. The method of logarithmic decrement becomes less and less precise as the damping ratio increases past about 0.5; it does not apply at all for a damping ratio greater than 1.0 because the system is overdamped.

    is a function space.Its elements are the essentially bounded measurable functions. [2]More precisely, is defined based on an underlying measure space, (,,). Start with the set of all measurable functions from to which are essentially bounded, that is, bounded except on a set of measure zero.

    Definition (3) presents a problem because there are non-equivalent paths along which one could integrate; but the equation of (3) should hold for any such path modulo . As for definition (5), the additive property together with the complex derivative f ′ ( 0 ) = 1 {\displaystyle f'(0)=1} are sufficient to guarantee f ( x ) = e x ...
