function of n variables
101Periodic function — Not to be confused with periodic mapping, a mapping whose nth iterate is the identity (see periodic point). In mathematics, a periodic function is a function that repeats its values in regular intervals or periods. The most important examples are …
102Meromorphic function — In complex analysis, a meromorphic function on an open subset D of the complex plane is a function that is holomorphic on all D except a set of isolated points, which are poles for the function. (The terminology comes from the Ancient Greek meros …
103Cryptographic hash function — A cryptographic hash function (specifically, SHA 1) at work. Note that even small changes in the source input (here in the word over ) drastically change the resulting output, by the so called avalanche effect. A cryptographic hash function is a… …
104First-class function — In computer science, a programming language is said to support first class functions (or function literal) if it treats functions as first class objects. Specifically, this means that the language supports constructing new functions during the… …
105Monotonic function — Monotonicity redirects here. For information on monotonicity as it pertains to voting systems, see monotonicity criterion. Monotonic redirects here. For other uses, see Monotone (disambiguation). Figure 1. A monotonically increasing function (it… …
106Wave function collapse — Quantum mechanics Uncertainty principle …
107Logistic 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 …
108Bessel-Clifford function — In mathematical analysis, the Bessel Clifford function is an entire function of two complex variables which can be used to provide an alternative development of the theory of Bessel functions. If :pi(x) = frac{1}{Pi(x)} = frac{1}{Gamma(x+1)}is… …
109Green's function (many-body theory) — In many body theory, the term Green s function (or Green function) is sometimes used interchangeably with correlation function, but refers specifically to correlators of field operators or creation and annihilation operators.The name comes from… …
110Size function — Size functions are shape descriptors, in a geometrical/topological sense. They are functions from the half plane to the natural numbers, counting certain connected components of a topological space. They are used in pattern recognition and… …
