21Linear system of divisors — A linear system of divisors algebraicizes the classic geometric notion of a family of curves, as in the Apollonian circles. In algebraic geometry, a linear system of divisors is an algebraic generalization of the geometric notion of a family of… …
22Linear response function — A linear response function describes the input output relationshipof a signal transducer such as a radio turning electromagnetic waves into musicor a neuron turning synaptic input into a response.Because of its many applications in information… …
23Theory of incomplete measurements — The Theory of Incomplete Measurements (TIM) is an attempt to unify Quantum Mechanics and General Relativity by focusing on physical measurement processes. In that theory, general relativity is a continuous approximation of discrete measurements,… …
24Linear independence — In linear algebra, a family of vectors is linearly independent if none of them can be written as a linear combination of finitely many other vectors in the collection. A family of vectors which is not linearly independent is called linearly… …
25Linear code — In mathematics and information theory, a linear code is an important type of block code used in error correction and detection schemes. Linear codes allow for more efficient encoding and decoding algorithms than other codes (cf. syndrome… …
26Linear-quadratic-Gaussian control — In control theory, the linear quadratic Gaussian (LQG) control problem is one of the most fundamental optimal control problems. It concerns uncertain linear systems disturbed by additive white Gaussian noise, having incomplete state information… …
27Linear continuum — In the mathematical field of order theory, a continuum or linear continuum is a generalization of the real line. Formally, a linear continuum is a linearly ordered set S of more than one element that is densely ordered , i.e., between any two… …
28Linear complementarity problem — In mathematical optimization theory, the linear complementarity problem, or LCP, is a special case of quadratic programming which arises frequently in computational mechanics. Given a real matrix M and vector b, the linear complementarity problem …
29Theory of constraints — Part of a series of articles on Industry Manufacturing methods Batch production • Job production Continuous production Improvement method …
30Linear feedback shift register — [ xor gate provides feedback to the register that shifts bits from left to right. The maximal sequence consists of every possible state except the 0000 state.] A linear feedback shift register (LFSR) is a shift register whose input bit is a… …
