  2. Parabolic SAR - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parabolic_SAR

    It is a trend-following (lagging) indicator and may be used to set a trailing stop loss or determine entry or exit points based on prices tending to stay within a parabolic curve during a strong trend. Similar to option theory's concept of time decay, the concept draws on the idea that "time is the enemy". Thus, unless a security can continue ...

  3. Fermat's spiral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermat's_spiral

    The Fermat spiral with polar equation = can be converted to the Cartesian coordinates (x, y) by using the standard conversion formulas x = r cos φ and y = r sin φ.Using the polar equation for the spiral to eliminate r from these conversions produces parametric equations for one branch of the curve:

  4. Parabolic trajectory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parabolic_trajectory

    The green path in this image is an example of a parabolic trajectory. A parabolic trajectory is depicted in the bottom-left quadrant of this diagram, where the gravitational potential well of the central mass shows potential energy, and the kinetic energy of the parabolic trajectory is shown in red. The height of the kinetic energy decreases ...

  5. Parabolic coordinates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parabolic_coordinates

    The two-dimensional parabolic coordinates form the basis for two sets of three-dimensional orthogonal coordinates. The parabolic cylindrical coordinates are produced by projecting in the -direction. Rotation about the symmetry axis of the parabolae produces a set of confocal paraboloids, the coordinate system of tridimensional parabolic ...

  6. Parametric equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parametric_equation

    The butterfly curve can be defined by parametric equations of x and y.. In mathematics, a parametric equation expresses several quantities, such as the coordinates of a point, as functions of one or several variables called parameters.

  7. Feynman–Kac formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feynman–Kac_formula

    The Feynman–Kac formula, named after Richard Feynman and Mark Kac, establishes a link between parabolic partial differential equations and stochastic processes.In 1947, when Kac and Feynman were both faculty members at Cornell University, Kac attended a presentation of Feynman's and remarked that the two of them were working on the same thing from different directions. [1]

  8. Alternating-direction implicit method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternating-direction...

    In numerical linear algebra, the alternating-direction implicit (ADI) method is an iterative method used to solve Sylvester matrix equations.It is a popular method for solving the large matrix equations that arise in systems theory and control, [1] and can be formulated to construct solutions in a memory-efficient, factored form.

  9. Orbital mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbital_mechanics

    For near-parabolic orbits, eccentricity is nearly 1, and substituting = into the formula for mean anomaly, ⁡, we find ourselves subtracting two nearly-equal values, and accuracy suffers. For near-circular orbits, it is hard to find the periapsis in the first place (and truly circular orbits have no periapsis at all).
