  2. Logarithmic decrement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logarithmic_decrement

    The logarithmic decrement can be obtained e.g. as ln(x 1 /x 3).Logarithmic decrement, , is used to find the damping ratio of an underdamped system in the time domain.. The method of logarithmic decrement becomes less and less precise as the damping ratio increases past about 0.5; it does not apply at all for a damping ratio greater than 1.0 because the system is overdamped.

  4. Increment and decrement operators - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Increment_and_decrement...

    The post-increment and post-decrement operators increase (or decrease) the value of their operand by 1, but the value of the expression is the operand's value prior to the increment (or decrement) operation. In languages where increment/decrement is not an expression (e.g., Go), only one version is needed (in the case of Go, post operators only).

  5. Increment - Wikipedia

    Increment and decrement operators, the operators ++ and --in computer programming; Incremental computing; Incremental backup, which contain only that portion that has changed since the preceding backup copy. Increment, chess term for additional time a chess player receives on each move; Incremental games; Increment in rounding

  6. Decrement table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decrement_table

    Multiple-decrement (or competing) tables report net effectiveness rates. These are useful for comparing competing reasons for couples dropping out of a study. Single-decrement (or noncompeting) tables report gross effectiveness rates, which can be used to accurately compare one study to another. [1]

  7. Logarithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logarithm

    Definition [ edit ] Given a positive real number b such that b ≠ 1 , the logarithm of a positive real number x with respect to base b [ nb 1 ] is the exponent by which b must be raised to yield x .

  8. Exponential function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponential_function

    Exponential functions with bases 2 and 1/2. In mathematics, the exponential function is the unique real function which maps zero to one and has a derivative equal to its value. . The exponential of a variable ⁠ ⁠ is denoted ⁠ ⁡ ⁠ or ⁠ ⁠, with the two notations used interchangeab

    When it spreads along a stretch of membrane, it becomes exponentially smaller (decrement). Action potential, a propagated impulse. Electrotonic potentials represent changes to the neuron's membrane potential that do not lead to the generation of new current by action potentials. [1]
