Dawson's Function
In mathematics, the Dawson function or Dawson integral (named after H. G. Dawson) is the one-sided Fourier–Laplace sine transform of the Gaussian function. Definition The Dawson function is defined as either: D_+(x) = e^ \int_0^x e^\,dt, also denoted as F(x) or D(x), or alternatively D_-(x) = e^ \int_0^x e^\,dt.\! The Dawson function is the one-sided Fourier–Laplace sine transform of the Gaussian function, >D_+(x) = \frac12 \int_0^\infty e^\,\sin(xt)\,dt. It is closely related to the error function erf, as : D_+(x) = e^ \operatorname (x) = - e^ \operatorname (ix) where erfi is the imaginary error function, Similarly, D_-(x) = \frac e^ \operatorname(x) in terms of the real error function, erf. In terms of either erfi or the Faddeeva function w(z), the Dawson function can be extended to the entire complex plane:Mofreh R. Zaghloul and Ahmed N.

Mathematics
Mathematics is an area of knowledge that includes the topics of numbers, formulas and related structures, shapes and the spaces in which they are contained, and quantities and their changes. These topics are represented in modern mathematics with the major subdisciplines of number theory, algebra, geometry, and analysis, respectively. There is no general consensus among mathematicians about a common definition for their academic discipline. Most mathematical activity involves the discovery of properties of abstract objects and the use of pure reason to prove them. These objects consist of either abstractions from nature orin modern mathematicsentities that are stipulated to have certain properties, called axioms. A ''proof'' consists of a succession of applications of deductive rules to already established results. These results include previously proved theorems, axioms, andin case of abstraction from naturesome basic properties that are considered true starting points of ...

Sine Transform
In mathematics, the Fourier sine and cosine transforms are forms of the Fourier transform that do not use complex numbers or require negative frequency. They are the forms originally used by Joseph Fourier and are still preferred in some applications, such as signal processing or statistics. Definition The Fourier sine transform of , sometimes denoted by either ^s or _s (f) , is ^s(\xi) = \int_^\infty f(t)\sin(2\pi \xi t) \,dt. If means time, then is frequency in cycles per unit time, but in the abstract, they can be any pair of variables which are dual to each other. This transform is necessarily an odd function of frequency, i.e. for all : ^s(-\xi) = - ^s(\xi). The numerical factors in the Fourier transforms are defined uniquely only by their product. Here, in order that the Fourier inversion formula not have any numerical factor, the factor of 2 appears because the sine function has norm of \tfrac. The Fourier cosine transform of , sometimes denoted by either ^c o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Gaussian Function
In mathematics, a Gaussian function, often simply referred to as a Gaussian, is a function of the base form f(x) = \exp (-x^2) and with parametric extension f(x) = a \exp\left( -\frac \right) for arbitrary real constants , and non-zero . It is named after the mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss. The graph of a Gaussian is a characteristic symmetric " bell curve" shape. The parameter is the height of the curve's peak, is the position of the center of the peak, and (the standard deviation, sometimes called the Gaussian RMS width) controls the width of the "bell". Gaussian functions are often used to represent the probability density function of a normally distributed random variable with expected value and variance . In this case, the Gaussian is of the form g(x) = \frac \exp\left( -\frac \frac \right). Gaussian functions are widely used in statistics to describe the normal distributions, in signal processing to define Gaussian filters, in image processing where two-dimensio ...

Error Function
In mathematics, the error function (also called the Gauss error function), often denoted by , is a complex function of a complex variable defined as: :\operatorname z = \frac\int_0^z e^\,\mathrm dt. This integral is a special (non-elementary) sigmoid function that occurs often in probability, statistics, and partial differential equations. In many of these applications, the function argument is a real number. If the function argument is real, then the function value is also real. In statistics, for non-negative values of , the error function has the following interpretation: for a random variable that is normally distributed with mean 0 and standard deviation , is the probability that falls in the range . Two closely related functions are the complementary error function () defined as :\operatorname z = 1 - \operatorname z, and the imaginary error function () defined as :\operatorname z = -i\operatorname iz, where is the imaginary unit Name The name "error function ...

Faddeeva Function
The Faddeeva function or Kramp function is a scaled complex complementary error function, :w(z):=e^\operatorname(-iz) = \operatorname(-iz) =e^\left(1+\frac\int_0^z e^\textt\right). It is related to the Fresnel integral, to Dawson's integral, and to the Voigt function. The function arises in various physical problems, typically relating to electromagnetic responses in complicated media. * problems involving small-amplitude waves propagating through Maxwellian plasmas, and in particular appears in the plasma's permittivity from which dispersion relations are derived, hence it is sometimes referred to as the plasma dispersion function (although this name is sometimes used instead for the rescaled function defined by ''Fried and Conte'', 1961). * the infrared permittivity functions of amorphous oxides have resonances (due to phonons) that are sometimes too complicated to fit using simple harmonic oscillators.

Complex Plane
In mathematics, the complex plane is the plane formed by the complex numbers, with a Cartesian coordinate system such that the -axis, called the real axis, is formed by the real numbers, and the -axis, called the imaginary axis, is formed by the imaginary numbers. The complex plane allows a geometric interpretation of complex numbers. Under addition, they add like vectors. The multiplication of two complex numbers can be expressed more easily in polar coordinates—the magnitude or ''modulus'' of the product is the product of the two absolute values, or moduli, and the angle or ''argument'' of the product is the sum of the two angles, or arguments. In particular, multiplication by a complex number of modulus 1 acts as a rotation. The complex plane is sometimes known as the Argand plane or Gauss plane. Notational conventions Complex numbers In complex analysis, the complex numbers are customarily represented by the symbol ''z'', which can be separated into its real (''x'') and ...

Double Factorial
In mathematics, the double factorial or semifactorial of a number , denoted by , is the product of all the integers from 1 up to that have the same parity (odd or even) as . That is, :n!! = \prod_^ (n-2k) = n (n-2) (n-4) \cdots. For even , the double factorial is :n!! = \prod_^\frac (2k) = n(n-2)(n-4)\cdots 4\cdot 2 \,, and for odd it is :n!! = \prod_^\frac (2k-1) = n(n-2)(n-4)\cdots 3\cdot 1 \,. For example, . The zero double factorial as an empty product. The sequence of double factorials for even = starts as : 1, 2, 8, 48, 384, 3840, 46080, 645120,... The sequence of double factorials for odd = starts as : 1, 3, 15, 105, 945, 10395, 135135,... The term odd factorial is sometimes used for the double factorial of an odd number. History and usage In a 1902 paper, the physicist Arthur Schuster wrote: states that the double factorial was originally introduced in order to simplify the expression of certain trigonometric integrals that arise in the derivation of th ...

Hilbert Transform
In mathematics and in signal processing, the Hilbert transform is a specific linear operator that takes a function, of a real variable and produces another function of a real variable . This linear operator is given by convolution with the function 1/(\pi t) (see ). The Hilbert transform has a particularly simple representation in the frequency domain: It imparts a phase shift of ±90° ( radians) to every frequency component of a function, the sign of the shift depending on the sign of the frequency (see ). The Hilbert transform is important in signal processing, where it is a component of the analytic representation of a real-valued signal . The Hilbert transform was first introduced by David Hilbert in this setting, to solve a special case of the Riemann–Hilbert problem for analytic functions. Definition The Hilbert transform of can be thought of as the convolution of with the function , known as the Cauchy kernel. Because is not integrable across , the integ ...

Cauchy Principal Value
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. Formulation Depending on the type of singularity in the integrand , the Cauchy principal value is defined according to the following rules: In some cases it is necessary to deal simultaneously with singularities both at a finite number and at infinity. This is usually done by a limit of the form \lim_\, \lim_ \,\left ,\int_^ f(x)\,\mathrmx \,~ + ~ \int_^ f(x)\,\mathrmx \,\right In those cases where the integral may be split into two independent, finite limits, \lim_ \, \left, \,\int_a^ f(x)\,\mathrmx \,\\; < \;\infty and then the function is integrable in the ordinary sense. The result of the procedure for principal value is the same as the ordinary integral; since it no longer matches the definition, i ...
