121Describing function — The Describing function (DF) method of Nikolay Mitrofanovich Krylov and Nikolay Bogolyubov is an approximate procedure for analyzing certain nonlinear control problems. It is based on quasi linearization, which is the approximation of the non… …
122Survival function — The survival function, also known as a survivor function or reliability function, is a property of any random variable that maps a set of events, usually associated with mortality or failure of some system, onto time. It captures the probability… …
123Conway base 13 function — The Conway base 13 function is a function created by British mathematician John H. Conway as a counterexample to the converse of the intermediate value theorem. In other words, even though Conway s function f is not continuous, if… …
124Veblen function — In mathematics, the Veblen functions are a hierarchy of functions from ordinals to ordinals, introduced by harvtxt|Veblen|1908. If phi;0 is any continuous strictly increasing function from ordinals to ordinals, then for any non zero ordinal α,… …
125Beta function — This article is about Euler beta function. For other uses, see Beta function (disambiguation). In mathematics, the beta function, also called the Euler integral of the first kind, is a special function defined by for The beta function was studied …
126Partition function (statistical mechanics) — For other uses, see Partition function (disambiguation). Partition function describe the statistical properties of a system in thermodynamic equilibrium. It is a function of temperature and other parameters, such as the volume enclosing a gas.… …
127Partition function (mathematics) — The partition function or configuration integral, as used in probability theory, information science and dynamical systems, is an abstraction of the definition of a partition function in statistical mechanics. It is a special case of a… …
128Logistic function — A logistic function or logistic curve is the most common sigmoid curve. It modelsthe S curve of growth of some set P . The initial stage of growth is approximately exponential; then, as saturation begins, the growth slows, and at maturity, growth …
