He sent his thesis copy to Albert Einstein , and Einstein wrote back, saying: "I studied your paper as far as my present overload allowed.

The Treaty of Karlowitz forced them to surrender the region of Hungary under Ottoman control and portions of present-day Croatia , Romania , Slovakia , and Serbia to the Habsburg Empire , which pushed the Great Migrations of

320-406: A → 0 , the number of oscillations per unit length of the sinc function approaches infinity. Nevertheless, the expression always oscillates inside an envelope of ± ⁠ 1 / π x ⁠ , regardless of the value of a . This complicates the informal picture of δ ( x ) as being zero for all x except at the point x = 0 , and illustrates the problem of thinking of the delta function as

384-449: A continuous bandlimited signal from uniformly spaced samples of that signal. The only difference between the two definitions is in the scaling of the independent variable (the x axis ) by a factor of π . In both cases, the value of the function at the removable singularity at zero is understood to be the limit value 1. The sinc function is then analytic everywhere and hence an entire function . The function has also been called

For example, the sinc function for the hexagonal lattice is a function whose Fourier transform is the indicator function of the unit hexagon in the frequency space. For a non-Cartesian lattice this function can not be obtained by a simple tensor product. However,

Historically the city has come under Ottoman and Habsburg control, and was known in many languages by translations of "white castle" – Croatian : Biograd , Slovak : Belehrad , etc. The place has been inhabited since

1472-848: The McCarthy era, Lanczos came under suspicion for possible communist links. In 1952, he left the U.S. and moved to the School of Theoretical Physics at the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies in Ireland, where he succeeded Erwin Schrödinger and stayed until his death in 1974. In 1956 Lanczos published Applied Analysis . The topics covered include "algebraic equations, matrices and eigenvalue problems, large scale linear systems, harmonic analysis, data analysis, quadrature and power expansions...illustrated by numerical examples worked out in detail." The contents of

1536-563: The Red Army advanced on the city. The Germans had chosen to concentrate their forces to protect the 15-mile gap between Fehérvár and Lake Balaton . Whereas most of the gap consisted of marsh and difficult ground, Fehérvár was the node for eight highways and six railways. Despite the heavy German defences, a Soviet flying column broke through and occupied the city on 23 December; the Germans were able to push them out on 22 January 1945. In March 1945,

The term sinc / ˈ s ɪ ŋ k / was introduced by Philip M. Woodward in his 1952 article "Information theory and inverse probability in telecommunication", in which he said that the function "occurs so often in Fourier analysis and its applications that it does seem to merit some notation of its own", and his 1953 book Probability and Information Theory, with Applications to Radar . The function itself

By the Doctrine of the Holy Crown , all kings of Hungary were obliged to be crowned in this cathedral, and to take part in coronation ceremony in the surroundings of the cathedral. The coronations after that time were held in Pozsony (now Bratislava ). In 1703, Székesfehérvár regained

1792-586: The cosine function. That is, ⁠ sin( ξ ) / ξ ⁠ = cos( ξ ) for all points ξ where the derivative of ⁠ sin( x ) / x ⁠ is zero and thus a local extremum is reached.

2112-524: The 14th century, Székesfehérvár was surrounded by city walls. After the death of King Mátyás (1490), the German army of 20,000 men led by the Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I invaded Hungary. They advanced into the heart of Hungary and captured the city of Székesfehérvár, which they sacked, as well as the tomb of King Mátyás, which was kept there. His Landsknechts were still unsatisfied with

After the Migration Period Fejér County was the part of the Avar Khaganate , while the Slavic and Great Moravian presence is disputed.

He also had a small stone castle built. Székesfehérvár was first mentioned in a document by the Bishopric of Veszprém , 1009, as Alba Civitas . István I , Grand Prince of the Hungarians , granted town rights to the settlement, surrounded

2304-679: The Ottomans by a lengthy siege. The Ottoman Empire continued to stretch northwards, taking parts of the Kingdom of Hungary in the 16th century, and reaching as far north as the Podolia in the mid-17th century; by the signing of the Peace of Buczacz with the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth in 1672, most of the Balkans was under Ottoman control. Except for a short period in 1601 ,when Székesfehérvár

In 1924 he discovered an exact solution of the Einstein field equation representing a cylindrically symmetric rigidly rotating configuration of dust particles.

Lanczos did pioneering work along with G. C. Danielson on what is now called the fast Fourier transform (FFT, 1940), but the significance of his discovery was not appreciated at the time, and today the FFT

2624-486: The city centre preserved its Baroque atmosphere. The most important Baroque buildings are the cathedral, the episcopal palace and the city hall. After the end of the Communist regime in Hungary (1989), the planned economy was abandoned in favor of the implementation of a free market system; all the important factories were on the verge of collapse (some eventually folded) and thousands of people lost their jobs. However,

2688-401: The city profited from losing the old and inefficient companies, as an abundance of skilled labour coupled with excellent traffic connections, and existing infrastructure attracted numerous foreign firms seeking to invest in Hungary. Székesfehérvár became one of the prime destinations for multinational companies setting up shop in Hungary ( Ford and IBM are some of them), turning the city into

During the Mongol invasion of Hungary (1241–1242), the invaders could not get close to the castle: Kadan ruled Mongol warriors could not get through the surrounding marshes because of flooding caused by melting snow. In the 13th–15th centuries, the town prospered, and several palaces were built. In

In 1933 his son Elmar was born; Elmar came to Lafayette, Indiana with his father in August 1939, just before WW II broke out. Maria was too ill to travel and died several weeks later from tuberculosis . When the Nazis purged Hungary of Jews in 1944, of Lanczos' family, only his sister and a nephew survived.

3968-427: Was first mathematically derived in this form by Lord Rayleigh in his expression ( Rayleigh's formula ) for the zeroth-order spherical Bessel function of the first kind. The zero crossings of the unnormalized sinc are at non-zero integer multiples of π , while zero crossings of the normalized sinc occur at non-zero integers. The local maxima and minima of the unnormalized sinc correspond to its intersections with

4032-470: Was reconquered by an army led by Lawrence of Brindisi , the city remained under Ottoman administration for 145 years, until 1688, with the Ottomans being preoccupied with the Morean War . They renamed the city Beograd ("White city", from Serbian Beograd ) and built mosques . In the 16th–17th centuries, it looked like a Muslim city . As a result, most of the original Hungarian population fled. It became

4096-584: Was subject to industrialization , like many other cities and towns in the country. The most important factories were the Ikarus Bus factory, the Videoton radio and TV factory, and the Könnyűfémmű (colloquially Köfém) aluminium processing plant, since acquired by Alcoa . By the 1970s, Székesfehérvár had swelled to more than 100,000 inhabitants (in 1945 it had only about 35,000). Several housing estates were built, but
