the partition function
11Characteristic state function — The characteristic state function in statistical mechanics refers to a particular relationship between the partition function of an ensemble. In particular, if the partition function P satisfies P = exp( − βQ) or P = exp( + βQ) in which Q is a… …
12Partition of unity — In mathematics, a partition of unity of a topological space X is a set of continuous functions, { ho i} {iin I}, from X to the unit interval [0,1] such that for every point, xin X, * there is a neighbourhood of x where all but a finite number of… …
13Partition (database) — A partition is a division of a logical database or its constituting elements into distinct independent parts. Database partitioning is normally done for manageability, performance or availability reasons.A popular and favourable application of… …
14Partition coefficient — In chemistry and the pharmaceutical sciences, a partition (P) or distribution coefficient (D) is the ratio of concentrations of a compound in the two phases of a mixture of two immiscible solvents at equilibrium.[1] The terms gas/liquid partition …
15Partition of a set — In mathematics, a partition of a set X is a division of X into non overlapping parts or blocks or cells that cover all of X . More formally, these cells are both collectively exhaustive and mutually exclusive with respect to the set being… …
16List of partition topics — This is a list of partition topics, in the mathematical sense. Partition (disambiguation) lists meanings in other fields. In mathematics, a partition may be a partition of a set or an ordered partition of a set, or a partition of a graph, or a… …
17Arithmetic function — In number theory, an arithmetic (or arithmetical) function is a real or complex valued function ƒ(n) defined on the set of natural numbers (i.e. positive integers) that expresses some arithmetical property of n. [1] An example of an arithmetic… …
18Fonction Partition — En mathématiques, la fonction partition p(n) représente le nombre de partitions possibles d un entier naturel n, ce qui veut dire le nombre de manières distinctes (et d ordre indépendant) de représenter n comme une somme d entiers. Par convention …

20Möbius function — This article is about the number theoretic Möbius function. For the combinatorial Möbius function, see incidence algebra. For the rational functions defined on the complex numbers, see Möbius transformation. The classical Möbius function μ(n) is… …
