  2. Absolute value (algebra) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolute_value_(algebra)

    The standard absolute value on the integers. The standard absolute value on the complex numbers.; The p-adic absolute value on the rational numbers.; If R is the field of rational functions over a field F and () is a fixed irreducible polynomial over F, then the following defines an absolute value on R: for () in R define | | to be , where () = () and ((), ()) = = ((), ()).

  3. Absolute value - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolute_value

    The real absolute value function is an example of a continuous function that achieves a global minimum where the derivative does not exist. The subdifferential of | x | at x = 0 is the interval [−1, 1]. [14] The complex absolute value function is continuous everywhere but complex differentiable nowhere because it violates the Cauchy–Riemann ...

  4. Convex conjugate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convex_conjugate

    In mathematics and mathematical optimization, the convex conjugate of a function is a generalization of the Legendre transformation which applies to non-convex functions. It is also known as Legendre–Fenchel transformation, Fenchel transformation, or Fenchel conjugate (after Adrien-Marie Legendre and Werner Fenchel).

  5. Complex number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complex_number

    For given real functions representing actual physical quantities, often in terms of sines and cosines, corresponding complex functions are considered of which the real parts are the original quantities. For a sine wave of a given frequency, the absolute value |z| of the corresponding z is the amplitude and the argument arg z is the phase.

  6. Legendre transformation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legendre_transformation

    The function () is defined on the interval [,].For a given , the difference () takes the maximum at ′.Thus, the Legendre transformation of () is () = ′ (′).. In mathematics, the Legendre transformation (or Legendre transform), first introduced by Adrien-Marie Legendre in 1787 when studying the minimal surface problem, [1] is an involutive transformation on real-valued functions that are ...

  7. Jacobian matrix and determinant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacobian_matrix_and...

    The absolute value of the Jacobian determinant at p gives us the factor by which the function f expands or shrinks volumes near p; this is why it occurs in the general substitution rule. The Jacobian determinant is used when making a change of variables when evaluating a multiple integral of a function over a region within its domain. To ...

  9. Change of variables - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Change_of_variables

    The map is called a regular coordinate transformation or regular variable substitution, where regular refers to the -ness of . Usually one will write x = Φ ( y ) {\displaystyle x=\Phi (y)} to indicate the replacement of the variable x {\displaystyle x} by the variable y {\displaystyle y} by substituting the value of Φ {\displaystyle \Phi } in ...
