function with large amplitude
1Optical transfer function — The optical transfer function (OTF) of an imaging system (camera, video system, microscope etc) is the true measure of resolution (image sharpness) that the system is capable of. The common practice of defining resolution in terms of pixel count… …
2Gaussian function — In mathematics, a Gaussian function (named after Carl Friedrich Gauss) is a function of the form::f(x) = a e^{ { (x b)^2 over 2 c^2 } }for some real constants a > 0, b , c > 0, and e ≈ 2.718281828 (Euler s number).The graph of a Gaussian is a… …
3Point spread function — The point spread function (PSF) describes the response of an imaging system to a point source or point object. A related but more general term for the PSF is a system s impulse response. The PSF in many contexts can be thought of as the extended… …
4Double 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… …
5Beta 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 …
6Ambiguity function — In pulsed radar and sonar signal processing, an ambiguity function isa two dimensional function of time delay and Doppler frequencychi( au,f) showing the distortion of an uncompensated matched filter (sometimes called pulse compression) due to… …
7Prime-counting function — In mathematics, the prime counting function is the function counting the number of prime numbers less than or equal to some real number x cite book |first=Eric |last=Bach |coauthors=Shallit, Jeffrey |year=1996 |title=Algorithmic Number Theory… …
8celestial mechanics — the branch of astronomy that deals with the application of the laws of dynamics and Newton s law of gravitation to the motions of heavenly bodies. [1815 25] * * * Branch of astronomy that deals with the mathematical theory of the motions of… …
9Stopping power — For the concept in nuclear physics, see stopping power (particle radiation). Contents 1 History 2 Dynamics of bullets 3 Wound …
10Hydrostatic shock — The term hydrostatic shock describes the theory that a penetrating projectile produces remote wounding and incapacitating effects in living targets, in addition to local effects in tissue caused by direct impact, through a hydraulic effect in… …
