  2. Interchange of limiting operations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interchange_of_limiting...

    Examples abound, one of the simplest being that for a double sequence a m,n: it is not necessarily the case that the operations of taking the limits as m → ∞ and as n → ∞ can be freely interchanged. [4] For example take a m,n = 2 m − n. in which taking the limit first with respect to n gives 0, and with respect to m gives ∞.

  3. Rate-determining step - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rate-determining_step

    In fact, however, the observed reaction rate is second-order in NO 2 and zero-order in CO, [5] with rate equation r = k[NO 2] 2. This suggests that the rate is determined by a step in which two NO 2 molecules react, with the CO molecule entering at another, faster, step. A possible mechanism in two elementary steps that explains the rate ...

  4. Infinite impulse response - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinite_impulse_response

    Infinite impulse response (IIR) is a property applying to many linear time-invariant systems that are distinguished by having an impulse response that does not become exactly zero past a certain point but continues indefinitely.

  5. Free-energy relationship - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free-energy_relationship

    The Hammett equation predicts the equilibrium constant or reaction rate of a reaction from a substituent constant and a reaction type constant. The Edwards equation relates the nucleophilic power to polarisability and basicity. The Marcus equation is an example of a quadratic free-energy relationship (QFER). [citation needed]

  6. Limit cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limit_cycle

    Stable limit cycle (shown in bold) and two other trajectories spiraling into it Stable limit cycle (shown in bold) for the Van der Pol oscillator. In mathematics, in the study of dynamical systems with two-dimensional phase space, a limit cycle is a closed trajectory in phase space having the property that at least one other trajectory spirals into it either as time approaches infinity or as ...

  7. Impulse (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impulse_(physics)

    In the case of rockets, the impulse imparted can be normalized by unit of propellant expended, to create a performance parameter, specific impulse. This fact can be used to derive the Tsiolkovsky rocket equation , which relates the vehicle's propulsive change in velocity to the engine's specific impulse (or nozzle exhaust velocity) and the ...

  8. Curtin–Hammett principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curtin–Hammett_principle

    The Curtin–Hammett principle is a principle in chemical kinetics proposed by David Yarrow Curtin and Louis Plack Hammett.It states that, for a reaction that has a pair of reactive intermediates or reactants that interconvert rapidly (as is usually the case for conformational isomers), each going irreversibly to a different product, the product ratio will depend both on the difference in ...

  9. Transfer function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transfer_function

    The steady-state response is the output of the system in the limit of infinite time, and the transient response is the difference between the response and the steady-state response; it corresponds to the homogeneous solution of the differential equation. The transfer function for an LTI system may be written as the product:
