  2. Scaling (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scaling_(geometry)

    In uniform scaling with a non-zero scale factor, all non-zero vectors retain their direction (as seen from the origin), or all have the direction reversed, depending on the sign of the scaling factor. In non-uniform scaling only the vectors that belong to an eigenspace will retain their direction. A vector that is the sum of two or more non ...

  3. Conformal linear transformation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conformal_linear...

    When composing multiple linear transformations, it is possible to create a shear/skew by composing a parent transform with a non-uniform scale, and a child transform with a rotation. Therefore, in situations where shear/skew is not allowed, transformation matrices must also have uniform scale in order to prevent a shear/skew from appearing as ...

  4. Multidimensional scaling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multidimensional_scaling

    It is also known as Principal Coordinates Analysis (PCoA), Torgerson Scaling or Torgerson–Gower scaling. It takes an input matrix giving dissimilarities between pairs of items and outputs a coordinate matrix whose configuration minimizes a loss function called strain, [2] which is given by (,,...,) = (, (),) /, where denote vectors in N-dimensional space, denotes the scalar product between ...

  5. Nonlinear dimensionality reduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonlinear_dimensionality...

    Related to autoencoders is the NeuroScale algorithm, which uses stress functions inspired by multidimensional scaling and Sammon mappings (see above) to learn a non-linear mapping from the high-dimensional to the embedded space.

  6. Dirac delta function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirac_delta_function

    In mathematical analysis, the Dirac delta function (or δ distribution), also known as the unit impulse, [1] is a generalized function on the real numbers, whose value is zero everywhere except at zero, and whose integral over the entire real line is equal to one. [2] [3] [4] Thus it can be represented heuristically as

  7. Non-dimensionalization and scaling of the Navier–Stokes ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-dimensionalization_and...

    Scaling of Navier–Stokes equation refers to the process of selecting the proper spatial scales – for a certain type of flow – to be used in the non-dimensionalization of the equation. Since the resulting equations need to be dimensionless, a suitable combination of parameters and constants of the equations and flow (domain ...

  8. Cubic function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubic_function

    This similarity can be built as the composition of translations parallel to the coordinates axes, a homothecy (uniform scaling), and, possibly, a reflection (mirror image) with respect to the y-axis. A further non-uniform scaling can transform the graph into the graph of one among the three cubic functions
