  2. Successor function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Successor_function

    The successor function is part of the formal language used to state the Peano axioms, which formalise the structure of the natural numbers.In this formalisation, the successor function is a primitive operation on the natural numbers, in terms of which the standard natural numbers and addition are defined.

  3. Stereocenter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereocenter

    This means that although all chirality centers are stereocenters, not every stereocenter is a chirality center. Stereocenters are important identifiers for chiral or achiral molecules. As a general rule, if a molecule has no stereocenters, it is considered achiral. If it has at least one stereocenter, the molecule has the potential for chirality.

  4. SN2 reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SN2_reaction

    Competition experiment between SN2 and E2. With ethyl bromide, the reaction product is predominantly the substitution product. As steric hindrance around the electrophilic center increases, as with isobutyl bromide, substitution is disfavored and elimination is the predominant reaction. Other factors favoring elimination are the strength of the ...

  5. Correlation function (quantum field theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correlation_function...

    All other off-shell contributions from the correlation function vanish. After integrating the resulting delta functions, what will remain of the LSZ reduction formula is merely a Fourier transformation operation where the integration is over the internal point positions that the external leg propagators were attached to. In this form the ...

  6. Wannier function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wannier_function

    In practice, this is usually the maximally-localized set, in which the Wannier function ϕ R is localized around the point R and rapidly goes to zero away from R. For the one-dimensional case, it has been proved by Kohn [ 6 ] that there is always a unique choice that gives these properties (subject to certain symmetries).

  7. Möbius transformation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Möbius_transformation

    The existence of the inverse Möbius transformation and its explicit formula are easily derived by the composition of the inverse functions of the simpler transformations. That is, define functions g 1 , g 2 , g 3 , g 4 such that each g i is the inverse of f i .

  8. Deconvolution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deconvolution

    The function g represents the impulse response of an instrument or a driving force that was applied to a physical system. If we know g, or at least know the form of g, then we can perform deterministic deconvolution. However, if we do not know g in advance, then we need to estimate it.

  9. Solenoidal vector field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solenoidal_vector_field

    The condition of zero divergence is satisfied whenever a vector field v has only a vector potential component, because the definition of the vector potential A as: = automatically results in the identity (as can be shown, for example, using Cartesian coordinates): = =
