For a chaotic system to have dense periodic orbits means that every point in the space is approached arbitrarily closely by periodic orbits. [33] The one-dimensional logistic map defined by x → 4 x (1 – x ) is one of the simplest systems with density of periodic orbits.
Spectrum continuation analysis (SCA) is a generalization of the concept of Fourier series to non-periodic functions of which only a fragment has been sampled in the time domain. Recall that a Fourier series is only suitable to the analysis of periodic (or finite-domain) functions f ( x ) with period 2π.
A periodic function, also called a periodic waveform (or simply periodic wave), is a function that repeats its values at regular intervals or periods. The repeatable part of the function or waveform is called a cycle . [ 1 ]
The amplitude of a non-periodic signal is its magnitude compared with a reference value. There are various definitions of amplitude (see below), which are all functions of the magnitude of the differences between the variable's extreme values. In older texts, the phase of a periodic function is sometimes called the amplitude. [1]
General mathematical techniques for analyzing non-periodic functions fall into the category of Fourier analysis. The Fourier transform of a function produces a frequency spectrum which contains all of the information about the original signal, but in a different form.
Harmonic analysis is a branch of mathematics concerned with investigating the connections between a function and its representation in frequency.The frequency representation is found by using the Fourier transform for functions on unbounded domains such as the full real line or by Fourier series for functions on bounded domains, especially periodic functions on finite intervals.
Fourier discovered that every continuous, periodic function could be described as an infinite sum of trigonometric functions. Even non-periodic functions can be represented as an integral of sines and cosines through the Fourier transform. This has applications to quantum mechanics [64] and communications, [65] among other fields.
Course Hero was founded by Andrew Grauer at Cornell University in 2006 for college students to share lectures, class notes, exams and assignments. [ 4 ] In November 2014, the company raised $15 million in Series A Funding, with investors that included GSV Capital and IDG Capital.
