  2. Ratio test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ratio_test

    In mathematics, the ratio test is a test (or "criterion") for the convergence of a series =, where each term is a real or complex number and a n is nonzero when n is large. The test was first published by Jean le Rond d'Alembert and is sometimes known as d'Alembert's ratio test or as the Cauchy ratio test.

    Convolution. Cauchy product –is the discrete convolution of two sequences; Farey sequence – the sequence of completely reduced fractions between 0 and 1; Oscillation – is the behaviour of a sequence of real numbers or a real-valued function, which does not converge, but also does not diverge to +∞ or −∞; and is also a quantitative measure for that.

    For example, let f(x) = 6x 4 − 2x 3 + 5, and suppose we wish to simplify this function, using O notation, to describe its growth rate as x approaches infinity. This function is the sum of three terms: 6x 4, −2x 3, and 5. Of these three terms, the one with the highest growth rate is the one with the largest exponent as a function of x ...

  5. Infinity - Wikipedia

    [1] [3] For example, if a line is viewed as the set of all of its points, their infinite number (i.e., the cardinality of the line) is larger than the number of integers. [4] In this usage, infinity is a mathematical concept, and infinite mathematical objects can be studied, manipulated, and used just like any other mathematical object.

  6. Final value theorem - Wikipedia

    All non-zero roots of the denominator of () must have negative real parts. H ( s ) {\displaystyle H(s)} must not have more than one pole at the origin. Rule 1 was not satisfied in this example, in that the roots of the denominator are 0 + j 3 {\displaystyle 0+j3} and 0 − j 3. {\displaystyle 0-j3.}

    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 ...

  8. Lp space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lp_space

    Techniques which use an L1 penalty, like LASSO, encourage sparse solutions (where the many parameters are zero). [14] Elastic net regularization uses a penalty term that is a combination of the norm and the squared norm of the parameter vector.

    For the folded general continued fractions of both expressions, the rate convergence μ = (3 − √ 8) 2 = 17 − √ 288 ≈ 0.02943725, hence ⁠ 1 / μ ⁠ = (3 + √ 8) 2 = 17 + √ 288 ≈ 33.97056, whose common logarithm is 1.531... ≈ ⁠ 26 / 17 ⁠ > ⁠ 3 / 2 ⁠, thus adding at least three digits per two terms. This is because the ...
