  2. Geometric mean - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometric_mean

    The average percentage growth is the geometric mean of the annual growth ratios (1.10, 0.88, 1.90, 0.70, 1.25), namely 1.0998, an annual average growth of 9.98%. The arithmetic mean of these annual returns – 16.6% per annum – is not a meaningful average because growth rates do not combine additively.

  3. Exponential growth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponential_growth

    The amount of increase keeps increasing because it is proportional to the ever-increasing number of bacteria. Growth like this is observed in real-life activity or phenomena, such as the spread of virus infection, the growth of debt due to compound interest, and the spread of viral videos. In real cases, initial exponential growth often does ...

  4. Geometric Brownian motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometric_Brownian_motion

    A geometric Brownian motion (GBM) (also known as exponential Brownian motion) is a continuous-time stochastic process in which the logarithm of the randomly varying quantity follows a Brownian motion (also called a Wiener process) with drift. [1]

  5. Arithmetic–geometric mean - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arithmetic–geometric_mean

    In mathematics, the arithmetic–geometric mean (AGM or agM [1]) of two positive real numbers x and y is the mutual limit of a sequence of arithmetic means and a sequence of geometric means. The arithmetic–geometric mean is used in fast algorithms for exponential , trigonometric functions , and other special functions , as well as some ...

  6. Effective mass (solid-state physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effective_mass_(solid...

    It is possible to average the different axes' effective masses together in some way, to regain the free electron picture. However, the averaging method turns out to depend on the purpose: [ 4 ] For calculation of the total density of states and the total carrier density, via the geometric mean combined with a degeneracy factor g which counts ...

  7. List of formulae involving π - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_formulae_involving_π

    where C is the circumference of an ellipse with semi-major axis a and semi-minor axis b and , are the arithmetic and geometric iterations of ⁡ (,), the arithmetic-geometric mean of a and b with the initial values = and =.

  8. Pythagorean means - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pythagorean_means

    A geometric construction of the quadratic mean and the Pythagorean means (of two numbers a and b). Harmonic mean denoted by H, geometric by G, arithmetic by A and quadratic mean (also known as root mean square) denoted by Q. Comparison of the arithmetic, geometric and harmonic means of a pair of numbers.

  9. Population dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Population_dynamics

    This is the core assumption for geometric populations, because with it we are going to obtain a geometric sequence. Then we define the geometric rate of increase R = b t - d t to be the birth rate minus the death rate. The geometric rate of increase do not depend on time t, because both the birth rate minus the death rate do not, with our ...
