A Bloch wave function (bottom) can be broken up into the product of a periodic function (top) and a plane-wave (center). The left side and right side represent the same Bloch state broken up in two different ways, involving the wave vector k 1 (left) or k 2 (right). The difference (k 1 − k 2) is a reciprocal lattice vector. In all plots, blue ...
In the logistic map, r is a parameter, and x is a variable. It is a map in the sense that it maps a configuration or phase space to itself (in this simple case the space is one dimensional in the variable x)
Mathematically, the duality between position and momentum is an example of Pontryagin duality. In particular, if a function is given in position space, f(r), then its Fourier transform obtains the function in momentum space, φ(p). Conversely, the inverse Fourier transform of a momentum space function is a position space function.
The eigenfunctions of the position operator (on the space of tempered distributions), represented in position space, are Dirac delta functions. Informal proof. To show that possible eigenvectors of the position operator should necessarily be Dirac delta distributions, suppose that ψ {\displaystyle \psi } is an eigenstate of the position ...
MATLAB (an abbreviation of "MATrix LABoratory" [18]) is a proprietary multi-paradigm programming language and numeric computing environment developed by MathWorks.MATLAB allows matrix manipulations, plotting of functions and data, implementation of algorithms, creation of user interfaces, and interfacing with programs written in other languages.
Animation of how cross-correlation is calculated. The left graph shows a green function G that is phase-shifted relative to function F by a time displacement of 𝜏. The middle graph shows the function F and the phase-shifted G represented together as a Lissajous curve. Integrating F multiplied by the phase-shifted G produces the right graph ...
If n is an integer, then n < 0 must imply that n ≤ −1, while n > 0 must imply that the function attains unity at n = 1. Therefore the "step function" exhibits ramp-like behavior over the domain of [−1, 1], and cannot authentically be a step function, using the half-maximum convention. Unlike the continuous case, the definition of H[0] is ...
It is also known as Principal Coordinates Analysis (PCoA), Torgerson Scaling or Torgerson–Gower scaling. It takes an input matrix giving dissimilarities between pairs of items and outputs a coordinate matrix whose configuration minimizes a loss function called strain, [2] which is given by (,,...,) = (, (),) /, where denote vectors in N-dimensional space, denotes the scalar product between ...
