mapping function
31Projective texture mapping — is a method of texture mapping that allows a textured image to be projected onto a scene as if by a slide projector. Projective texture mapping is useful in a variety of lighting techniques and it s the starting point for shadow… …
32Photon mapping — In computer graphics, photon mapping is a two pass global illumination algorithm developed by Henrik Wann Jensen that solves the rendering equation. Rays from the light source and rays from the camera are traced independently until some… …
33Residuated mapping — In mathematics, the concept of a residuated mapping arises in the theory of partially ordered sets. It refines the concept of a monotone function.If A , B are posets, a function f : A → B is defined to be monotone if and only if it is order… …
34Transformation (function) — In mathematics, a transformation could be any function mapping a set X on to another set or on to itself. However, often the set X has some additional algebraic or geometric structure and the term transformation refers to a function from X to… …
35Open mapping theorem (complex analysis) — In complex analysis, the open mapping theorem states that if U is a connected open subset of the complex plane C and f : U → C is a non constant holomorphic function, then f is an open map (i.e. it sends open subsets of U to open subsets of… …
36Continuous mapping theorem — In probability theory, the continuous mapping theorem states that continuous functions are limit preserving even if their arguments are sequences of random variables. A continuous function, in Heine’s definition, is such a function that maps… …
37Hash function — A hash function is any well defined procedure or mathematical function for turning some kind of data into a relatively small integer, that may serve as an index into an array. The values returned by a hash function are called hash values, hash… …
38Periodic 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 …
39Social welfare function — In economics a social welfare function can be defined as a real valued function that ranks conceivable social states (alternative complete descriptions of the society) from lowest on up as to welfare of the society. Inputs of the function include …
40Minkowski's question mark function — Minkowski question mark function. ?(x) is on the left and ?(x) x is on the right. In …
