    At the other extreme, if is a deterministic function of and is a deterministic function of then all information conveyed by is shared with : knowing determines the value of and vice versa. As a result, the mutual information is the same as the uncertainty contained in Y {\displaystyle Y} (or X {\displaystyle X} ) alone, namely the entropy of Y ...

  3. Joint probability distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joint_probability_distribution

    t. e. Given two random variables that are defined on the same probability space, [ 1 ] the joint probability distribution is the corresponding probability distribution on all possible pairs of outputs. The joint distribution can just as well be considered for any given number of random variables. The joint distribution encodes the marginal ...

  4. Forward kinematics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forward_kinematics

    In robot kinematics, forward kinematics refers to the use of the kinematic equations of a robot to compute the position of the end-effector from specified values for the joint parameters. [1] The kinematics equations of the robot are used in robotics, computer games, and animation. The reverse process, that computes the joint parameters that ...

  5. Free body diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_body_diagram

    In physics and engineering, a free body diagram (FBD; also called a force diagram) [1] is a graphical illustration used to visualize the applied forces, moments, and resulting reactions on a free body in a given condition. It depicts a body or connected bodies with all the applied forces and moments, and reactions, which act on the body (ies).

  6. Equations of motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equations_of_motion

    There are two main descriptions of motion: dynamics and kinematics.Dynamics is general, since the momenta, forces and energy of the particles are taken into account. In this instance, sometimes the term dynamics refers to the differential equations that the system satisfies (e.g., Newton's second law or Euler–Lagrange equations), and sometimes to the solutions to those equations.

  7. Ginzburg–Landau theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ginzburg–Landau_theory

    Ginzburg–Landau theory. In physics, Ginzburg–Landau theory, often called Landau–Ginzburg theory, named after Vitaly Ginzburg and Lev Landau, is a mathematical physical theory used to describe superconductivity. In its initial form, it was postulated as a phenomenological model which could describe type-I superconductors without examining ...

  8. Ideal chain - Wikipedia

    N mers form the polymer, whose total unfolded length is: =, where N is the number of mers.. In this very simple approach where no interactions between mers are considered, the energy of the polymer is taken to be independent of its shape, which means that at thermodynamic equilibrium, all of its shape configurations are equally likely to occur as the polymer fluctuates in time, according to ...

  9. Joint entropy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joint_entropy

    Less than or equal to the sum of individual entropies. The joint entropy of a set of variables is less than or equal to the sum of the individual entropies of the variables in the set. This is an example of subadditivity. This inequality is an equality if and only if and are statistically independent. [3]: 30.
