  2. Contract curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contract_curve

    In the case of two goods and two individuals, the contract curve can be found as follows. Here refers to the final amount of good 2 allocated to person 1, etc., and refer to the final levels of utility experienced by person 1 and person 2 respectively, refers to the level of utility that person 2 would receive from the initial allocation without trading at all, and and refer to the fixed total ...

  3. Indifference curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indifference_curve

    The substitution effect is reinforced through the income effect of lower real income (Beattie-LaFrance). An example of a utility function that generates indifference curves of this kind is the Cobb–Douglas function U ( x , y ) = x α y 1 − α , 0 ≤ α ≤ 1 {\displaystyle \scriptstyle U\left(x,y\right)=x^{\alpha }y^{1-\alpha },0\leq ...

  4. Graph of a function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graph_of_a_function

    Given a function: from a set X (the domain) to a set Y (the codomain), the graph of the function is the set [4] = {(, ()):}, which is a subset of the Cartesian product.In the definition of a function in terms of set theory, it is common to identify a function with its graph, although, formally, a function is formed by the triple consisting of its domain, its codomain and its graph.

  5. Quadratic function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratic_function

    The graph of a real single-variable quadratic function is a parabola. If a quadratic function is equated with zero, then the result is a quadratic equation . The solutions of a quadratic equation are the zeros (or roots ) of the corresponding quadratic function, of which there can be two, one, or zero.

  6. Income–consumption curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Income–consumption_curve

    In figure 3, the income–consumption curve bends back on itself as with an increase income, the consumer demands more of X 2 and less of X 1. [3] The income–consumption curve in this case is negatively sloped and the income elasticity of demand will be negative. [4] Also the price effect for X 2 is positive, while it is negative for X 1. [3]

  7. Spacetime diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spacetime_diagram

    A spacetime diagram is a graphical illustration of locations in space at various times, especially in the special theory of relativity.Spacetime diagrams can show the geometry underlying phenomena like time dilation and length contraction without mathematical equations.

  8. BEST theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BEST_theorem

    The BEST theorem is due to van Aardenne-Ehrenfest and de Bruijn (1951), [4] §6, Theorem 6. Their proof is bijective and generalizes the de Bruijn sequences.In a "note added in proof", they refer to an earlier result by Smith and Tutte (1941) which proves the formula for graphs with deg(v)=2 at every vertex.

  9. The Elephant Curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Elephant_Curve

    The Elephant Curve, also known as the Lakner-Milanovic graph or the global growth incidence curve, is a graph that illustrates the unequal distribution of income growth for individuals belonging to different income groups. [1] The original graph was published in 2013 and illustrates the change in income growth that occurred from 1988 to 2008.
