  2. Box counting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Box_counting

    Figure 1. A 32-segment quadric fractal viewed through "boxes" of different sizes. The pattern illustrates self similarity.. Box counting is a method of gathering data for analyzing complex patterns by breaking a dataset, object, image, etc. into smaller and smaller pieces, typically "box"-shaped, and analyzing the pieces at each smaller scale.

  3. Minkowski–Bouligand dimension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minkowski–Bouligand...

    Examples of ball packing, ball covering, and box covering. It is possible to define the box dimensions using balls, with either the covering number or the packing number. The covering number () is the minimal number of open balls of radius required to cover the fractal, or in other words, such that their union contains the fractal.

    Length-prefixed "short" Strings (up to 64 bytes), marker-terminated "long" Strings and (optional) back-references Arbitrary-length heterogenous arrays with end-marker Arbitrary-length key/value pairs with end-marker Structured Data eXchange Formats (SDXF) Big-endian signed 24-bit or 32-bit integer Big-endian IEEE double

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MATLAB

    MATLAB (an abbreviation of "MATrix LABoratory" [22]) is a proprietary multi-paradigm programming language and numeric computing environment developed by MathWorks.MATLAB allows matrix manipulations, plotting of functions and data, implementation of algorithms, creation of user interfaces, and interfacing with programs written in other languages.

  6. Polyakov action - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyakov_action

    In physics, the Polyakov action is an action of the two-dimensional conformal field theory describing the worldsheet of a string in string theory.It was introduced by Stanley Deser and Bruno Zumino and independently by L. Brink, P. Di Vecchia and P. S. Howe in 1976, [1] [2] and has become associated with Alexander Polyakov after he made use of it in quantizing the string in 1981. [3]

  7. Digital data - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_data

    Digital clock.The time shown by the digits on the face at any instant is digital data. The actual precise time is analog data. Digital data, in information theory and information systems, is information represented as a string of discrete symbols, each of which can take on one of only a finite number of values from some alphabet, such as letters or digits.

  8. Function (computer programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Function_(computer...

    For an object, semantics can confuse programmers since an object is always treated as a reference. Passing an object ByVal copies the reference; not the state of the object. The called procedure can modify the state of the object via its methods yet cannot modify the object reference of the actual parameter.

  9. Pole figure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pole_figure

    The structure of a crystal is often represented by the pole figure of its crystallographic planes. A plane is chosen as the equator, usually the (001) or (011) plane; its pole is the center of the figure. Then, the poles of the other planes are placed on the figure, with the Miller indices for each pole. The poles that belong to a zone are ...
