  2. Langlands program - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Langlands_program

    Langlands program. In representation theory and algebraic number theory, the Langlands program is a web of far-reaching and consequential conjectures about connections between number theory and geometry. Proposed by Robert Langlands (1967, 1970), it seeks to relate Galois groups in algebraic number theory to automorphic forms and representation ...

    At the other extreme, if is a deterministic function of and is a deterministic function of then all information conveyed by is shared with : knowing determines the value of and vice versa. As a result, the mutual information is the same as the uncertainty contained in Y {\displaystyle Y} (or X {\displaystyle X} ) alone, namely the entropy of Y ...

  4. Joint probability distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joint_probability_distribution

    t. e. Given two random variables that are defined on the same probability space, [ 1 ] the joint probability distribution is the corresponding probability distribution on all possible pairs of outputs. The joint distribution can just as well be considered for any given number of random variables. The joint distribution encodes the marginal ...

  5. Rodrigues' rotation formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rodrigues'_rotation_formula

    Rodrigues' rotation formula. In the theory of three-dimensional rotation, Rodrigues' rotation formula, named after Olinde Rodrigues, is an efficient algorithm for rotating a vector in space, given an axis and angle of rotation. By extension, this can be used to transform all three basis vectors to compute a rotation matrix in SO (3), the group ...

  6. Forward kinematics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forward_kinematics

    In robot kinematics, forward kinematics refers to the use of the kinematic equations of a robot to compute the position of the end-effector from specified values for the joint parameters. [1] The kinematics equations of the robot are used in robotics, computer games, and animation. The reverse process, that computes the joint parameters that ...

  7. Bell's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell's_theorem

    Bell's theorem is a term encompassing a number of closely related results in physics, all of which determine that quantum mechanics is incompatible with local hidden-variable theories, given some basic assumptions about the nature of measurement.

  8. Euler–Lagrange equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler–Lagrange_equation

    In the calculus of variations and classical mechanics, the Euler–Lagrange equations[1] are a system of second-order ordinary differential equations whose solutions are stationary points of the given action functional. The equations were discovered in the 1750s by Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler and Italian mathematician Joseph-Louis Lagrange.

  9. Ideal chain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ideal_chain

    A quantity frequently used in polymer physics is the radius of gyration: = It is worth noting that the above average end-to-end distance, which in the case of this simple model is also the typical amplitude of the system's fluctuations, becomes negligible compared to the total unfolded length of the polymer N l {\displaystyle N\,l} at the ...
