WordDefinition
elliptic operatornoun(mathematical analysis) Any of a particular class of second-order linear differential operators.
periodic functionnoun(mathematics) Any function whose value repeats after the regular addition of a period to its independent variable; i.e., a function ƒ such that, for some positive constant p, ƒ(x + p) = ƒ(x) for all x.
regular functionnoun(mathematics) a meromorphic function
hypoellipticitynoun(mathematics) The condition of being hypoelliptic
entire functionnoun(mathematics) Any function of a complex variable that is holomorphic throughout the complex plane
periodicitynounThe quality of being periodic; tendency to recur at regular intervals.
elliptic curvenoun(algebraic geometry) The algebraic set of an equation which equates the square of one variable to a reduced cubic polynomial in another variable, over some field, and such that the discriminant of the reduced cubic is non-zero.
parabolic(chiefly mathematics) Of, or pertaining to, or in the shape of a parabola or paraboloid.
superellipsoidnoun(algebra, geometry) A closed surface, of which the sphere and ellipsoid are special cases, whose parametric equation is x = a.cos^(2/r)t, y = b.cos^(2/r)t, z = c.cos^(2/r)t.
complex functionnoun(mathematics) A function whose range is a subset of the set of complex numbers.
elliptopenoun(mathematics) The set of all real, square symmetric matrices whose diagonal entries are all equal to one and whose eigenvalues are all non-negative.
elliptizationnoun(mathematics) transformation into a spherical 3-manifold
involutory(mathematics) Of a mapping or transformation: being its own inverse; being an involution.
pseudoperiodnoun(mathematics) A solution function that is not technically periodic, but nevertheless displays repetitive behavior.
rational functionnoun(mathematics, complex analysis, algebraic geometry) Any function expressible as the quotient of two (coprime) polynomials (and which thus has poles at a finite, discrete set of points which are the roots of the denominator).
harmonic functionnoun(mathematics) A function of two, three or n variables which is a solution to any of Laplace's equations
antiperiodicitynoun(mathematics) A generalization of periodicity such that f(x + P) = −f(x) for all x in some function f.
hyperellipsenoun(geometry) A superellipse: a curve in two dimensions of a certain type, a generalization of the ellipse.
alternating functionnoun(mathematics) Any function in which the interchange of two independent variables changes the sign of the dependent variable.
hypoelliptic operatornoun(calculus) A differential operator that preserves mathematical smoothness.
