  2. Separation of variables - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Separation_of_variables

    Separation of variables may be possible in some coordinate systems but not others, [2] and which coordinate systems allow for separation depends on the symmetry properties of the equation. [3] Below is an outline of an argument demonstrating the applicability of the method to certain linear equations, although the precise method may differ in ...

  3. Mutual information - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutual_information

    In probability theory and information theory, the mutual information (MI) of two random variables is a measure of the mutual dependence between the two variables. More specifically, it quantifies the " amount of information " (in units such as shannons ( bits ), nats or hartleys ) obtained about one random variable by observing the other random ...

  4. Joint entropy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joint_entropy

    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 X {\displaystyle X} and Y {\displaystyle Y} are statistically independent .

  5. Differential-algebraic system of equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential-algebraic...

    The variables in x and the first half f of the equations get the attribute differential. The components of y and the second half g of the equations are called the algebraic variables or equations of the system.

  6. Conditional entropy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conditional_entropy

    The above definition is for discrete random variables. The continuous version of discrete conditional entropy is called conditional differential (or continuous) entropy. Let and be a continuous random variables with a joint probability density function (,).

  7. Autonomous system (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autonomous_system...

    Stability generally increases to the left of the diagram. [1] Some sink, source or node are equilibrium points. 2-dimensional case refers to Phase plane. In mathematics, an autonomous system or autonomous differential equation is a system of ordinary differential equations which does not explicitly depend on the independent variable.

  8. Multivariable calculus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multivariable_calculus

    Multivariable calculus (also known as multivariate calculus) is the extension of calculus in one variable to calculus with functions of several variables: the differentiation and integration of functions involving multiple variables (multivariate), rather than just one.

  9. Numerical methods for ordinary differential equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_methods_for...

    Ordinary differential equations occur in many scientific disciplines, including physics, chemistry, biology, and economics. [1] In addition, some methods in numerical partial differential equations convert the partial differential equation into an ordinary differential equation, which must then be solved.
