https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Almost%20Mathieu%20operator
In mathematical physics, the almost Mathieu operator arises in the study of the quantum Hall effect. It is given by acting as a self-adjoint operator on the Hilbert space . Here are parameters. In pure mathematics, its importance comes from the fact of being one of the best-understood examples of an ergodic Schrödi...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S-finite%20measure
In measure theory, a branch of mathematics that studies generalized notions of volumes, an s-finite measure is a special type of measure. An s-finite measure is more general than a finite measure, but allows one to generalize certain proofs for finite measures. The s-finite measures should not be confused with the σ-f...
