unusual facts about Rosser's equation


Rosser's equation

In economics, Rosser's equation (named after J. Barkley Rosser, Jr.) calculates future US Social Security Administration Trust Fund balances and payments as the ratio of benefit payments in real terms for a given income level to be received the year after the Trust Fund would be exhausted, to those of the same income level for an initial year.


Abel's identity

It is especially useful for equations such as Bessel's equation where the solutions do not have a simple analytical form, because in such cases the Wronskian is difficult to compute directly.

Bloch wave

Other much studied periodic one-dimensional equations are the Kronig–Penney model and Mathieu's equation.

Centreport

CentrePort Canada, an inland port in Winnipeg and Rosser, Manitoba, Canada.

Dante's Equation

Calder Farris-- Lieutenant in the United States Army and agent for the United States Department of Defense, a violently patriotic sociopath investigating new weapons technology from non-mainstream scientific sources.

Becomes semi-divine Lord of the sentient but violent and cannibalistic denizens of the adjacent-universe, heavy-gravity planet called Fiori.

Ettore Majorana

Solution of Majorana's equation yields particles that are their own anti-particle, now referred to as Majorana Fermions.

Gold Coast Regional Botanic Gardens

The Gold Coast Regional Botanic Gardens, formerly known as the Rosser Park Regional Botanic Gardens, and before that simply Rosser Park, are located on Ashmore Road, Benowa, Gold Coast, Australia.

Huber's equation

Very useful in calculating the span width of the bridges like Golden Gate Bridge or Verrazano-Narrows Bridge, their beam cross-sections, etc.

Jane Jensen

Jane Jensen (b. January 28, 1963 in Palmerton, Pennsylvania) is the game designer of the popular and critically acclaimed Gabriel Knight adventure games and author of the novels Judgment Day and Dante's Equation.

Karl Heun

Karl Heun (born 3 April 1859, Wiesbaden; died 10 January 1929, Karlsruhe) was a German mathematician who introduced Heun's equation, Heun functions, and Heun's method.

Lagrange reversion theorem

Lagrange's reversion theorem is used to obtain numerical solutions to Kepler's equation.

Lucjan Böttcher

His name is attached to Böttcher theorem, in which he introduced Böttcher's equation and solved it under certain assumptions.

Mauro Gallegati

Interview to Mauro Gallegati and Laura Gardini (Harrisonburg, Virginia, May 18, 2008), in: John Barkley Rosser, Richard P. F. Holt, David C. Colander (a cura di), European Economics at a Crossroads, Edward Elgar Publishing, 2010 ISBN 978-1-84980-581-9 (pp. 94–105)

Methods of computing square roots

Pell's equation (also known as Brahmagupta equation since he was the first to give a solution to this particular equation) and its variants yield a method for efficiently finding continued fraction convergents of square roots of integers.

Period of financial distress

The first to develop a mathematical model of this period of financial distress was J. Barkley Rosser, Jr. (Chapter 5, 1991), drawing on catastrophe theory, while a more detailed such model using agent-based modeling and relying on the wealth constraint idea due to Minsky has been done by Gallegati, Palestrini, and Rosser (2011.)

Poisson's equation

The Poisson–Boltzmann equation plays a role in the development of the Debye–Hückel theory of dilute electrolyte solutions.

Schröder's equation

The series expansion around a fixed point and the relevant convergence properties of the solution for the resulting orbit and its analyticity properties are cogently summarized by Szekeres.

Seven Years Past

Seven Years Past is a hard rock band out of Sarasota, Florida consisting of Lisa Larkin (Vocals/Guitar), Mark Medeiros (Guitar/Vocals), Stephan Rosser (Bass/Keys) and Brett Jones (Guitars/Vocals) and Allen Pryor (Drums/percussion/vocals).

Skyla

She has been working alongside producers Scott Rosser (from Cahill), Mike Di Scala (Ultrabeat) and Nemesis.

The Banksias

Largely on the basis of her work for The Banksias, Rosser was awarded a Medal of the Order of Australia 1995 for her contribution to botanical art, and the Jill Smythies Award for botanical art in 1997.
