  2. Envelope (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    The orbits' envelope of the projectiles (with constant initial speed) is a concave parabola. The initial speed is 10 m/s. We take g = 10 m/s 2. We consider the following example of envelope in motion. Suppose at initial height 0, one casts a projectile into the air with constant initial velocity v but different elevation angles θ.

  3. Lower envelope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lower_envelope

    The upper envelope or pointwise maximum is defined symmetrically. For an infinite set of functions, the same notions may be defined using the infimum in place of the minimum, and the supremum in place of the maximum. [1] For continuous functions from a given class, the lower or upper envelope is a piecewise function whose pieces are from the ...

  4. Lower convex envelope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lower_convex_envelope

    In mathematics, the lower convex envelope ˘ of a function defined on an interval [,] is defined at each point of the interval as the supremum of all convex functions that lie under that function, i.e.

  5. Moreau envelope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moreau_envelope

    The Moreau envelope has important applications in mathematical optimization: minimizing over and minimizing over are equivalent problems in the sense that the sets of minimizers of and are the same. However, first-order optimization algorithms can be directly applied to M f {\displaystyle M_{f}} , since f {\displaystyle f} may be non ...

  6. Envelope (waves) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Envelope_(waves)

    In physics and engineering, the envelope of an oscillating signal is a smooth curve outlining its extremes. [1] The envelope thus generalizes the concept of a constant amplitude into an instantaneous amplitude. The figure illustrates a modulated sine wave varying between an upper envelope and a lower envelope. The envelope function may be a ...

  7. Envelope (category theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Envelope_(category_theory)

    The smooth envelope [15] of a stereotype algebra is an envelope of in the category of all involutive stereotype algebras in the class of all dense epimorphisms [14] in with respect to the class of all differential homomorphisms into various C*-algebras with joined self-adjoined nilpotent elements: =.

  8. Function (computer programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Function_(computer...

    A function definition starts with the name of the type of value that it returns or void to indicate that it does not return a value. This is followed by the function name, formal arguments in parentheses, and body lines in braces. In C++, a function declared in a class (as non-static) is called a member function or method.

  9. Evolute - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolute

    The evolute of a curve (in this case, an ellipse) is the envelope of its normals. In the differential geometry of curves, the evolute of a curve is the locus of all its centers of curvature. That is to say that when the center of curvature of each point on a curve is drawn, the resultant shape will be the evolute of that curve.
