Silverman–Toeplitz Theorem
In mathematics, the Silverman–Toeplitz theorem, first proved by Otto Toeplitz, is a result in series summability theory characterizing matrix summability methods that are regular. A regular matrix summability method is a linear sequence transformation that preserves the limits of convergent sequences. The linear sequence transformation can be applied to the divergent sequences of partial sums of divergent series to give those series generalized sums. An infinite matrix (a_)_ with complex-valued entries defines a regular matrix summability method if and only if it satisfies all of the following properties: : \begin & \lim_ a_ = 0 \quad j \in \mathbb & & \text \\ pt& \lim_ \sum_^ a_ = 1 & & \text \\ pt& \sup_i \sum_^ \vert a_ \vert m\end = \begin 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & \cdots \\ \frac & \frac & 0 & 0 & 0 & \cdots \\ \frac & \frac & \frac & 0 & 0 & \cdots \\ \frac & \frac & \frac & \frac & 0 & \cdots \\ \frac & \frac & \frac & \frac & \frac & \cdots \\ \vdots & \vdots & \vdots & \vdo ...

Mathematics
Mathematics is a field of study that discovers and organizes methods, Mathematical theory, theories and theorems that are developed and Mathematical proof, proved for the needs of empirical sciences and mathematics itself. There are many areas of mathematics, which include number theory (the study of numbers), algebra (the study of formulas and related structures), geometry (the study of shapes and spaces that contain them), Mathematical analysis, analysis (the study of continuous changes), and set theory (presently used as a foundation for all mathematics). Mathematics involves the description and manipulation of mathematical object, abstract objects that consist of either abstraction (mathematics), abstractions from nature orin modern mathematicspurely abstract entities that are stipulated to have certain properties, called axioms. Mathematics uses pure reason to proof (mathematics), prove properties of objects, a ''proof'' consisting of a succession of applications of in ...

Otto Toeplitz
Otto Toeplitz (1 August 1881 – 15 February 1940) was a German mathematician working in functional analysis., reprinted in Life and work Toeplitz was born to a Jewish family of mathematicians. Both his father and grandfather were ''Gymnasium'' mathematics teachers and published papers in mathematics. Toeplitz grew up in Breslau and graduated from the ''Gymnasium'' there. He then studied mathematics at the University of Breslau and was awarded a doctorate in algebraic geometry in 1905. In 1906 Toeplitz arrived at Göttingen University, which was then the world's leading mathematical center, and he remained there for seven years. The mathematics faculty included David Hilbert, Felix Klein, and Hermann Minkowski. Toeplitz joined a group of young people working with Hilbert: Max Born, Richard Courant and Ernst Hellinger, with whom he collaborated for many years afterward. At that time Toeplitz began to rework the theory of linear functionals and quadratic forms on ''n''-dimensi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Series (mathematics)
In mathematics, a series is, roughly speaking, an addition of Infinity, infinitely many Addition#Terms, terms, one after the other. The study of series is a major part of calculus and its generalization, mathematical analysis. Series are used in most areas of mathematics, even for studying finite structures in combinatorics through generating functions. The mathematical properties of infinite series make them widely applicable in other quantitative disciplines such as physics, computer science, statistics and finance. Among the Ancient Greece, Ancient Greeks, the idea that a potential infinity, potentially infinite summation could produce a finite result was considered paradoxical, most famously in Zeno's paradoxes. Nonetheless, infinite series were applied practically by Ancient Greek mathematicians including Archimedes, for instance in the Quadrature of the Parabola, quadrature of the parabola. The mathematical side of Zeno's paradoxes was resolved using the concept of a limit ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Summability Theory
In mathematics, a divergent series is an infinite series that is not convergent, meaning that the infinite sequence of the partial sums of the series does not have a finite limit. If a series converges, the individual terms of the series must approach zero. Thus any series in which the individual terms do not approach zero diverges. However, convergence is a stronger condition: not all series whose terms approach zero converge. A counterexample is the harmonic series :1 + \frac + \frac + \frac + \frac + \cdots =\sum_^\infty\frac. The divergence of the harmonic series was proven by the medieval mathematician Nicole Oresme. In specialized mathematical contexts, values can be objectively assigned to certain series whose sequences of partial sums diverge, in order to make meaning of the divergence of the series. A ''summability method'' or ''summation method'' is a partial function from the set of series to values. For example, Cesàro summation assigns Grandi's divergent s ...

Matrix (mathematics)
In mathematics, a matrix (: matrices) is a rectangle, rectangular array or table of numbers, symbol (formal), symbols, or expression (mathematics), expressions, with elements or entries arranged in rows and columns, which is used to represent a mathematical object or property of such an object. For example, \begin1 & 9 & -13 \\20 & 5 & -6 \end is a matrix with two rows and three columns. This is often referred to as a "two-by-three matrix", a " matrix", or a matrix of dimension . Matrices are commonly used in linear algebra, where they represent linear maps. In geometry, matrices are widely used for specifying and representing geometric transformations (for example rotation (mathematics), rotations) and coordinate changes. In numerical analysis, many computational problems are solved by reducing them to a matrix computation, and this often involves computing with matrices of huge dimensions. Matrices are used in most areas of mathematics and scientific fields, either directly ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Sequence Transformation
In mathematics, a sequence transformation is an Operator (mathematics), operator acting on a given space of sequences (a sequence space). Sequence transformations include linear mappings such as convolution, discrete convolution with another sequence and resummation of a sequence and nonlinear mappings, more generally. They are commonly used for series acceleration, that is, for improving the rate of convergence of a slowly convergent sequence or series (mathematics), series. Sequence transformations are also commonly used to compute the antilimit of a divergent series numerically, and are used in conjunction with extrapolation methods. Classical examples for sequence transformations include the binomial transform, Möbius transform, and Stirling transform. Definitions For a given sequence :(s_n)_,\, and a sequence transformation \mathbf, the sequence resulting from transformation by \mathbf is :\mathbf( ( s_n ) ) = ( s'_n )_, where the elements of the transformed sequence a ...

Limit Of A Sequence
As the positive integer n becomes larger and larger, the value n\times \sin\left(\tfrac1\right) becomes arbitrarily close to 1. We say that "the limit of the sequence n \times \sin\left(\tfrac1\right) equals 1." In mathematics, the limit of a sequence is the value that the terms of a sequence "tend to", and is often denoted using the \lim symbol (e.g., \lim_a_n).Courant (1961), p. 29. If such a limit exists and is finite, the sequence is called convergent. A sequence that does not converge is said to be divergent. The limit of a sequence is said to be the fundamental notion on which the whole of mathematical analysis ultimately rests. Limits can be defined in any metric space, metric or topological space, but are usually first encountered in the real numbers. History The Greek philosopher Zeno of Elea is famous for formulating Zeno's paradoxes, paradoxes that involve limiting processes.

Complex Number
In mathematics, a complex number is an element of a number system that extends the real numbers with a specific element denoted , called the imaginary unit and satisfying the equation i^= -1; every complex number can be expressed in the form a + bi, where and are real numbers. Because no real number satisfies the above equation, was called an imaginary number by René Descartes. For the complex number is called the , and is called the . The set of complex numbers is denoted by either of the symbols \mathbb C or . Despite the historical nomenclature, "imaginary" complex numbers have a mathematical existence as firm as that of the real numbers, and they are fundamental tools in the scientific description of the natural world. Complex numbers allow solutions to all polynomial equations, even those that have no solutions in real numbers. More precisely, the fundamental theorem of algebra asserts that every non-constant polynomial equation with real or complex coefficie ...

If And Only If
In logic and related fields such as mathematics and philosophy, "if and only if" (often shortened as "iff") is paraphrased by the biconditional, a logical connective between statements. The biconditional is true in two cases, where either both statements are true or both are false. The connective is biconditional (a statement of material equivalence), and can be likened to the standard material conditional ("only if", equal to "if ... then") combined with its reverse ("if"); hence the name. The result is that the truth of either one of the connected statements requires the truth of the other (i.e. either both statements are true, or both are false), though it is controversial whether the connective thus defined is properly rendered by the English "if and only if"—with its pre-existing meaning. For example, ''P if and only if Q'' means that ''P'' is true whenever ''Q'' is true, and the only case in which ''P'' is true is if ''Q'' is also true, whereas in the case of ''P if Q ...

Cesàro Summation
In mathematical analysis, Cesàro summation (also known as the Cesàro mean or Cesàro limit) assigns values to some Series (mathematics), infinite sums that are Divergent series, not necessarily convergent in the usual sense. The Cesàro sum is defined as the limit, as ''n'' tends to infinity, of the sequence of arithmetic means of the first ''n'' partial sums of the series. This special case of a matrix summability method is named for the Italian analyst Ernesto Cesàro (1859–1906). The term ''summation'' can be misleading, as some statements and proofs regarding Cesàro summation can be said to implicate the Eilenberg–Mazur swindle. For example, it is commonly applied to Grandi's series with the conclusion that the ''sum'' of that series is 1/2. Definition Let (a_n)_^\infty be a sequence, and let :s_k = a_1 + \cdots + a_k= \sum_^k a_n be its th partial sum. The sequence is called Cesàro summable, with Cesàro sum , if, as tends to infinity, the arithmetic mean ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
