Two integral binary quadratic forms are properly equivalent when one is obtained from the other by a change of variables in . For a negative discriminant , the class number of binary quadratic forms is the number of proper equivalence classes of primitive positive-definite forms of discriminant .
If properly represents , then for coprime . Extend to a matrix in ; after the associated variable change, the coefficient of is , so the transformed form is
The converse follows by evaluating this form at .
Such a form has discriminant precisely when
so it exists exactly when . Thus is properly represented by some form of discriminant exactly when is a square modulo .
Now let . If is composite for , it has a prime divisor , and
Conversely, if is a square modulo for a prime , choose an odd square root with . Then and , so that value is composite.
Finally, reduction theory says that every nonprincipal positive-definite class of discriminant has a reduced representative whose leading coefficient has a prime divisor for which is a square modulo . Conversely such a prime produces a represented form not equivalent to the principal form . Combining this with the preceding equivalence gives
Without Alice's operation, Bob obtains outcome with probability
If Alice applies and then measures, but her outcome is not communicated, Bob's probability is
because . Equivalently, a trace-preserving local operation leaves Bob's reduced density matrix unchanged. This is the no-communication theorem: local operations cannot signal without communication of their outcomes.
Let be the center of mass and the uniform gravitational acceleration. The gravitational torque about is
Choose body-fixed principal axes of inertia. The inertial derivative of the angular momentum is
For torque-free motion and , giving the Euler equations for a torque-free rigid body
For a symmetric top, let and let be the axial moment. Then is constant and
Thus is constant and the transverse angular-velocity vector rotates uniformly about the body symmetry axis. Its rate is ; it precesses in the positive axial sense when and in the opposite sense when this product is negative.
Put and . Since
the transformed equation is
A generalized linear model assumes that the independent responses have distributions in an exponential family, with means , and that
The invertible function is the link function; it connects the mean to the linear predictor.
For binomial regression, write independently, so . The logistic regression link is
while probit regression uses
where is the standard-normal distribution function. The logit is the canonical link function for the binomial family.
For a deterministic finite automaton the extended transition function of a deterministic finite automaton is recursively
The accepted language is
For a nondeterministic finite automaton, is the set of all states reachable from while reading ; recursively,
Thus
The powerset construction has state set , initial state , transition
and accepting states . Induction on gives
so the two automata accept exactly the same language. If and has one state, exactly of the subset states contain it and are accepting, including states that may be unreachable.
