  2. Potential gradient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potential_gradient

    The simplest definition for a potential gradient F in one dimension is the following: [1] = = where ϕ(x) is some type of scalar potential and x is displacement (not distance) in the x direction, the subscripts label two different positions x 1, x 2, and potentials at those points, ϕ 1 = ϕ(x 1), ϕ 2 = ϕ(x 2).

  3. Plotting algorithms for the Mandelbrot set - Wikipedia

    for (x = 0; x < width; x++) do for (y = 0; y < height; y++) do i:= IterationCounts[x][y] NumIterationsPerPixel[i]++ The third pass iterates through the NumIterationsPerPixel array and adds up all the stored values, saving them in total. The array index represents the number of pixels that reached that iteration count before bailout.

  4. Mosaic plot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mosaic_plot

    A mosaic plot, Marimekko chart, Mekko chart, or sometimes percent stacked bar plot, is a graphical visualization of data from two or more qualitative variables. [1] It is the multidimensional extension of spineplots, which graphically display the same information for only one variable. [ 2 ]

  5. Interior-point method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interior-point_method

    An interior point method was discovered by Soviet mathematician I. I. Dikin in 1967. [1] The method was reinvented in the U.S. in the mid-1980s. In 1984, Narendra Karmarkar developed a method for linear programming called Karmarkar's algorithm, [2] which runs in probably polynomial time (() operations on L-bit numbers, where n is the number of variables and constants), and is also very ...

  6. Scalar potential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scalar_potential

    It has a potential energy = where U is the gravitational potential energy and h is the height above the surface. This means that gravitational potential energy on a contour map is proportional to altitude. On a contour map, the two-dimensional negative gradient of the altitude is a two-dimensional vector field, whose vectors are always ...

  7. Prewitt operator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prewitt_operator

    Technically, it is a discrete differentiation operator, computing an approximation of the gradient of the image intensity function. At each point in the image, the result of the Prewitt operator is either the corresponding gradient vector or the norm of this vector.

  8. Brunt–Väisälä frequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brunt–Väisälä_frequency

    This parcel is in an environment of other water or gas particles where the density of the environment is a function of height: = (). If the parcel is displaced by a small vertical increment z ′ {\displaystyle z'} , and it maintains its original density so that its volume does not change, it will be subject to an extra gravitational force ...

  9. Reference atmospheric model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reference_atmospheric_model

    The U.S. Standard Atmosphere model starts with many of the same assumptions as the isothermal-barotropic model, including ideal gas behavior, and constant molecular weight, but it differs by defining a more realistic temperature function, consisting of eight data points connected by straight lines; i.e. regions of constant temperature gradient ...
