111Pairing function — In mathematics a pairing function is a process to uniquely encode two natural numbers into a single natural number.Any pairing function can be used in set theory to prove that integers and rational numbers have the same cardinality as natural… …
112Nested function — definitions can be compared to how a Matryoshka doll nests within larger versions of itself, in several levels. In computer programming, a nested function (or nested procedure/subroutine) is a function which is lexically (textually) encapsulated… …
113Rate function — In mathematics mdash; specifically, in large deviations theory mdash; a rate function is a function used to quantify the probabilities of rare events. It is required to have several nice properties which assist in the formulation of the large… …
114Argument of a function — In mathematics, an argument of a function is a specific input in the function, also known as an independent variable. When it is clear from the context which argument is meant, the argument is often denoted by arg. A mathematical function has one …
115inverse function — noun a function obtained by expressing the dependent variable of one function as the independent variable of another; f and g are inverse functions if f(x)=y and g(y)=x (Freq. 1) • Hypernyms: ↑function, ↑mathematical function, ↑single valued… …
116Consumption function — In economics, the consumption function is a single mathematical function used to express consumer spending. It was developed by John Maynard Keynes and detailed most famously in his book The General Theory of Employment, Interest, and Money. The… …
117Double exponential function — A double exponential function (red curve) compared to a single exponential function (blue curve). A double exponential function is a constant raised to the power of an exponential function. The general formula is , which grows much more quickly… …
118Null function — Not to be confused with identity function or empty function. In computer science, a null function (or null operator) is subroutine that returns no data values and leaves the program state unchanged. When it is part of the instruction set of… …
119Regulated function — In mathematics, a regulated function (or ruled function) is a well behaved function of a single real variable. Regulated functions arise as a class of integrable functions, and have several equivalent characterisations.DefinitionLet X be a Banach …
120Describing function — The Describing function (DF) method of Nikolay Mitrofanovich Krylov and Nikolay Bogolyubov is an approximate procedure for analyzing certain nonlinear control problems. It is based on quasi linearization, which is the approximation of the non… …
