  2. Gaussian function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaussian_function

    Gaussian functions are the Green's function for the (homogeneous and isotropic) diffusion equation (and to the heat equation, which is the same thing), a partial differential equation that describes the time evolution of a mass-density under diffusion.

  3. Normal force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_force

    Figure 2: Weight (W), the frictional force (F r), and the normal force (F n) acting on a block.Weight is the product of mass (m) and the acceleration of gravity (g).In the case of an object resting upon a flat table (unlike on an incline as in Figures 1 and 2), the normal force on the object is equal but in opposite direction to the gravitational force applied on the object (or the weight of ...

  4. Normalized solutions (nonlinear Schrödinger equation)

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normalized_solutions...

    The nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLSE) is a fundamental equation in quantum mechanics and other various fields of physics, describing the evolution of complex wave functions. In Quantum Physics, normalization means that the total probability of finding a quantum particle anywhere in the universe is unity. [1]

  5. Legendre polynomials - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legendre_polynomials

    2, and equating the coefficients of powers of t in the resulting expansion gives Bonnet’s recursion formula (+) + = (+) (). This relation, along with the first two polynomials P 0 and P 1 , allows all the rest to be generated recursively.

  6. Normal distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_distribution

    In probability theory and statistics, a normal distribution or Gaussian distribution is a type of continuous probability distribution for a real-valued random variable.The general form of its probability density function is [2] [3] = ().

  7. Gaussian quadrature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaussian_quadrature

    With the n-th polynomial normalized to give P n (1) = 1, the i-th Gauss node, x i, is the i-th root of P n and the weights are given by the formula [3] = [′ ()]. Some low-order quadrature rules are tabulated below (over interval [−1, 1] , see the section below for other intervals).

  8. Normalized solution (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normalized_solution...

    In this article, the normalized solution is introduced by using the nonlinear Schrödinger equation. The nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLSE) is a fundamental equation in quantum mechanics and other various fields of physics, describing the evolution of complex wave functions. In Quantum Physics, normalization means that the total probability ...

  9. Design effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design_effect

    Normalized (convex) weights is a set of weights that form a convex combination, i.e., each weight is a number between 0 and 1, and the sum of all weights is equal to 1. Any set of (non negative) weights can be turned into normalized weights by dividing each weight with the sum of all weights, making these weights normalized to sum to 1.
