  2. Distortion (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distortion_(mathematics)

    In mathematics, the distortion is a measure of the amount by which a function from the Euclidean plane to itself distorts circles to ellipses. If the distortion of a function is equal to one, then it is conformal; if the distortion is bounded and the function is a homeomorphism, then it is quasiconformal. The distortion of a function ƒ of the ...

  3. Exposure to a vacuum, or experiencing all but the most extreme uncontrolled decompression, does not cause the body to explode or internal fluids to boil (although the fluids in the mouth and lungs will indeed boil at altitudes above the Armstrong limit); rather, it will lead to a loss of consciousness once the body has depleted the supply of ...

  4. Distortion problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distortion_problem

    In a separable Hilbert space, the distortion problem is equivalent to the question of whether there exist subsets of the unit sphere separated by a positive distance and yet intersect every infinite-dimensional closed subspace. Unlike many properties of Banach spaces, the distortion problem seems to be as difficult on Hilbert spaces as on other ...

  5. Distortion function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distortion_function

    A distortion function in mathematics and statistics, for example, : [,] [,], is a non-decreasing function such that () = and () =.The dual distortion function is ~ = (). [1] [2] Distortion functions are used to define distortion risk measures.

    Distortion occurs when the transfer function F is more complicated than this. If F is a linear function, for instance a filter whose gain and/or delay varies with frequency, the signal suffers linear distortion. Linear distortion does not introduce new frequency components to a signal but does alter the balance of existing ones.

    The 74 shares insights from math education experts about the societal tendency to classify kids as "bad" or "good" at the subject instead of normalizing accommodations and tutoring.

  8. Subgroup distortion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subgroup_distortion

    A normal abelian subgroup has distortion determined by the eigenvalues of the conjugation overgroup representation; formally, if g ∈ G acts on V ≤ G with eigenvalue λ, then V is at least exponentially distorted with base λ. For many non-normal but still abelian subgroups, the distortion of the normal core gives a strong lower bound. [1]
