  2. Double exponential function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_exponential_function

    Factorials grow faster than exponential functions, but much more slowly than double exponential functions. However, tetration and the Ackermann function grow faster. See Big O notation for a comparison of the rate of growth of various functions. The inverse of the double exponential function is the double logarithm log(log(x)).

  3. NP-hardness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NP-hardness

    Class of computational decision problems for which any given yes-solution can be verified as a solution in polynomial time by a deterministic Turing machine (or solvable by a non-deterministic Turing machine in polynomial time). NP-hard Class of problems which are at least as hard as the hardest problems in NP.

  4. Overexploitation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overexploitation

    When the giant flightless birds called moa were overexploited to the point of extinction, [5] the giant Haast's eagle that preyed on them also became extinct. [6]The concern about overexploitation, while relatively recent in the annals of modern environmental awareness, traces back to ancient practices embedded in human history.

    Ioannidis (2005): "Why Most Published Research Findings Are False".[1]The replication crisis [a] is an ongoing methodological crisis in which the results of many scientific studies are difficult or impossible to reproduce.

  6. Bacteria - Wikipedia

    [120] [121] The second phase of growth is the logarithmic phase, also known as the exponential phase. The log phase is marked by rapid exponential growth. The rate at which cells grow during this phase is known as the growth rate (k), and the time it takes the cells to double is known as the generation time (g). During log phase, nutrients are ...

  7. Exponentiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponentiation

    In mathematics, exponentiation is an operation involving two numbers: the base and the exponent or power.Exponentiation is written as b n, where b is the base and n is the power; this is pronounced as "b (raised) to the (power of) n ". [1]

  8. Relative growth rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relative_growth_rate

    RGR is a concept relevant in cases where the increase in a state variable over time is proportional to the value of that state variable at the beginning of a time period. In terms of differential equations, if is the current size, and its growth rate, then relative growth rate is
