  2. Implicit function theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Implicit_function_theorem

    The unit circle can be specified as the level curve f(x, y) = 1 of the function f(x, y) = x 2 + y 2.Around point A, y can be expressed as a function y(x).In this example this function can be written explicitly as () =; in many cases no such explicit expression exists, but one can still refer to the implicit function y(x).

  3. Implicit function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Implicit_function

    An implicit function is a function that is defined by an implicit equation, that relates one of the variables, considered as the value of the function, with the others considered as the arguments. [ 1 ] : 204–206 For example, the equation x 2 + y 2 − 1 = 0 {\displaystyle x^{2}+y^{2}-1=0} of the unit circle defines y as an implicit function ...

  4. Implicit curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Implicit_curve

    The implicit function theorem describes conditions under which an equation (,) = can be solved implicitly for x and/or y – that is, under which one can validly write = or = (). This theorem is the key for the computation of essential geometric features of the curve: tangents , normals , and curvature .

  5. Glossary of calculus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_calculus

    An implicit function is a function that is defined implicitly by an implicit equation, by associating one of the variables (the value) with the others (the arguments). [ 56 ] : 204–206 Thus, an implicit function for y {\displaystyle y} in the context of the unit circle is defined implicitly by x 2 + f ( x ) 2 − 1 = 0 {\displaystyle x^{2}+f ...

  6. Nash embedding theorems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nash_embedding_theorems

    The Nash embedding theorem is a global theorem in the sense that the whole manifold is embedded into R n. A local embedding theorem is much simpler and can be proved using the implicit function theorem of advanced calculus in a coordinate neighborhood of the manifold. The proof of the global embedding theorem relies on Nash's implicit function ...

  7. Gaussian curvature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaussian_curvature

    They measure how the surface bends by different amounts in different directions from that point. We represent the surface by the implicit function theorem as the graph of a function, f, of two variables, in such a way that the point p is a critical point, that is, the gradient of f vanishes (this can always be attained by a suitable rigid motion).

    One example of how explicit and implicit memory works together is driving a car. “At once, we must remember the directions (explicit) of where we are headed while also remembering how to drive ...

  9. Newton's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_method

    For example, the function f(x) = x 20 − 1 has a root at 1. Since f ′(1) ≠ 0 and f is smooth, it is known that any Newton iteration convergent to 1 will converge quadratically. However, if initialized at 0.5, the first few iterates of Newton's method are approximately 26214, 24904, 23658, 22476, decreasing slowly, with only the 200th ...
