  2. Martin Huxley - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Huxley

    Martin Huxley. Martin Neil Huxley FLSW (born in 1944) is a British mathematician, working in the field of analytic number theory. He was awarded a PhD from the University of Cambridge in 1970, the year after his supervisor Harold Davenport had died. He is a professor at Cardiff University. Huxley proved a result on gaps between prime numbers ...

  3. Antisymmetric relation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antisymmetric_relation

    The usual order relation on the real numbers is antisymmetric: if for two real numbers and both inequalities and hold, then and must be equal. Similarly, the subset order on the subsets of any given set is antisymmetric: given two sets and if every element in also is in and every element in is also in then and must contain all the same elements ...

  4. Covariance and correlation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Covariance_and_correlation

    where E is the expected value operator. Notably, correlation is dimensionless while covariance is in units obtained by multiplying the units of the two variables. If Y always takes on the same values as X, we have the covariance of a variable with itself (i.e. ), which is called the variance and is more commonly denoted as the square of the ...

  5. Darwin (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darwin_(unit)

    Since the difference between two natural logarithms is a dimensionless ratio, the trait may be measured in any unit. Inexplicably, Haldane defined the millidarwin as 10 −9 darwins, despite the fact that the prefix milli- usually denotes a factor of one thousandth (10 −3 ).

  6. H-infinity methods in control theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H-infinity_methods_in...

    The achievable H ∞ norm of the closed loop system is mainly given through the matrix D 11 (when the system P is given in the form (A, B 1, B 2, C 1, C 2, D 11, D 12, D 22, D 21)). There are several ways to come to an H ∞ controller: A Youla-Kucera parametrization of the closed loop often leads to very high-order controller.

  7. Counting measure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counting_measure

    Counting measure. In mathematics, specifically measure theory, the counting measure is an intuitive way to put a measure on any set – the "size" of a subset is taken to be the number of elements in the subset if the subset has finitely many elements, and infinity if the subset is infinite. [1]

  8. Periodic point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periodic_point

    For r between 1 and 3, the value 0 is still periodic but is not attracting, while the value is an attracting periodic point of period 1. With r greater than 3 but less than ⁠ 1 + 6 , {\displaystyle 1+{\sqrt {6}},} ⁠ there are a pair of period-2 points which together form an attracting sequence, as well as the non-attracting period-1 points ...

  9. Antipodal point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antipodal_point

    The concept of antipodal points is generalized to spheres of any dimension: two points on the sphere are antipodal if they are opposite through the centre. Each line through the centre intersects the sphere in two points, one for each ray emanating from the centre, and these two points are antipodal. The Borsuk–Ulam theorem is a result from ...
