  2. Meantone temperament - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meantone_temperament

    For 12 tone equally-tempered tuning, the fifths have to be tempered by considerably less than a ⁠ 1 / 4 ⁠ comma (very close to a ⁠ 1 / 11 ⁠ syntonic comma, or a ⁠ 1 / 12 ⁠ Pythagorean comma), since they must form a perfect cycle, with no gap at the end, whereas ⁠ 1 / 4 ⁠ comma meantone tuning, as mentioned above, has a residual ...

  3. Tempered representation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tempered_representation

    Any irreducible tempered representation is a basic representation, and conversely any basic representation is the sum of a finite number of irreducible tempered representations. More precisely, it is a direct sum of 2 r irreducible tempered representations indexed by the characters of an elementary abelian group R of order 2 r (called the R ...

  4. 12 equal temperament - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/12_equal_temperament

    12-tone equal temperament chromatic scale on C, one full octave ascending, notated only with sharps. Play ascending and descending ⓘ. 12 equal temperament (12-ET) [a] is the musical system that divides the octave into 12 parts, all of which are equally tempered (equally spaced) on a logarithmic scale, with a ratio equal to the 12th root of 2 (≈ 1.05946).

  5. Musical temperament - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musical_temperament

    Their solution, laid out by Pietro Aron in the early 16th century, was a series of tunings referred to as meantone temperaments, which temper the interval of a perfect fifth slightly flatter than in just intonation, and then proceed much like Pythagorean tuning, but using tempered fifths instead of the just fifths. With the correct amount of ...

  6. Equal temperament - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equal_temperament

    12 tone equal temperament chromatic scale on C, one full octave ascending, notated only with sharps. Play ascending and descending ⓘ. An equal temperament is a musical temperament or tuning system that approximates just intervals by dividing an octave (or other interval) into steps such that the ratio of the frequencies of any adjacent pair of notes is the same.

  7. Spaces of test functions and distributions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spaces_of_test_functions...

    No matter what dual topology is placed on ′ (), [note 13] a sequence of distributions converges in this topology if and only if it converges pointwise (although this need not be true of a net). No matter which topology is chosen, D ′ ( U ) {\displaystyle {\mathcal {D}}^{\prime }(U)} will be a non- metrizable , locally convex topological ...

    These identities also hold much more broadly in the sense of tempered distributions if one of f or g is a rapidly decreasing tempered distribution, a compactly supported tempered distribution or a Schwartz function and the other is a tempered distribution. On the other hand, two positive integrable and infinitely differentiable functions may ...

    An example application of the Fourier transform is determining the constituent pitches in a musical waveform.This image is the result of applying a constant-Q transform (a Fourier-related transform) to the waveform of a C major piano chord.
