  2. Function (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    In this notation, x is the argument or variable of the function. A specific element x of X is a value of the variable, and the corresponding element of Y is the value of the function at x, or the image of x under the function. A function f, its domain X, and its codomain Y are often specified by the notation :.

    Floor function: if x is a real number, ⌊ ⌋ is the greatest integer that is not greater than x. ⌈ ⌉ Ceiling function: if x is a real number, ⌈ ⌉ is the lowest integer that is not lesser than x. ⌊ ⌉ Nearest integer function: if x is a real number, ⌊ ⌉ is the integer that is the closest to x.] ,

  5. Binomial coefficient - Wikipedia

    As there is zero X n+1 or X −1 in (1 + X) n, one might extend the definition beyond the above boundaries to include () = when either k > n or k < 0. This recursive formula then allows the construction of Pascal's triangle , surrounded by white spaces where the zeros, or the trivial coefficients, would be.

    A function f is even if and only if f(−x) = f(x) for all x; write A function f is even if f(−x) = f(x) for all x. If it is reasonable to do so, rephrase the sentence to avoid the use of the word "if" entirely. For example, An even function is a function f such that f(−x) = f(x) for all x

  7. Function composition - Wikipedia

    If an airplane's altitude at time t is a(t), and the air pressure at altitude x is p(x), then (p ∘ a)(t) is the pressure around the plane at time t. Function defined on finite sets which change the order of their elements such as permutations can be composed on the same set, this being composition of permutations.

    n = 1 that yield a minimax approximation or bound for the closely related Q-function: Q(x) ≈ Q̃(x), Q(x) ≤ Q̃(x), or Q(x) ≥ Q̃(x) for x ≥ 0. The coefficients {(a n,b n)} N n = 1 for many variations of the exponential approximations and bounds up to N = 25 have been released to open access as a comprehensive dataset. [16]

  9. Metric space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metric_space

    If M is complete, then this function space is complete as well; moreover, if X is also a topological space, then the subspace consisting of all bounded continuous functions from X to M is also complete. When X is a subspace of , this function space is known as a classical Wiener space. String metrics and edit distances.
