  2. Logarithmic scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logarithmic_scale

    Semi-log plot of the Internet host count over time shown on a logarithmic scale. A logarithmic scale (or log scale) is a method used to display numerical data that spans a broad range of values, especially when there are significant differences between the magnitudes of the numbers involved.

  3. Iterated logarithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iterated_logarithm

    In computer science, the iterated logarithm of , written log * (usually read "log star"), is the number of times the logarithm function must be iteratively applied before the result is less than or equal to . [1] The simplest formal definition is the result of this recurrence relation:

  4. Logarithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logarithm

    As a consequence, log b (x) diverges to infinity (gets bigger than any given number) if x grows to infinity, provided that b is greater than one. In that case, log b (x) is an increasing function. For b < 1, log b (x) tends to minus infinity instead. When x approaches zero, log b x goes to minus infinity for b > 1 (plus infinity for b < 1 ...

  5. Discrete logarithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discrete_logarithm

    In mathematics, for given real numbers a and b, the logarithm log b a is a number x such that b x = a.Analogously, in any group G, powers b k can be defined for all integers k, and the discrete logarithm log b a is an integer k such that b k = a.

    It’s time to reconsider retiring on Social Security alone, especially if you’re one-half of a married couple. New data from GOBankingRates shows that across 50 major U.S. cities this income ...

  7. L (complexity) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L_(complexity)

    L is a subclass of NL, which is the class of languages decidable in logarithmic space on a nondeterministic Turing machine.A problem in NL may be transformed into a problem of reachability in a directed graph representing states and state transitions of the nondeterministic machine, and the logarithmic space bound implies that this graph has a polynomial number of vertices and edges, from ...

    Research by the U.S. Department of Justice suggests that fewer than half of all sexual assaults are reported to the police. The number has increased in recent years, but shame has a long way to go ...

  9. Log probability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Log_probability

    Log probabilities make some mathematical manipulations easier to perform. Optimization. Since most common probability distributions —notably the exponential family —are only logarithmically concave , [ 2 ] [ 3 ] and concavity of the objective function plays a key role in the maximization of a function such as probability, optimizers work ...
