  2. Block-stacking problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block-stacking_problem

    The first nine blocks in the solution to the single-wide block-stacking problem with the overhangs indicated. In statics, the block-stacking problem (sometimes known as The Leaning Tower of Lire (Johnson 1955), also the book-stacking problem, or a number of other similar terms) is a puzzle concerning the stacking of blocks at the edge of a table.

  3. Penrose graphical notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penrose_graphical_notation

    A diagram in the notation consists of several shapes linked together by lines. The notation widely appears in modern quantum theory , particularly in matrix product states and quantum circuits . In particular, categorical quantum mechanics (which includes ZX-calculus ) is a fully comprehensive reformulation of quantum theory in terms of Penrose ...

  4. Type IIB supergravity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_IIB_supergravity

    The first line in the action contains the Einstein–Hilbert action, the dilaton kinetic term, and the Kalb–Ramond field strength tensor =. The first term on the second line has the appropriately modified field strength tensors for the three C p {\displaystyle C_{p}} gauge fields, while the last term is a Chern–Simons term .

  5. Tensor derivative (continuum mechanics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tensor_derivative...

    The derivatives of scalars, vectors, and second-order tensors with respect to second-order tensors are of considerable use in continuum mechanics. These derivatives are used in the theories of nonlinear elasticity and plasticity, particularly in the design of algorithms for numerical simulations. [1]

  6. Cartesian tensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartesian_tensor

    Cartesian tensors may be used with any Euclidean space, or more technically, any finite-dimensional vector space over the field of real numbers that has an inner product. Use of Cartesian tensors occurs in physics and engineering, such as with the Cauchy stress tensor and the moment of inertia tensor in rigid body dynamics.

  7. Gamma matrices - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamma_matrices

    The defining property for the gamma matrices to generate a Clifford algebra is the anticommutation relation {,} = + = ,where the curly brackets {,} represent the anticommutator, is the Minkowski metric with signature (+ − − −), and is the 4 × 4 identity matrix.

  8. Stack (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stack_(mathematics)

    This moduli stack has a completion consisting of the moduli stack of stable curves (for given and ), which is proper over Spec Z. For example, M 0 {\displaystyle {\mathcal {M}}_{0}} is the classifying stack B PGL ( 2 ) {\displaystyle B{\text{PGL}}(2)} of the projective general linear group.

  9. Tensor decomposition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tensor_decomposition

    A multi-way graph with K perspectives is a collection of K matrices ,..... with dimensions I × J (where I, J are the number of nodes). This collection of matrices is naturally represented as a tensor X of size I × J × K. In order to avoid overloading the term “dimension”, we call an I × J × K tensor a three “mode” tensor, where “modes” are the numbers of indices used to index ...
