Symmetric Group

$\struct {S_n, \circ}$

Let $S_n$ denote the set of permutations on $n$ letters.

Let $\struct {S_n, \circ}$ denote the symmetric group on $S_n$.

Then $\struct {S_n, \circ}$ is referred to as the symmetric group on $n$ letters.

Signum Function

$\map \sgn x$

Let $X \subseteq \R$ be a subset of the real numbers.

The signum function $\sgn: X \to \set {-1, 0, 1}$ is defined as:

$\forall x \in X: \map \sgn x := \sqbrk {x > 0} - \sqbrk {x < 0}$

where $\sqbrk {x > 0}$ etc. denotes Iverson's convention.

That is:

$\forall x \in X: \map \sgn x := \begin{cases}

-1 & : x < 0 \\ 0 & : x = 0 \\ 1 & : x > 0 \end{cases}$

The $\LaTeX$ code for \(\map \sgn x\) is \map \sgn x .

Sine

$\sin$

The sine function.

Its $\LaTeX$ code is \sin .

Inverse Sine

$\sin^{-1}$

The inverse sine operation.

Its $\LaTeX$ code is \sin^{-1} .

Hyperbolic Sine

$\sinh$

The hyperbolic sine function.

Its $\LaTeX$ code is \sinh .

Hyperbolic Secant

$\sech$

Hyperbolic secant.

The $\LaTeX$ code for \(\sech\) is \sech .

Filtering Function

$\map {\operatorname {sinc} } x$

The filtering function is the real function $\operatorname {sinc}: \R \to \R$ defined as:

$\forall x \in \R: \map {\operatorname {sinc} } x := \dfrac {\sin \pi x} {\pi x}$

where $\sin$ denotes the (real) sine function.

The $\LaTeX$ code for \(\map {\operatorname {sinc} } x\) is \map {\operatorname {sinc} } x .
