The theorem is named after Frank Kelly. Statement For a continuous time Markov chain with state space S and t...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land%C3%A9%20interval%20rule
In atomic physics, the Landé interval rule states that, due to weak angular momentum coupling (either spin-orbit or spin-spin coupling), the energy splitting between successive sub-levels are proportional to the total angular momentum quantum number (J or F) of the sub-level with the larger of their total angular mome...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axial%20precession
In astronomy, axial precession is a gravity-induced, slow, and continuous change in the orientation of an astronomical body's rotational axis. In the absence of precession, the astronomical body's orbit would show axial parallelism. In particular, axial precession can refer to the gradual shift in the orientation of Ea...

Cladding in optical fibers is one or more layers of materials of lower refractive index in intimate contact with a core material of higher refractive index. The cladding causes light to be confined to the core of the fiber by total internal reflection at the boundary between the core and cladding. Light propagation w...

In mathematics, the Dedekind eta function, named after Richard Dedekind, is a modular form of weight 1/2 and is a function defined on the upper half-plane of complex numbers, where the imaginary part is positive. It also occurs in bosonic string theory. Definition For any complex number with , let ; then the eta func...
