self-similar approximation
1Self-pulsation — takes place at the beginning of laser action.As the pump is switched on, the gainin the active medium rises and exceeds the steady state value. The number of photons in the cavity increases, depleting the gain below the steady state value, and so …
2Self-organizing map — A self organizing map (SOM) is a type of artificial neural network that is trained using unsupervised learning to produce a low dimensional (typically two dimensional), discretized representation of the input space of the training samples, called …
3History of geometry — Geometry (Greek γεωμετρία ; geo = earth, metria = measure) arose as the field of knowledge dealing with spatial relationships. Geometry was one of the two fields of pre modern mathematics, the other being the study of numbers. Classic geometry… …
4Logarithm — The graph of the logarithm to base 2 crosses the x axis (horizontal axis) at 1 and passes through the points with coordinates (2, 1), (4, 2), and (8, 3) …
5Renormalization group — In theoretical physics, the renormalization group (RG) refers to a mathematical apparatus that allows systematic investigation of the changes of a physical system as viewed at different distance scales. In particle physics, it reflects the… …
6Corner detection — Feature detection Output of a typical corner detection algorithm …
7P-adic quantum mechanics — One may compute the energy levels for a potential well like this one.[note 1] P adic quantum mechanics is a relatively recent approach to understanding the nature of fundamental physics. It is the application of p adic analysis to quantum… …
8Mandelbrot set — Initial image of a Mandelbrot set zoom sequence with a continuously coloured environment …
9Hausdorff dimension — In mathematics, the Hausdorff dimension (also known as the Hausdorff–Besicovitch dimension) is an extended non negative real number associated to any metric space. The Hausdoff dimension generalizes the notion of the dimension of a real vector… …
