iterated function system
1Iterated function system — In mathematics, iterated function systems or IFSs are a method of constructing fractals; the resulting constructions are always self similar.IFS fractals as they are normally called can be of any number of dimensions, but are commonly computed… …
2Iterated function — In mathematics, iterated functions are the objects of deep study in computer science, fractals and dynamical systems. An iterated function is a function which is composed with itself, repeatedly, a process called iteration.DefinitionThe formal… …
3L-system — An L system or Lindenmayer system is a parallel rewriting system, namely a variant of a formal grammar (a set of rules and symbols), most famously used to model the growth processes of plant development, but also able to model the morphology of a …
4Function composition — For function composition in computer science, see function composition (computer science). g ∘ f, the composition of f and g. For example, (g ∘ f)(c) = #. In mathematics, function composition is the application of one function to the resul …
5Refinable function — In mathematics, in the area of wavelet analysis, a refinable function is a function which fulfills some kind of self similarity. A function varphi is called refinable with respect to the mask h if:varphi(x)=2cdotsum {k=0}^{N 1} h… …
6Inverse function — In mathematics, if fnof; is a function from A to B then an inverse function for fnof; is a function in the opposite direction, from B to A , with the property that a round trip (a composition) from A to B to A (or from B to A to B ) returns each… …
7Ordinal collapsing function — In mathematical logic and set theory, an ordinal collapsing function (or projection function) is a technique for defining (notations for) certain recursive large countable ordinals, whose principle is to give names to certain ordinals much larger …
8Error function — Plot of the error function In mathematics, the error function (also called the Gauss error function) is a special function (non elementary) of sigmoid shape which occurs in probability, statistics and partial differential equations. It is defined …
9Measure-preserving dynamical system — In mathematics, a measure preserving dynamical system is an object of study in the abstract formulation of dynamical systems, and ergodic theory in particular. Contents 1 Definition 2 Examples 3 Homomorphisms 4 …
10Cryptographic 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… …
