  2. Big O in probability notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_O_in_probability_notation

    The order in probability notation is used in probability theory and statistical theory in direct parallel to the big-O notation that is standard in mathematics.Where the big-O notation deals with the convergence of sequences or sets of ordinary numbers, the order in probability notation deals with convergence of sets of random variables, where convergence is in the sense of convergence in ...

  3. Covariance and correlation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Covariance_and_correlation

    where E is the expected value operator. Notably, correlation is dimensionless while covariance is in units obtained by multiplying the units of the two variables. If Y always takes on the same values as X, we have the covariance of a variable with itself (i.e. ), which is called the variance and is more commonly denoted as the square of the ...

  4. Predicate (mathematical logic) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Predicate_(mathematical_logic)

    A predicate is a statement or mathematical assertion that contains variables, sometimes referred to as predicate variables, and may be true or false depending on those variables’ value or values. In propositional logic, atomic formulas are sometimes regarded as zero-place predicates. [1] In a sense, these are nullary (i.e. 0- arity) predicates.

  5. Change of base - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Change_of_base

    In mathematics, change of base can mean any of several things: Changing numeral bases, such as converting from base 2 (binary) to base 10 (decimal). This is known as base conversion. The logarithmic change-of-base formula, one of the logarithmic identities used frequently in algebra and calculus. The method for changing between polynomial and ...

  6. Affine combination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affine_combination

    Affine combination. In mathematics, an affine combination of x1, ..., xn is a linear combination. such that. Here, x1, ..., xn can be elements (vectors) of a vector space over a field K, and the coefficients are elements of K. The elements x1, ..., xn can also be points of a Euclidean space, and, more generally, of an affine space over a field K.

  7. H-infinity methods in control theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H-infinity_methods_in...

    The achievable H ∞ norm of the closed loop system is mainly given through the matrix D 11 (when the system P is given in the form (A, B 1, B 2, C 1, C 2, D 11, D 12, D 22, D 21)). There are several ways to come to an H ∞ controller: A Youla-Kucera parametrization of the closed loop often leads to very high-order controller.

  8. Quarter period - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quarter_period

    Quarter period. In mathematics, the quarter periods K ( m) and i K ′ ( m) are special functions that appear in the theory of elliptic functions . The quarter periods K and i K ′ are given by. and. When m is a real number, 0 < m < 1, then both K and K ′ are real numbers. By convention, K is called the real quarter period and i K ′ is ...

  9. Heilbronn set - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heilbronn_set

    Heilbronn set. In mathematics, a Heilbronn set is an infinite set S of natural numbers for which every real number can be arbitrarily closely approximated by a fraction whose denominator is in S. For any given real number and natural number , it is easy to find the integer such that is closest to . For example, for the real number and we have .
