In physics, Hooke's law is an empirical law which states that the force (F) needed to extend or compress a spring by some distance (x) scales linearly with respect to that distance—that is, F s = kx, where k is a constant factor characteristic of the spring (i.e., its stiffness), and x is small compared to the total possible deformation of the spring.
This is done so that f(x) can be computed in polynomial time, given the coin-toss sequence from the mapping, x, and f(y 1), ..., f(y k). Therefore, taking the average with respect to the induced distribution on y i , the average-case complexity of f is the same (within polynomial factors) as the worst-case randomized complexity of f .
In classical mechanics, a harmonic oscillator is a system that, when displaced from its equilibrium position, experiences a restoring force F proportional to the displacement x: =, where k is a positive constant. If F is the only force acting on the system, the system is called a simple harmonic oscillator, and it undergoes simple harmonic ...

The analytical method of separation of variables for solving partial differential equations has also been generalized into a computational method of decomposition in invariant structures that can be used to solve systems of partial differential equations. [1]
Since T K X is a linear operator, it makes sense to talk about its eigenvalues λ k and eigenfunctions e k, which are found solving the homogeneous Fredholm integral equation of the second kind ∫ a b K X ( s , t ) e k ( s ) d s = λ k e k ( t ) {\displaystyle \int _{a}^{b}K_{X}(s,t)e_{k}(s)\,ds=\lambda _{k}e_{k}(t)}
In the classical sense, if f(x) ∈ C k, and g(x) ∈ C k−1, then u(t, x) ∈ C k. However, the waveforms F and G may also be generalized functions, such as the delta-function. In that case, the solution may be interpreted as an impulse that travels to the right or the left.
De Moivre's formula is a precursor to Euler's formula = + , with x expressed in radians rather than degrees, which establishes the fundamental relationship between the trigonometric functions and the complex exponential function.
