  2. Scaling (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scaling_(geometry)

    The scaling is uniform if and only if the scaling factors are equal (v x = v y = v z). If all except one of the scale factors are equal to 1, we have directional scaling. In the case where v x = v y = v z = k, scaling increases the area of any surface by a factor of k 2 and the volume of any solid object by a factor of k 3.

  3. Curve-shortening flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curve-shortening_flow

    A flow is a process in which the points of a space continuously change their locations or properties over time. More specifically, in a one-dimensional geometric flow such as the curve-shortening flow, the points undergoing the flow belong to a curve, and what changes is the shape of the curve, its embedding into the Euclidean plane determined by the locations of each of its points.

  4. Shear mapping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shear_mapping

    Therefore, the shear factor m is the cotangent of the shear angle between the former verticals and the x-axis. (In the example on the right the square is tilted by 30°, so the shear angle is 60°.) (In the example on the right the square is tilted by 30°, so the shear angle is 60°.)

  5. Transformation (function) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transformation_(function)

    In mathematics, a transformation, transform, or self-map [1] is a function f, usually with some geometrical underpinning, that maps a set X to itself, i.e. f: XX. [2] [3] [4] Examples include linear transformations of vector spaces and geometric transformations, which include projective transformations, affine transformations, and specific ...

  6. Stretch factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stretch_factor

    The stretch factor of the pair is the ratio between these two distances, d(f(x),f(y))/d(x,y). The stretch factor of the whole mapping is the supremum of the stretch factors of all pairs of points. The stretch factor has also been called the distortion [disputed – discuss] or dilation of the mapping.

  7. Gaussian function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaussian_function

    The figure on the right was created using A = 1, x 0 = 0, y 0 = 0, σ x = σ y = 1. The volume under the Gaussian function is given by V = ∫ − ∞ ∞ ∫ − ∞ ∞ f ( x , y ) d x d y = 2 π A σ X σ Y . {\displaystyle V=\int _{-\infty }^{\infty }\int _{-\infty }^{\infty }f(x,y)\,dx\,dy=2\pi A\sigma _{X}\sigma _{Y}.}

    A 1.35 factor rate is a mid-range rate lenders charge to borrow money. Factor rates typically fall between 1.1 and 1.5. With a 1.35 factor rate, it will cost $35,000 to borrow $100,000 ($100,000 x ...

  9. Scale analysis (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_analysis_(mathematics)

    In synoptic scale we can expect horizontal velocities about U = 10 1 m.s −1 and vertical about W = 10 −2 m.s −1. Horizontal scale is L = 10 6 m and vertical scale is H = 10 4 m. Typical time scale is T = L/U = 10 5 s. Pressure differences in troposphere are ΔP = 10 4 Pa and density of air ρ = 10 0 kg⋅m −3. Other physical properties ...
