  2. Joint probability distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joint_probability_distribution

    One must use the "mixed" joint density when finding the cumulative distribution of this binary outcome because the input variables (,) were initially defined in such a way that one could not collectively assign it either a probability density function or a probability mass function.

  3. Euler–Lagrange equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler–Lagrange_equation

    In the calculus of variations and classical mechanics, the Euler–Lagrange equations[1] are a system of second-order ordinary differential equations whose solutions are stationary points of the given action functional. The equations were discovered in the 1750s by Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler and Italian mathematician Joseph-Louis Lagrange.

    At the other extreme, if is a deterministic function of and is a deterministic function of then all information conveyed by is shared with : knowing determines the value of and vice versa. As a result, the mutual information is the same as the uncertainty contained in Y {\displaystyle Y} (or X {\displaystyle X} ) alone, namely the entropy of Y ...

  5. Lagrangian mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lagrangian_mechanics

    The central quantity of Lagrangian mechanics is the Lagrangian, a function which summarizes the dynamics of the entire system. Overall, the Lagrangian has units of energy, but no single expression for all physical systems. Any function which generates the correct equations of motion, in agreement with physical laws, can be taken as a Lagrangian.

  6. Adjoint representation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adjoint_representation

    t. e. In mathematics, the adjoint representation (or adjoint action) of a Lie group G is a way of representing the elements of the group as linear transformations of the group's Lie algebra, considered as a vector space. For example, if G is , the Lie group of real n -by- n invertible matrices, then the adjoint representation is the group ...

  7. Representation of a Lie group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Representation_of_a_Lie_group

    A typical example in which representations arise in physics would be the study of a linear partial differential equation having symmetry group . Although the individual solutions of the equation may not be invariant under the action of G {\displaystyle G} , the space V {\displaystyle V} of all solutions is invariant under the action of G ...

  8. Hilbert space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilbert_space

    Hilbert spaces arise naturally and frequently in mathematics and physics, typically as function spaces. Formally, a Hilbert space is a vector space equipped with an inner product that induces a distance function for which the space is a complete metric space. A Hilbert space is a special case of a Banach space.

  9. Forward kinematics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forward_kinematics

    In robot kinematics, forward kinematics refers to the use of the kinematic equations of a robot to compute the position of the end-effector from specified values for the joint parameters. [1] The kinematics equations of the robot are used in robotics, computer games, and animation. The reverse process, that computes the joint parameters that ...
