  2. Polynomial lemniscate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polynomial_lemniscate

    An interesting example of such polynomial lemniscates are the Mandelbrot curves. If we set p 0 = z, and p n = p n−1 2 + z, then the corresponding polynomial lemniscates M n defined by |p n (z)| = 2 converge to the boundary of the Mandelbrot set. [2] The Mandelbrot curves are of degree 2 n+1. [3]

  3. Graph of a function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graph_of_a_function

    Given a function: from a set X (the domain) to a set Y (the codomain), the graph of the function is the set [4] = {(, ()):}, which is a subset of the Cartesian product.In the definition of a function in terms of set theory, it is common to identify a function with its graph, although, formally, a function is formed by the triple consisting of its domain, its codomain and its graph.

  4. Generating function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generating_function

    In mathematics, a generating function is a representation of an infinite sequence of numbers as the coefficients of a formal power series.Generating functions are often expressed in closed form (rather than as a series), by some expression involving operations on the formal series.

  5. Generator (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    The generator of any continuous symmetry implied by Noether's theorem, the generators of a Lie group being a special case. In this case, a generator is sometimes called a charge or Noether charge, examples include: angular momentum as the generator of rotations, [3] linear momentum as the generator of translations, [3]

  6. Linear congruential generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_congruential_generator

    If a ≡ +3, X alternates ±1↔±3, while if a ≡ −3, X alternates ±1↔∓3 (all modulo 8). It can be shown that this form is equivalent to a generator with modulus m/4 and c ≠ 0. [1] A more serious issue with the use of a power-of-two modulus is that the low bits have a shorter period than the high bits.

  7. Matching polynomial - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matching_polynomial

    where H n (x) is the "probabilist's Hermite polynomial" (1) in the definition of Hermite polynomials. These facts were observed by Godsil (1981). If G is a forest, then its matching polynomial is equal to the characteristic polynomial of its adjacency matrix. If G is a path or a cycle, then M G (x) is a Chebyshev polynomial.

  8. System of linear equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_of_linear_equations

    The solution set for the equations xy = −1 and 3x + y = 9 is the single point (2, 3). A solution of a linear system is an assignment of values to the variables ,, …, such that each of the equations is satisfied. The set of all possible solutions is called the solution set. [5]

  9. Asymptote - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asymptote

    If x=a is a vertical asymptote of f(x), then x=a+h is a vertical asymptote of f(x-h) If y=c is a horizontal asymptote of f(x), then y=c+k is a horizontal asymptote of f(x)+k; If a known function has an asymptote, then the scaling of the function also have an asymptote. If y=ax+b is an asymptote of f(x), then y=cax+cb is an asymptote of cf(x)
