https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asymmetric%20norm | In mathematics, an asymmetric norm on a vector space is a generalization of the concept of a norm.
Definition
An asymmetric norm on a real vector space is a function that has the following properties:
Subadditivity, or the triangle inequality:
Nonnegative homogeneity: and every non-negative real number
Posit... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neumann%20series | A Neumann series is a mathematical series of the form
where is an operator and its times repeated application.
This generalizes the geometric series.
The series is named after the mathematician Carl Neumann, who used it in 1877 in the context of potential theory. The Neumann series is used in functional analysis.... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keutel%20syndrome | Keutel syndrome (KS) is a rare autosomal recessive genetic disorder characterized by abnormal diffuse cartilage calcification, hypoplasia of the mid-face, peripheral pulmonary stenosis, hearing loss, short distal phalanges (tips) of the fingers and mild mental retardation. Individuals with KS often present with periphe... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyrator | A gyrator is a passive, linear, lossless, two-port electrical network element proposed in 1948 by Bernard D. H. Tellegen as a hypothetical fifth linear element after the resistor, capacitor, inductor and ideal transformer. Unlike the four conventional elements, the gyrator is non-reciprocal. Gyrators permit network rea... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type-2%20fuzzy%20sets%20and%20systems | Type-2 fuzzy sets and systems generalize standard Type-1 fuzzy sets and systems so that more uncertainty can be handled. From the beginning of fuzzy sets, criticism was made about the fact that the membership function of a type-1 fuzzy set has no uncertainty associated with it, something that seems to contradict the wo... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Early%20effect | The Early effect, named after its discoverer James M. Early, is the variation in the effective width of the base in a bipolar junction transistor (BJT) due to a variation in the applied base-to-collector voltage. A greater reverse bias across the collector–base junction, for example, increases the collector–base deple... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramp%20function | The ramp function is a unary real function, whose graph is shaped like a ramp. It can be expressed by numerous definitions, for example "0 for negative inputs, output equals input for non-negative inputs". The term "ramp" can also be used for other functions obtained by scaling and shifting, and the function in this ar... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cristina%20Bazgan | Cristina Bazgan is a French computer scientist who studies combinatorial optimization and graph theory problems from the points of view of parameterized complexity, fine-grained complexity, approximation algorithms, and regret.
Bazgan earned her Ph.D. in 1998 from the University of Paris-Sud. Her dissertation, Approxi... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotary%20union | A rotary union is a union that allows for rotation of the united parts. It is thus a device that provides a seal between a stationary supply passage (such as pipe or tubing) and a rotating part (such as a drum, cylinder, or spindle) to permit the flow of a fluid into and/or out of the rotating part. Fluids typically us... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assignment%20problem | The assignment problem is a fundamental combinatorial optimization problem. In its most general form, the problem is as follows:
The problem instance has a number of agents and a number of tasks. Any agent can be assigned to perform any task, incurring some cost that may vary depending on the agent-task assignment. It ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limnodrilus%20sulphurensis | Limnodrilus sulphurensis is a species of extremophile cave-dwelling worm. Discovered in 2007, this species lives in only two known locations in Sulpher Cave Spring at Steamboat Springs' Howelsen Hill in Colorado, United States.
The worms are about an inch long and are approximately 1 to 1.5mm in diameter. |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Day%20and%20Night%20%28M.%20C.%20Escher%29 | Day and Night is a woodcut made by the Dutch artist M. C. Escher in 1938.
Artwork
The woodcut depicts a landscape mirrored horizontally with respect to the center of the image. It has two cities, each with an associated river and an interlocking pattern of birds gradually appearing towards the top of the image makin... |
