The function $latex f(x) = x \log x$ occurs in various places across math/statistics/machine learning (e.g. in the definition of entropy), and I thought I'd put a list of properties of the function here that I've found useful. Here is a plot of the function: $latex f$ is defined on $latex (0, \infty)$. The only... |

It's fairly well-known, to those who know it, that $latex \displaystyle \left(\sum_{k=1}^n k \right)^2 = \frac{n^2(n+1)^2}{4} = \sum_{k=1}^n k^3 $. In other words, the square of the sum of the first n positive integers equals the sum of the cubes of the first n positive integers. It's probably less well-known that a similar relationship holds... |

The logarithmic potential is a classical object of potential theory intimately connected with the two dimensional Laplacian. It appears also in free probability theory via the free entropy, and in partial differential equations e.g. Patlak-Keller-Segel models. This post concerns only it usage for the spectra of non Hermitian random matrices. Let \( {\mathcal{P}(\mathbb{C})} \) be the set of probability measures... |
