https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delay%20differential%20equation | In mathematics, delay differential equations (DDEs) are a type of differential equation in which the derivative of the unknown function at a certain time is given in terms of the values of the function at previous times.
DDEs are also called time-delay systems, systems with aftereffect or dead-time, hereditary systems... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method%20of%20averaging | In mathematics, more specifically in dynamical systems, the method of averaging (also called averaging theory) exploits systems containing time-scales separation: a fast oscillation versus a slow drift. It suggests that we perform an averaging over a given amount of time in order to iron out the fast oscillations and o... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fritz-Albert%20Popp | Fritz-Albert Popp (11 May 1938 – 4 August 2018) was a German researcher in biophysics, particularly in the study of biophotons.
Biography
Popp was born in 1938 in Frankfurt. He has a diploma in Experimental Physics (1966, University Würzburg), a Ph.D. in Theoretical Physics (1969, University Mainz), and a habilitati... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seetakt | Seetakt was a shipborne radar developed in the 1930s and used by the German Navy (Kriegsmarine) during World War II.
Development
In Germany during the late 1920s, Hans Hollmann began working in the field of microwaves, which were to later become the basis of almost all radar systems. In 1935 he published Physics and ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximal%20munch | In computer programming and computer science, "maximal munch" or "longest match" is the principle that when creating some construct, as much of the available input as possible should be consumed.
The earliest known use of this term is by R.G.G. Cattell in his PhD thesis on automatic derivation of code generators for c... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonnegative%20matrix | In mathematics, a nonnegative matrix, written
is a matrix in which all the elements are equal to or greater than zero, that is,
A positive matrix is a matrix in which all the elements are strictly greater than zero. The set of positive matrices is a subset of all non-negative matrices. While such matrices are commo... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fundamental%20vector%20field | In the study of mathematics and especially differential geometry, fundamental vector fields are an instrument that describes the infinitesimal behaviour of a smooth Lie group action on a smooth manifold. Such vector fields find important applications in the study of Lie theory, symplectic geometry, and the study of Ham... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polar%20space | In mathematics, in the field of geometry, a polar space of rank n (), or projective index , consists of a set P, conventionally called the set of points, together with certain subsets of P, called subspaces, that satisfy these axioms:
Every subspace is isomorphic to a projective space with and K a division ring. (... |
