Wikipedia:Cathleen Synge Morawetz#0 | Cathleen Synge Morawetz (May 5, 1923 – August 8, 2017) was a Canadian mathematician who spent much of her career in the United States. Morawetz's research was mainly in the study of the partial differential equations governing fluid flow, particularly those of mixed type occurring in transonic flow. She was professor e... |
Wikipedia:Cauchy formula for repeated integration#0 | The Cauchy formula for repeated integration, named after Augustin-Louis Cauchy, allows one to compress n antiderivatives of a function into a single integral (cf. Cauchy's formula). For non-integer n it yields the definition of fractional integrals and (with n < 0) fractional derivatives. == Scalar case == Let f be a c... |
Wikipedia:Cauchy index#0 | In mathematical analysis, the Cauchy index is an integer associated to a real rational function over an interval. By the Routh–Hurwitz theorem, we have the following interpretation: the Cauchy index of r(x) = p(x)/q(x) over the real line is the difference between the number of roots of f(z) located in the right half-pl... |
Wikipedia:Cauchy principal value#0 | In mathematics, the Cauchy principal value, named after Augustin-Louis Cauchy, is a method for assigning values to certain improper integrals which would otherwise be undefined. In this method, a singularity on an integral interval is avoided by limiting the integral interval to the non singular domain. == Formulation ... |
Wikipedia:Cauchy sequence#0 | In mathematics, a Cauchy sequence is a sequence whose elements become arbitrarily close to each other as the sequence progresses. More precisely, given any small positive distance, all excluding a finite number of elements of the sequence are less than that given distance from each other. Cauchy sequences are named aft... |
Wikipedia:Cauchy's functional equation#0 | Cauchy's functional equation is the functional equation: f ( x + y ) = f ( x ) + f ( y ) . {\displaystyle f(x+y)=f(x)+f(y).\ } A function f {\displaystyle f} that solves this equation is called an additive function. Over the rational numbers, it can be shown using elementary algebra that there is a single family of sol... |
Wikipedia:Cauchy–Euler operator#0 | In mathematics a Cauchy–Euler operator is a differential operator of the form p ( x ) ⋅ d d x {\displaystyle p(x)\cdot {d \over dx}} for a polynomial p. It is named after Augustin-Louis Cauchy and Leonhard Euler. The simplest example is that in which p(x) = x, which has eigenvalues n = 0, 1, 2, 3, ... and corresponding... |
Wikipedia:Cauchy–Kovalevskaya theorem#0 | In mathematics, the Cauchy–Kovalevskaya theorem (also written as the Cauchy–Kowalevski theorem) is the main local existence and uniqueness theorem for analytic partial differential equations associated with Cauchy initial value problems. A special case was proven by Augustin Cauchy (1842), and the full result by Sofya ... |
