  2. Basis function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basis_function

    The monomial basis also forms a basis for the vector space of polynomials. After all, every polynomial can be written as a 0 + a 1 x 1 + a 2 x 2 + ⋯ + a n x n {\displaystyle a_{0}+a_{1}x^{1}+a_{2}x^{2}+\cdots +a_{n}x^{n}} for some n ∈ N {\displaystyle n\in \mathbb {N} } , which is a linear combination of monomials.

  3. Contronym - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contronym

    In Spanish dar (basic meaning "to give"), when applied to lessons or subjects, can mean "to teach", "to take classes" or "to recite", depending on the context. [22] Similarly with the French verb apprendre , which usually means "to learn" but may refer to the action of teaching someone. [ 23 ]

  4. Opposite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opposite

    An antonym is one of a pair of words with opposite meanings. Each word in the pair is the antithesis of the other. A word may have more than one antonym. There are three categories of antonyms identified by the nature of the relationship between the opposed meanings.

  5. Covariance and contravariance of vectors - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Covariance_and_contra...

    For example, [5] suppose that we are given a basis e 1, e 2 consisting of a pair of vectors making a 45° angle with one another, such that e 1 has length 2 and e 2 has length 1. Then the dual basis vectors are given as follows: e 2 is the result of rotating e 1 through an angle of 90° (where the sense is measured by assuming the pair e 1, e 2 ...

  6. Standard basis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_basis

    Every vector a in three dimensions is a linear combination of the standard basis vectors i, j and k.. In mathematics, the standard basis (also called natural basis or canonical basis) of a coordinate vector space (such as or ) is the set of vectors, each of whose components are all zero, except one that equals 1. [1]

    This is not sharp; the gap between the functions is everywhere at least 1. Among the exponential functions of the form α x, setting α = e 2/e = 2.0870652... results in a sharp upper bound; the slightly smaller choice α = 2 fails to produce an upper bound, since then α 3 = 8 < 3 2. In applied fields the word "tight" is often used with the ...

  8. Basis (linear algebra) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basis_(linear_algebra)

    A projective basis is + points in general position, in a projective space of dimension n. A convex basis of a polytope is the set of the vertices of its convex hull. A cone basis [5] consists of one point by edge of a polygonal cone. See also a Hilbert basis (linear programming).

  9. Dual basis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual_basis

    The association of a dual basis with a basis gives a map from the space of bases of V to the space of bases of V ∗, and this is also an isomorphism. For topological fields such as the real numbers, the space of duals is a topological space , and this gives a homeomorphism between the Stiefel manifolds of bases of these spaces.
