Joseph T
Joseph is a common male given name, derived from the Hebrew Yosef (יוֹסֵף). "Joseph" is used, along with "Josef", mostly in English, French and partially German languages. This spelling is also found as a variant in the languages of the modern-day Nordic countries. In Portuguese and Spanish, the name is "José". In Arabic, including in the Quran, the name is spelled '' Yūsuf''. In Persian, the name is "Yousef". The name has enjoyed significant popularity in its many forms in numerous countries, and ''Joseph'' was one of the two names, along with ''Robert'', to have remained in the top 10 boys' names list in the US from 1925 to 1972. It is especially common in contemporary Israel, as either "Yossi" or "Yossef", and in Italy, where the name "Giuseppe" was the most common male name in the 20th century. In the first century CE, Joseph was the second most popular male name for Palestine Jews. In the Book of Genesis Joseph is Jacob's eleventh son and Rachel's first son, and k ...

Dickman Function
In analytic number theory, the Dickman function or Dickman–de Bruijn function ''ρ'' is a special function used to estimate the proportion of smooth numbers up to a given bound. It was first studied by actuary Karl Dickman, who defined it in his only mathematical publication, which is not easily available, and later studied by the Dutch mathematician Nicolaas Govert de Bruijn. Definition The Dickman–de Bruijn function \rho(u) is a continuous function that satisfies the delay differential equation :u\rho'(u) + \rho(u-1) = 0\, with initial conditions \rho(u) = 1 for 0 ≤ ''u'' ≤ 1. Properties Dickman proved that, when a is fixed, we have :\Psi(x, x^)\sim x\rho(a)\, where \Psi(x,y) is the number of ''y''-smooth (or ''y''-friable) integers below ''x''. Ramaswami later gave a rigorous proof that for fixed ''a'', \Psi(x,x^) was asymptotic to x \rho(a), with the error bound :\Psi(x,x^)=x\rho(a)+O(x/\log x) in big O notation. Applications Th ...

Golomb–Dickman Constant
In mathematics, the Golomb–Dickman constant arises in the theory of random permutations and in number theory. Its value is :\lambda = 0.62432 99885 43550 87099 29363 83100 83724\dots It is not known whether this constant is rational or irrational. Definitions Let ''a''''n'' be the average — taken over all permutations of a set of size ''n'' — of the length of the longest cyclic permutation, cycle in each permutation. Then the Golomb–Dickman constant is : \lambda = \lim_ \frac. In the language of probability theory, \lambda n is asymptotically the expected value, expected length of the longest cycle in a discrete uniform distribution, uniformly distributed random permutation of a set of size ''n''. In number theory, the Golomb–Dickman constant appears in connection with the average size of the largest prime factor of an integer. More precisely, :\lambda = \lim_ \frac1n \sum_^n \frac, where P_1(k) is the largest prime factor of ''k'' . So if ''k'' is a ''d'' ...
