  2. Second-order logic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second-order_logic

    The second-order logic without these restrictions is sometimes called full second-order logic to distinguish it from the monadic version. Monadic second-order logic is particularly used in the context of Courcelle's theorem, an algorithmic meta-theorem in graph theory. The MSO theory of the complete infinite binary tree is decidable.

  3. Second-order cybernetics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second-order_cybernetics

    Second-order cybernetics, also known as the cybernetics of ... The notion of eigenform is an example of a self-referential system that produces a stable form.

  4. Double integrator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_integrator

    Feedback system with a PD controller and a double integrator plant. In systems and control theory, the double integrator is a canonical example of a second-order control system. [1] It models the dynamics of a simple mass in one-dimensional space under the effect of a time-varying force input .

  5. Damping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damping

    The effect of varying damping ratio on a second-order system. The damping ratio is a parameter, usually denoted by ζ (Greek letter zeta), [7] that characterizes the frequency response of a second-order ordinary differential equation. It is particularly important in the study of control theory. It is also important in the harmonic oscillator ...

  6. Settling time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Settling_time

    Settling time depends on the system response and natural frequency. The settling time for a second order , underdamped system responding to a step response can be approximated if the damping ratio ζ ≪ 1 {\displaystyle \zeta \ll 1} by T s = − ln ⁡ ( tolerance fraction ) damping ratio × natural freq {\displaystyle T_{s}=-{\frac {\ln ...

  7. Second-order arithmetic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second-order_arithmetic

    A subsystem of second-order arithmetic is a theory in the language of second-order arithmetic each axiom of which is a theorem of full second-order arithmetic (Z 2). Such subsystems are essential to reverse mathematics , a research program investigating how much of classical mathematics can be derived in certain weak subsystems of varying strength.

  8. Second-order - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second-order

    Second order approximation, an approximation that includes quadratic terms; Second-order arithmetic, an axiomatization allowing quantification of sets of numbers; Second-order differential equation, a differential equation in which the highest derivative is the second; Second-order logic, an extension of predicate logic

  9. Autonomous system (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    The second-order autonomous equation = (, ′) is more difficult, but it can be solved [2] by introducing the new variable = and expressing the second derivative of via the chain rule as = = = so that the original equation becomes = (,) which is a first order equation containing no reference to the independent variable .
