Discrepancy is concerned with coloring elements of a ground set such that each set in a certain set system is as balanced as possible, i.e., has approximately the same number of elements of each color. Th...

In mathematics, the Bell series is a formal power series used to study properties of arithmetical functions. Bell series were introduced and developed by Eric Temple Bell. Given an arithmetic function f {\displaystyle f} and a prime p {\displaystyle p} , define the formal power series f p ( x ) {\displaystyle f_{p}(x)}...

Two multiplicative functions can be shown to be identical if all of their Bell series are equal; this is sometimes called the uniqueness theorem: given multiplicative functions f {\displaystyle f} and g {\displaystyle g} , one has f = g {\displaystyle f=g} if and only if: f p ( x ) = g p ( x ) {\displaystyle f_{p}(x)=g...

In mathematics, the Bell triangle is a triangle of numbers analogous to Pascal's triangle, whose values count partitions of a set in which a given element is the largest singleton. It is named for its close connection to the Bell numbers, which may be found on both sides of the triangle, and which are in turn named aft...

In mathematics, the Beltrami equation, named after Eugenio Beltrami, is the partial differential equation ∂ w ∂ z ¯ = μ ∂ w ∂ z . {\displaystyle {\partial w \over \partial {\overline {z}}}=\mu {\partial w \over \partial z}.} for w a complex distribution of the complex variable z in some open set U, with derivatives tha...

Classically this differential equation was used by Gauss to prove the existence locally of isothermal coordinates on a surface with analytic Riemannian metric. Various techniques have been developed for solving the equation. The most powerful, developed in the 1950s, provides global solutions of the equation on C and r...

The same method applies equally well on the unit disk and upper half plane and plays a fundamental role in Teichmüller theory and the theory of quasiconformal mappings. Various uniformization theorems can be proved using the equation, including the measurable Riemann mapping theorem and the simultaneous uniformization ...

In mathematics, the Bendixson–Dulac theorem on dynamical systems states that if there exists a C 1 {\displaystyle C^{1}} function φ ( x , y ) {\displaystyle \varphi (x,y)} (called the Dulac function) such that the expression ∂ ( φ f ) ∂ x + ∂ ( φ g ) ∂ y {\displaystyle {\frac {\partial (\varphi f)}{\partial x}}+{\frac ...

In mathematics, the Benjamin–Ono equation is a nonlinear partial integro-differential equation that describes one-dimensional internal waves in deep water. It was introduced by Benjamin (1967) and Ono (1975). The Benjamin–Ono equation is u t + u u x + H u x x = 0 {\displaystyle u_{t}+uu_{x}+Hu_{xx}=0} where H is the Hi...

In mathematics, the Bergman–Weil formula is an integral representation for holomorphic functions of several variables generalizing the Cauchy integral formula. It was introduced by Bergmann (1936) and Weil (1935).

In mathematics, the Bernoulli numbers Bn are a sequence of rational numbers which occur frequently in analysis. The Bernoulli numbers appear in (and can be defined by) the Taylor series expansions of the tangent and hyperbolic tangent functions, in Faulhaber's formula for the sum of m-th powers of the first n positive ...

For every odd n > 1, Bn = 0. For every even n > 0, Bn is negative if n is divisible by 4 and positive otherwise.

The Bernoulli numbers are special values of the Bernoulli polynomials B n ( x ) {\displaystyle B_{n}(x)} , with B n − = B n ( 0 ) {\displaystyle B_{n}^{-{}}=B_{n}(0)} and B n + = B n ( 1 ) {\displaystyle B_{n}^{+}=B_{n}(1)} .The Bernoulli numbers were discovered around the same time by the Swiss mathematician Jacob Ber...
