A degenerate conic is a conic section (a second-degree plane curve, defined by a polynomial equation of degree two) that fails to be an irreducible curve. A point is a degenerate circle, namely one with radius 0. [1] The line is a degenerate case of a parabola if the parabola resides on a tangent plane.
Degenerate art, a term adopted in the 1920s by the Nazi Party in Germany to describe modern art Decadent movement, often associated with degeneracy; Dégénération, a single by Mylène Farmer; Degeneration, an 1892 book by Max Nordau; Resident Evil: Degeneration, a 2008 film "Degenerate", a song by Blink-182 from the album Dude Ranch
Degenerate components compensate for one another under conditions where they are functionally redundant, thus providing robustness against component or pathway failure. Because degenerate components are somewhat different, they tend to harbor unique sensitivities so that a targeted attack such as a specific inhibitor is less likely to present a ...
The book The Five Ages of the Universe discusses the history, present state, and probable future of the universe, according to cosmologists' current understanding. The book divides the timeline of the universe into five eras: the Primordial Era, the Stelliferous Era, the Degenerate Era, the Black Hole Era and the Dark Era.
The central idea of this concept was that in "degenerative" illness, there is a steady decline in mental functioning and social adaptation from one generation to the other. For example, there might be an intergenerational development from nervous character to major depressive disorder, to overt psychotic illness and, finally, to severe and ...
For z = x + ε y, the dual number form is x 2 which is a degenerate quadratic form. The split-complex case is an isotropic form, and the complex case is a definite form.
The degenerate univariate distribution can be viewed as the limiting case of a continuous distribution whose variance goes to 0 causing the probability density function to be a delta function at k 0, with infinite height there but area equal to 1. [citation needed] The cumulative distribution function of the univariate degenerate distribution is:
