Nörlund Rice Integral

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! In mathematics, the Nörlund Rice integral, sometimes called Rice's method, relates the forward difference of a function to a line integral on the complex plane. As such, it commonly appears in the theory of finite differences, and also has been applied in computer science and graph theory to estimate binary tree lengths. It is named in honour of Niels Erik Nörlund and Stephen Oswald Rice. Nörlund's contribution was to define the integral; Rice's contribution was to demonstrate its utility by applying saddle-point techniques to its evaluation.
