exponential population
11exponential function — Math. 1. the function y = ex. 2. any function of the form y = bax, where a and b are positive constants. 3. any function in which a variable appears as an exponent and may also appear as a base, as y = x2x. [1890 95] * * * In mathematics, a… …
12Exponential — Die Mathematik bezeichnet als Exponentialfunktion eine Funktion der Form mit der Basis . In der gebräuchlichsten Form sind dabei für den Exponenten x die reellen Zahlen zugelassen. Im Gegensatz zu den Potenzfunktionen, bei denen die Basis die… …
13exponential — adj. 1 Math. of or indicated by a mathematical exponent. 2 (of an increase etc.) more and more rapid. Phrases and idioms: exponential function Math. a function which increases as a quantity raised to a power determined by the variable on which… …
14Population — In biology a population is the collection of inter breeding organisms of a particular species; in sociology, a collection of human beings. A population shares a particular characteristic of interest, most often that of living in a given… …
15Population dynamics of fisheries — A fishery is an area with an associated fish or aquatic population which is harvested for its commercial or recreational value. Fisheries can be wild or farmed. Population dynamics describes the ways in which a given population grows and shrinks… …
16exponential growth — The exponential family of curves (Y = x) describes growth at an increasing (geometrical) ratio (as in the example of compound interest rates). Thomas Malthus (Essay on the Principle of Population, 1789) pointed out that if food resources increase …
17Population inversion — In physics, specifically statistical mechanics, a population inversion occurs when a system (such as a group of atoms or molecules) exists in state with more members in an excited state than in lower energy states. The concept is of fundamental… …
18exponential phase — (eks po nen shul) The phase of the growth curve during which the microbial population is growing at a constant and maximum rate, dividing and doubling at regular intervals …
19Double exponential function — A double exponential function (red curve) compared to a single exponential function (blue curve). A double exponential function is a constant raised to the power of an exponential function. The general formula is , which grows much more quickly… …
20Biological exponential growth — When the resources availability is unlimited in the habitat, the population of an organism living in the habitat grows in an exponential or geometric fashion.Resource availability is obviously essential for the unimpeded growth of a… …
