  2. Cycles and fixed points - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cycles_and_fixed_points

    G has 2 fixed points, 1 2-cycle and 3 4-cycles B has 4 fixed points and 6 2-cycles GB has 2 fixed points and 2 7-cycles P * (1,2,3,4) T = (4,1,3,2) T Permutation of four elements with 1 fixed point and 1 3-cycle. In mathematics, the cycles of a permutation π of a finite set S correspond bijectively to the orbits of the subgroup generated by π ...

  3. Half-life - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Half-life

    In this situation it is generally uncommon to talk about half-life in the first place, but sometimes people will describe the decay in terms of its "first half-life", "second half-life", etc., where the first half-life is defined as the time required for decay from the initial value to 50%, the second half-life is from 50% to 25%, and so on.

  4. Exponential decay - Wikipedia

    Thus, the amount of material left is 21 = 1/2 raised to the (whole or fractional) number of half-lives that have passed. Thus, after 3 half-lives there will be 1/2 3 = 1/8 of the original material left. Therefore, the mean lifetime is equal to the half-life divided by the natural log of 2, or:

  5. Periodic sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periodic_sequence

    A (purely) periodic sequence (with period p), or a p-periodic sequence, is a sequence a 1, a 2, a 3, ... satisfying . a n+p = a n. for all values of n. [1] [2] [3] If a sequence is regarded as a function whose domain is the set of natural numbers, then a periodic sequence is simply a special type of periodic function.

  6. Fibonacci sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibonacci_sequence

    Lucas numbers have L 1 = 1, L 2 = 3, and L n = L n−1 + L n−2. Primefree sequences use the Fibonacci recursion with other starting points to generate sequences in which all numbers are composite. Letting a number be a linear function (other than the sum) of the 2 preceding numbers. The Pell numbers have P n = 2P n−1 + P n−2.

  7. Mandelbrot set - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandelbrot_set

    Attracting cycles and Julia sets for parameters in the 1/2, 3/7, 2/5, 1/3, 1/4, and 1/5 bulbs. The change of behavior occurring at is known as a bifurcation: the attracting fixed point "collides" with a repelling period-q cycle.

  8. Isotopes of cobalt - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isotopes_of_cobalt

    Between 600 and 800 days after SN1987A occurred, the bolometric light curve decreased at an exponential rate with half-life values from τ 1/2 = 68.6 days to τ 1/2 = 69.6 days. [6] The rate at which the luminosity decreased closely matched the exponential decay of 56 Co with a half-life of τ 1/2 = 77.233 days.

  9. Duty cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duty_cycle

    For example, a signal (10101010) has 50% duty cycle, because the pulse remains high for 1/2 of the period or low for 1/2 of the period. Similarly, for pulse (10001000) the duty cycle will be 25% because the pulse remains high only for 1/4 of the period and remains low for 3/4 of the period. Electrical motors typically use less than a 100% duty ...
