information contained in a size function can be combinatorially stored in a formal series of lines and points of the plane, called respectively cornerlines and... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Size%20functor | Given a size pair where is a manifold of dimension
and is an arbitrary real continuous function defined
on it, the -th size functor, with , denoted by , is the functor in , where is the category of ordered real numbers, and is the category of Abelian groups, defined in the following way. For , setting , , e... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partition%20function%20%28mathematics%29 | The partition function or configuration integral, as used in probability theory, information theory and dynamical systems, is a generalization of the definition of a partition function in statistical mechanics. It is a special case of a normalizing constant in probability theory, for the Boltzmann distribution. The par... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage%20message | In computer programming, a usage message or help message is a brief message displayed by a program that utilizes a command-line interface for execution. This message usually consists of the correct command line usage for the program and includes a list of the correct command-line arguments or options acceptable to said... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panos%20%28operating%20system%29 | PANOS is a discontinued computer operating system developed by Acorn Computers in the 1980s and released in 1985, which ran on the 32016 Second Processor for the BBC Micro and the Acorn Cambridge Workstation. These systems had essentially the same architecture, based on a 32-bit NS32016 CPU; the ACW having a BBC Micro-... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decipherment%20of%20rongorongo | There have been numerous attempts to decipher the rongorongo script of Easter Island since its discovery in the late nineteenth century. As with most undeciphered scripts, many of the proposals have been fanciful. Apart from a portion of one tablet which has been shown to deal with a lunar calendar, none of the texts a... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bankoff%20circle | In geometry, the Bankoff circle or Bankoff triplet circle is a certain Archimedean circle that can be constructed from an arbelos; an Archimedean circle is any circle with area equal to each of Archimedes' twin circles. The Bankoff circle was first constructed by Leon Bankoff in 1974.
Construction
The Bankoff circle i... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permanent%20downhole%20gauge | A permanent downhole gauge (PDG) is a pressure and/or temperature gauge permanently installed in an oil or gas well. Typically they are installed in tubing in the well and can measure the tubing pressure or annulus pressure or both. Systems installed in well casing to read formation pressure directly, suspended systems... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unfolding%20%28functions%29 | In mathematics, an unfolding of a smooth real-valued function ƒ on a smooth manifold, is a certain family of functions that includes ƒ.
Definition
Let be a smooth manifold and consider a smooth mapping Let us assume that for given and we have . Let be a smooth -dimensional manifold, and consider the family of m... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partial%20autocorrelation%20function | In time series analysis, the partial autocorrelation function (PACF) gives the partial correlation of a stationary time series with its own lagged values, regressed the values of the time series at all shorter lags. It contrasts with the autocorrelation function, which does not control for other lags.
This function pl... |
