The name "seesaw" comes from the observation that it looks like a playground seesaw. Most commonly, four bonds to a central atom result in tetrahedral or, less commonly, square planar geometry. The seesaw geometry occurs when a molecule has a steric number of 5, with the central atom being bonded to 4 other atoms and 1 lone pair (AX 4 E 1 in ...
Variations on this problem include multiple links, allowing the motion of the cart to be commanded while maintaining the pendulum, and balancing the cart-pendulum system on a see-saw. The inverted pendulum is related to rocket or missile guidance, where the center of gravity is located behind the center of drag causing aerodynamic instability. [2]
In the theory of grand unification of particle physics, and, in particular, in theories of neutrino masses and neutrino oscillation, the seesaw mechanism is a generic model used to understand the relative sizes of observed neutrino masses, of the order of eV, compared to those of quarks and charged leptons, which are millions of times heavier.
For example, a seesaw, a crowbar, a pair of scissors, a balance scale, a pair of pliers, and a claw hammer (pulling a nail). With the fulcrum in the middle, the lever's mechanical advantage may be greater than, less than, or even equal to 1.
The output is the set of approximate solutions. For each pair of distinct equation terms (), the algorithm applies a scale transformation if needed, balances the selected terms by finding a function that solves the reduced equation and then determines if this function is consistent. If the function balances the terms and is consistent, the ...
In algebraic geometry, the seesaw theorem, or seesaw principle, says roughly that a limit of trivial line bundles over complete varieties is a trivial line bundle. It was introduced by André Weil in a course at the University of Chicago in 1954–1955, and is related to Severi's theory of correspondences.
These balance equations were first considered by Peter Whittle. [8] [9] The resulting equations are somewhere between detailed balance and global balance equations. Any solution to the local balance equations is always a solution to the global balance equations (we can recover the global balance equations by summing the relevant local balance ...
A difference equation is an equation where the unknown is a function f that occurs in the equation through f(x), f(x−1), ..., f(x−k), for some whole integer k called the order of the equation. If x is restricted to be an integer, a difference equation is the same as a recurrence relation
