The Machado Function: A New Mathematical Function
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: The Machado Function is a new mathematical function defined by a recurrence relation with dissipative memory. It has a fundamental property: a natural boundary that divides its domain into two regions of distinct behavior — convergent and divergent. The function has a stable minimum in its convergent region and has no zeros in its critical region. The Machado Function is a mathematical object in its own right.
