In mathematics, some functions or groups of functions are important enough to deserve their own names. This is a listing of articles which explain some of these functions in more detail. There is a large theory of special functions which developed out of statistics and mathematical physics.
Tessellations of euclidean and hyperbolic space may also be considered regular polytopes. Note that an 'n'-dimensional polytope actually tessellates a space of one dimension less. For example, the (three-dimensional) platonic solids tessellate the 'two'-dimensional 'surface' of the sphere.
The Mandelbrot set, one of the most famous examples of mathematical visualization. Mathematical phenomena can be understood and explored via visualization. Classically, this consisted of two-dimensional drawings or building three-dimensional models (particularly plaster models in the 19th and early 20th century).
Plot of the hypergeometric function 2F1(a,b; c; z) with a=2 and b=3 and c=4 in the complex plane from -2-2i to 2+2i with colors created with Mathematica 13.1 function ComplexPlot3D In mathematics , the Gaussian or ordinary hypergeometric function 2 F 1 ( a , b ; c ; z ) is a special function represented by the hypergeometric series , that ...
Example of a domain transformation from cartesian to polar. Example 2c. The domain is D = {x 2 + y 2 ≤ 4}, that is a circumference of radius 2; it's evident that the covered angle is the circle angle, so φ varies from 0 to 2 π, while the crown radius varies from 0 to 2 (the crown with the inside radius null is just a circle). Example 2d.
In mathematics, a chaotic map is a map (an evolution function) that exhibits some sort of chaotic behavior. Maps may be parameterized by a discrete-time or a continuous-time parameter. Discrete maps usually take the form of iterated functions. Chaotic maps often occur in the study of dynamical systems.
Unlike Kummer's function which is an entire function of z, U(z) usually has a singularity at zero. For example, if b = 0 and a ≠ 0 then Γ(a+1)U(a, b, z) − 1 is asymptotic to az ln z as z goes to zero. But see #Special cases for some examples where it is an entire function (polynomial).
Color representation of the trigamma function, ψ 1 (z), in a rectangular region of the complex plane.It is generated using the domain coloring method.. In mathematics, the trigamma function, denoted ψ 1 (z) or ψ (1) (z), is the second of the polygamma functions, and is defined by
