https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levi%20graph | In combinatorial mathematics, a Levi graph or incidence graph is a bipartite graph associated with an incidence structure. From a collection of points and lines in an incidence geometry or a projective configuration, we form a graph with one vertex per point, one vertex per line, and an edge for every incidence between... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closed%20monoidal%20category | In mathematics, especially in category theory, a closed monoidal category (or a monoidal closed category) is a category that is both a monoidal category and a closed category in such a way that the structures are compatible.
A classic example is the category of sets, Set, where the monoidal product of sets and is th... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Particle%20filter | Particle filters, or sequential Monte Carlo methods, are a set of Monte Carlo algorithms used to find approximate solutions for filtering problems for nonlinear state-space systems, such as signal processing and Bayesian statistical inference. The filtering problem consists of estimating the internal states in dynamica... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closed%20category | In category theory, a branch of mathematics, a closed category is a special kind of category.
In a locally small category, the external hom (x, y) maps a pair of objects to a set of morphisms. So in the category of sets, this is an object of the category itself. In the same vein, in a closed category, the (object of) ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homoplasmy | Homoplasmy is a term used in genetics to describe a eukaryotic cell whose copies of mitochondrial DNA are all identical. In normal and healthy tissues, all cells are homoplasmic. Homoplasmic mitochondrial DNA copies may be normal or mutated; however, most mutations are heteroplasmic (only occurring in some copies of mi... |
