  2. Consistent and inconsistent equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consistent_and...

    The system + =, + = has exactly one solution: x = 1, y = 2 The nonlinear system + =, + = has the two solutions (x, y) = (1, 0) and (x, y) = (0, 1), while + + =, + + =, + + = has an infinite number of solutions because the third equation is the first equation plus twice the second one and hence contains no independent information; thus any value of z can be chosen and values of x and y can be ...

  3. Identity function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Identity_function

    If f : X → Y is any function, then f ∘ id X = f = id Y ∘ f, where "∘" denotes function composition. [4] In particular, id X is the identity element of the monoid of all functions from X to X (under function composition). Since the identity element of a monoid is unique, [5] one can alternately define the identity function on M to

  4. Identity (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    Visual proof of the Pythagorean identity: for any angle , the point (,) = (⁡, ⁡) lies on the unit circle, which satisfies the equation + =.Thus, ⁡ + ⁡ =. In mathematics, an identity is an equality relating one mathematical expression A to another mathematical expression B, such that A and B (which might contain some variables) produce the same value for all values of the variables ...

  5. Identity theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Identity_theorem

    In real analysis and complex analysis, branches of mathematics, the identity theorem for analytic functions states: given functions f and g analytic on a domain D (open and connected subset of or ), if f = g on some , where has an accumulation point in D, then f = g on D.

  6. Invariants of tensors - Wikipedia

    which are functions of the principal invariants above. These are the coefficients of the characteristic polynomial of the deviator (() /), such that it is traceless. The separation of a tensor into a component that is a multiple of the identity and a traceless component is standard in hydrodynamics, where the former is called isotropic ...

  7. Homoscedasticity and heteroscedasticity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homoscedasticity_and...

    For any non-linear model (for instance Logit and Probit models), however, heteroscedasticity has more severe consequences: the maximum likelihood estimates (MLE) of the parameters will usually be biased, as well as inconsistent (unless the likelihood function is modified to correctly take into account the precise form of heteroscedasticity or ...

    It is inconsistent if it is not consistent. [ 67 ] [ 69 ] An inconsistent formula is also called self-contradictory , [ 1 ] and said to be a self-contradiction , [ 1 ] or simply a contradiction , [ 82 ] [ 83 ] [ 84 ] although this latter name is sometimes reserved specifically for statements of the form ( p ∧ ¬ p ) {\displaystyle (p\land ...

  9. Lambda calculus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambda_calculus

    The Church numeral n is a function that takes a function f as argument and returns the n-th composition of f, i.e. the function f composed with itself n times. This is denoted f (n) and is in fact the n-th power of f (considered as an operator); f (0) is defined to be the identity function.
