  2. Asymptote - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asymptote

    If y=c is a horizontal asymptote of f(x), then y=c+k is a horizontal asymptote of f(x)+k; If a known function has an asymptote, then the scaling of the function also have an asymptote. If y=ax+b is an asymptote of f(x), then y=cax+cb is an asymptote of cf(x) For example, f(x)=e x-1 +2 has horizontal asymptote y=0+2=2, and no vertical or oblique ...

  3. Sigmoid function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sigmoid_function

    A sigmoid function is constrained by a pair of horizontal asymptotes as . A sigmoid function is convex for values less than a particular point, and it is concave for values greater than that point: in many of the examples here, that point is 0.

  4. Truncus (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    The basic truncus y = 1 / x 2 has asymptotes at x = 0 and y = 0, and every other truncus can be obtained from this one through a combination of translations and dilations. For the general truncus form above, the constant a dilates the graph by a factor of a from the x -axis; that is, the graph is stretched vertically when a > 1 and compressed ...

  5. Asymptotic analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asymptotic_analysis

    Asymptotic analysis is a key tool for exploring the ordinary and partial differential equations which arise in the mathematical modelling of real-world phenomena. [3] An illustrative example is the derivation of the boundary layer equations from the full Navier-Stokes equations governing fluid flow.

  6. Tractrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tractrix

    The area between the tractrix and its asymptote is ⁠ π a 2 / 2 ⁠, which can be found using integration or Mamikon's theorem. The envelope of the normals of the tractrix (that is, the evolute of the tractrix) is the catenary (or chain curve) given by y = a cosh ⁠ x / a ⁠.

  7. Generalised logistic function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generalised_logistic_function

    Richards's curve has the following form: = + (+) /where = weight, height, size etc., and = time. It has six parameters: : the left horizontal asymptote;: the right horizontal asymptote when =.

  8. Method of matched asymptotic expansions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_of_matched...

    In mathematics, the method of matched asymptotic expansions [1] is a common approach to finding an accurate approximation to the solution to an equation, or system of equations. It is particularly used when solving singularly perturbed differential equations. It involves finding several different approximate solutions, each of which is valid (i ...

  9. Folium of Descartes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folium_of_Descartes

    The folium of Descartes (green) with asymptote (blue) when = In geometry , the folium of Descartes (from Latin folium ' leaf '; named for René Descartes ) is an algebraic curve defined by the implicit equation x 3 + y 3 − 3 a x y = 0. {\displaystyle x^{3}+y^{3}-3axy=0.}
