71VSEPR theory — Valence shell electron pair repulsion (VSEPR) theory is a model in chemistry used to predict the shape of individual molecules based upon the extent of electron pair electrostatic repulsion.[1] It is also named Gillespie–Nyholm theory after its… …
72Spectral theory of ordinary differential equations — In mathematics, the spectral theory of ordinary differential equations is concerned with the determination of the spectrum and eigenfunction expansion associated with a linear ordinary differential equation. In his dissertation Hermann Weyl… …
73Dynamical systems theory — is an area of applied mathematics used to describe the behavior of complex dynamical systems, usually by employing differential equations or difference equations. When differential equations are employed, the theory is called continuous dynamical …
74automata theory — Body of physical and logical principles underlying the operation of any electromechanical device (an automaton) that converts information input in one form into another, or into some action, according to an algorithm. Norbert Wiener and Alan M.… …
75Character theory — This article refers to the use of the term character theory in mathematics. For the media studies definition, see Character theory (Media). In mathematics, more specifically in group theory, the character of a group representation is a function… …
76Regret (decision theory) — Regret (often also called opportunity loss) is defined as the difference between the actual payoff and the payoff that would have been obtained if a different course of action had been chosen. This is also called difference regret. Furthermore,… …
77LTI system theory — or linear time invariant system theory is a theory in the field of electrical engineering, specifically in circuits, signal processing, and control theory, that investigates the response of a linear, time invariant system to an arbitrary input… …
78Operad theory — is a field of abstract algebra concerned with prototypical algebras that model properties such as commutativity or anticommutativity as well as various amounts of associativity. Operads generalize the various associativity properties already… …
79Mindlin–Reissner plate theory — Deformation of a plate highlighting the displacement, the mid surface (red) and the normal to the mid surface (blue) The Mindlin Reissner theory of plates is an extension of Kirchhoff–Love plate theory that takes into account shear deformations… …
80Group theory — is a mathematical discipline, the part of abstract algebra that studies the algebraic structures known as groups. The development of group theory sprang from three main sources: number theory, theory of algebraic equations, and geometry. The… …
