Hypergeometric2F1Regularized (Built-in Mathematica Symbol)

Hypergeometric2F1Regularized[a, b, c, z] is the regularized hypergeometric function \[Null]_2 F_1 (a, b; c; z)/\[CapitalGamma](c).

The Secant Method (Mathematica Tutorial)

When derivatives cannot be computed symbolically, "Newton's" method will be used, but with a finite difference approximation to the Jacobian. This can have costs in terms of ...

Introduction to Local Minimization (Mathematica Tutorial)

The essence of most methods is in the local quadratic model that is used to determine the next step. The FindMinimum function in Mathematica has five essentially different ...

\[SquareSubset] (Mathematica Character Name)

Unicode: 228F. Infix set relation operator. x ⊏ y is by default interpreted as SquareSubset[x,y]. Used in computer science to indicate that x is a substring occurring at the ...

\[SquareSuperset] (Mathematica Character Name)

Unicode: 2290. Infix set relation operator. x ⊐ y is by default interpreted as SquareSuperset[x,y]. Used in computer science to indicate that x is a substring occurring at ...

DiracDelta (Built-in Mathematica Symbol)

DiracDelta[x] represents the Dirac delta function \[Delta](x). DiracDelta[x_1, x_2, ...] represents the multidimensional Dirac delta function \[Delta](x_1, x_2, ...).

SamenessRelation (Combinatorica Package Symbol)

SamenessRelation[l] constructs a binary relation from a list l of permutations, which is an equivalence relation if l is a permutation group.

SymmetricQ (Combinatorica Package Symbol)

SymmetricQ[r] tests if a given square matrix r represents a symmetric relation. SymmetricQ[g] tests if the edges of a given graph represent a symmetric relation.
