  2. Quantum calculus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_calculus

    For 0 < q < 1, the series converges to a function F(x) on an interval (0,A] if |f(x)x α | is bounded on the interval (0, A] for some 0 ≤ α < 1. The q-integral is a Riemann–Stieltjes integral with respect to a step function having infinitely many points of increase at the points q j..The jump at the point q j is q j. Calling this step ...

  3. Canonical commutation relation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canonical_commutation_relation

    According to the correspondence principle, in certain limits the quantum equations of states must approach Hamilton's equations of motion.The latter state the following relation between the generalized coordinate q (e.g. position) and the generalized momentum p: {˙ = = {,}; ˙ = = {,}.

  4. Uncertainty principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncertainty_principle

    where = is the reduced Planck constant.. The quintessentially quantum mechanical uncertainty principle comes in many forms other than position–momentum. The energy–time relationship is widely used to relate quantum state lifetime to measured energy widths but its formal derivation is fraught with confusing issues about the nature of time.

  5. Jacobian matrix and determinant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacobian_matrix_and...

    This means that the rank at the critical point is lower than the rank at some neighbour point. In other words, let k be the maximal dimension of the open balls contained in the image of f; then a point is critical if all minors of rank k of f are zero. In the case where m = n = k, a point is critical if the Jacobian determinant is zero.

  6. Necessity and sufficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Necessity_and_sufficiency

    The assertion that Q is necessary for P is colloquially equivalent to "P cannot be true unless Q is true" or "if Q is false, then P is false". [9] [1] By contraposition, this is the same thing as "whenever P is true, so is Q". The logical relation between P and Q is expressed as "if P, then Q" and denoted "P ⇒ Q" (P implies Q).

    Examples of proper fractions are 2/3, –3/4, and 4/9; examples of improper fractions are 9/4, –4/3, and 3/3. improper integral In mathematical analysis , an improper integral is the limit of a definite integral as an endpoint of the interval(s) of integration approaches either a specified real number , ∞ {\displaystyle \infty } , − ∞ ...

  8. Relation (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    As an example, "is less than" is a relation on the set of natural numbers; it holds, for instance, between the values 1 and 3 (denoted as 1 < 3), and likewise between 3 and 4 (denoted as 3 < 4), but not between the values 3 and 1 nor between 4 and 4, that is, 3 < 1 and 4 < 4 both evaluate to false.

  9. Nonstandard analysis - Wikipedia

    Countable saturation: If {A k} k ∈ N is a decreasing sequence of nonempty internal sets, with k ranging over the natural numbers, then; One can show using ultraproducts that such a map * exists. Elements of V(R) are called standard. Elements of *R are called hyperreal numbers.
