Wikipedia:Jordan normal form#0 | In linear algebra, a Jordan normal form, also known as a Jordan canonical form, is an upper triangular matrix of a particular form called a Jordan matrix representing a linear operator on a finite-dimensional vector space with respect to some basis. Such a matrix has each non-zero off-diagonal entry equal to 1, immedia... |
Wikipedia:Jordan–Chevalley decomposition#0 | In mathematics, specifically linear algebra, the Jordan–Chevalley decomposition, named after Camille Jordan and Claude Chevalley, expresses a linear operator in a unique way as the sum of two other linear operators which are simpler to understand. Specifically, one part is potentially diagonalisable and the other is ni... |
Wikipedia:Jordan–Pólya number#0 | In mathematics, the Jordan–Pólya numbers are the numbers that can be obtained by multiplying together one or more factorials, not required to be distinct from each other. For instance, 480 {\displaystyle 480} is a Jordan–Pólya number because 480 = 2 ! ⋅ 2 ! ⋅ 5 ! {\displaystyle 480=2!\cdot 2!\cdot 5!} . Every tree has ... |
Wikipedia:Jorma Rissanen#0 | Jorma Johannes Rissanen (October 20, 1932 – May 9, 2020) was an information theorist, known for originating the minimum description length (MDL) principle and practical approaches to arithmetic coding for lossless data compression. His work inspired the development of the theory of stochastic chains with memory of vari... |
