  2. Weight function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weight_function

    In the discrete setting, a weight function : + is a positive function defined on a discrete set, which is typically finite or countable. The weight function w ( a ) := 1 {\displaystyle w(a):=1} corresponds to the unweighted situation in which all elements have equal weight.

  3. Bellman equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bellman_equation

    Let be the state at time .For a decision that begins at time 0, we take as given the initial state .At any time, the set of possible actions depends on the current state; we express this as (), where a particular action represents particular values for one or more control variables, and () is the set of actions available to be taken at state .

  4. Ammonium sulfate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ammonium_sulfate

    The percentage of the salt used is in comparison to the maximal concentration of the salt in the mixture can dissolve. As such, although high concentrations are needed for the method to work adding an abundance of the salt, over 100%, can also oversaturate the solution, therefore, contaminating the nonpolar precipitate with salt precipitate.

  5. Phase (waves) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_(waves)

    That is, the sum and difference of two phases (in degrees) should be computed by the formulas [[+]] [[]] respectively. Thus, for example, the sum of phase angles 190° + 200° is 30° ( 190 + 200 = 390 , minus one full turn), and subtracting 50° from 30° gives a phase of 340° ( 30 − 50 = −20 , plus one full turn).

  6. Inverse trigonometric functions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Inverse_trigonometric_functions

    Several notations for the inverse trigonometric functions exist. The most common convention is to name inverse trigonometric functions using an arc- prefix: arcsin(x), arccos(x), arctan(x), etc. [6] (This convention is used throughout this article.)

  7. Median - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Median

    Jensen's inequality states that for any random variable X with a finite expectation E[X] and for any convex function f [()] [()] This inequality generalizes to the median as well. We say a function f: R → R is a C function if, for any t,

  8. Schrödinger equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schrödinger_equation

    Consequently, the wave function also became a four-component function, governed by the Dirac equation that, in free space, read (+ (= ⁡)) =. This has again the form of the Schrödinger equation, with the time derivative of the wave function being given by a Hamiltonian operator acting upon the wave function.

  9. Greenhouse gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenhouse_gas

    The relative importance of water vapor decreases with increasing altitude. Earth absorbs some of the radiant energy received from the sun, reflects some of it as light and reflects or radiates the rest back to space as heat .
