  2. Percolation theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percolation_theory

    The Flory–Stockmayer theory was the first theory investigating percolation processes. [2] The history of the percolation model as we know it has its root in the coal industry. Since the industrial revolution, the economical importance of this source of energy fostered many scientific studies to understand its composition and optimize its use.

  3. Stable distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stable_distribution

    The stable distribution family is also sometimes referred to as the Lévy alpha-stable distribution, after Paul Lévy, the first mathematician to have studied it. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Of the four parameters defining the family, most attention has been focused on the stability parameter, α {\displaystyle \alpha } (see panel).

  4. Logistic map - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logistic_map

    Stable periodic point: In this case, the Lyapunov exponent is negative. Aperiodic orbits: In this case, the Lyapunov exponent is positive. The region of stable periodic points that exists for r < is called a periodic window, or simply a window. If one looks at a chaotic region in an orbital diagram, the region of nonperiodic orbits looks like a ...

  5. Diffusion process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffusion_process

    It is used heavily in statistical physics, statistical analysis, information theory, data science, neural networks, finance and marketing. A sample path of a diffusion process models the trajectory of a particle embedded in a flowing fluid and subjected to random displacements due to collisions with other particles, which is called Brownian motion.

  6. Convection–diffusion equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convection–diffusion...

    The convection–diffusion equation can be derived in a straightforward way [4] from the continuity equation, which states that the rate of change for a scalar quantity in a differential control volume is given by flow and diffusion into and out of that part of the system along with any generation or consumption inside the control volume: + =, where j is the total flux and R is a net ...

  7. Stable curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stable_curve

    A semi-stable curve is one satisfying similar conditions, except that the automorphism group is allowed to be reductive rather than finite (or equivalently its connected component may be a torus). Alternatively the condition that non-singular rational components meet the other components in at least three points is replaced by the condition ...

  8. Reaction–diffusion system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reaction–diffusion_system

    Reaction–diffusion systems are naturally applied in chemistry. However, the system can also describe dynamical processes of non-chemical nature. Examples are found in biology, geology and physics (neutron diffusion theory) and ecology. Mathematically, reaction–diffusion systems take the form of semi-linear parabolic partial differential ...

  9. Diffusion map - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffusion_map

    Diffusion maps exploit the relationship between heat diffusion and random walk Markov chain.The basic observation is that if we take a random walk on the data, walking to a nearby data-point is more likely than walking to another that is far away.
