plotted function
11Dickman function — The Dickman–de Bruijn function ρ(u) plotted on a logarithmic scale. The horizontal axis is the argument u, and the vertical axis is the value of the function. The graph nearly makes a downward line on the logarithmic scale, demonstrating that the …
12Modulation transfer function (infrared imaging) — The Modulation Transfer Function (MTF) is used to approximate the position of best focus of an infrared imaging system. In an imaging system, best focus is typically achieved when the MTF is between 0.4 and 0.6; most often at 0.5 (50% cutoff… …
13linear cost function — Cost behaviour that, when plotted on a graph against activity levels, results in a straight line. For example, total fixed cost levels and variable costs per unit of activity will both result in a straight line horizontal to the x axis when… …
14linear cost function — Cost behaviour that, when plotted on a graph against activity levels, results in a straight line. For example, total fixed cost levels and variable costs per unit of activity will both result in a straight line horizontal to the x axis when… …
15Mathieu function — In mathematics, the Mathieu functions are certain special functions useful for treating a variety of problems in applied mathematics, including vibrating elliptical drumheads, quadrupoles mass filters and quadrupole ion traps for mass… …
16step-function cost — An item of expenditure that when plotted on a graph against activity levels gives a stepped function; i.e. increments of cost are incurred as activity rises. See also: semi fixed cost, linear cost function …
17cost function — A formula or equation that represents the way in which particular costs behave when plotted on a graph. For example, the most common cost function represents the total cost as the sum of the fixed costs and the variable costs in the equation y =… …
18revenue function — A formula or equation representing the way in which particular items of income behave when plotted on a graph. For example, the most common revenue function is that for total revenue in the equation y = bx, where y is the total revenue, b is the… …
19cost function — A formula or equation that represents the way in which particular costs behave when plotted on a graph. For example, the most common cost function represents the total cost as the sum of the fixed costs and the variable costs in the equation y =… …
20curvilinear cost function — Any cost relationship that results in a curved line when plotted on a graph …
