  2. Hyperbolic growth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbolic_growth

    Another example of hyperbolic growth can be found in queueing theory: the average waiting time of randomly arriving customers grows hyperbolically as a function of the average load ratio of the server. The singularity in this case occurs when the average amount of work arriving to the server equals the server's processing capacity.

  3. Hyperbolic group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbolic_group

    An interesting example is the modular group = (): it acts on the tree given by the 1-skeleton of the associated tessellation of the hyperbolic plane and it has a finite index free subgroup (on two generators) of index 6 (for example the set of matrices in which reduce to the identity modulo 2 is such a group).

  4. Hyperbolastic functions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbolastic_functions

    This model allows for much more variation and has been proven to better predict growth." [12] The hyperbolastic growth models H1, H2, and H3 have been applied to analyze the growth of solid Ehrlich carcinoma using a variety of treatments. [13] In animal science, [14] the hyperbolastic functions have been used for modeling broiler chicken growth.

  5. The Infinite Game - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Infinite_Game

    The Infinite Mindset narrates why companies like Blockbuster which were once significant players in Industry, couldn't adapt even after seeing companies like Netflix grow. [4] Many such examples and stories at various points in the book emphasize the importance of Infinite Mindset, which allows companies to think better and survive infinitely.

  6. Time preference - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_preference

    For example, say you were offered $50, but if you forego it, your friend gets $60. What about your friend being offered $100. The point at which you forego the money is the social discount rate. Generally, this type of discounting resembles a hyperbolic curve as well. Probability discounting takes the same form, but with risk.

  7. Present bias - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Present_bias

    Present bias is the tendency to settle for a smaller present reward rather than wait for a larger future reward, in a trade-off situation. [1] [2] It describes the trend of overvaluing immediate rewards, while putting less worth in long-term consequences. [3]

  8. Geometric group theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometric_group_theory

    A particularly important development here is the work of Zlil Sela in 1990s resulting in the solution of the isomorphism problem for word-hyperbolic groups. [20] The notion of a relatively hyperbolic groups was originally introduced by Gromov in 1987 [8] and refined by Farb [21] and Brian Bowditch, [22] in the 1990s. The study of relatively ...

  9. Grit (personality trait) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grit_(personality_trait)

    Individuals with higher levels of grit are able to bounce back from set backs more quickly due to a positive mindset. Grit highlights perseverance in working towards life long goals. These individuals tend to experience more success and demonstrate a more sustained effort over longer periods of time.
