The Patterson function is used to solve the phase problem in X-ray crystallography. It was introduced in 1935 by Arthur Lindo Patterson while he was a visiting researcher in the laboratory of Bertram Eugene Warren at MIT. The Patterson function is defined as P ( u , v , w ) = ∑ h , k , ℓ ∈ Z | F h , k , ℓ | 2 e − 2 π i ( h u + k v + ℓ w ) .
