  2. Configuration model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Configuration_model

    In the configuration model, the degree of each vertex is pre-defined, rather than having a probability distribution from which the given degree is chosen. [2] As opposed to the Erdős–Rényi model, the degree sequence of the configuration model is not restricted to have a Poisson distribution, the model allows the user to give the network any desired degree distribution.

  3. Configuration graph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Configuration_graph

    A configuration, also called an instantaneous description (ID), is a finite representation of the machine at a given time. For example, for a finite automata and a given input, the configuration will be the current state and the number of read letters, for a Turing machine it will be the state, the content of the tape and the position of the head.

  4. Configuration management - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Configuration_management

    Configuration management (CM) is a management process for establishing and maintaining consistency of a product's performance, functional, and physical attributes with its requirements, design, and operational information throughout its life. [1][2] The CM process is widely used by military engineering organizations to manage changes throughout ...

  5. Gestalt psychology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gestalt_psychology

    In Gestalt theory, information is perceived as wholes rather than disparate parts which are then processed summatively. As used in Gestalt psychology, the German word Gestalt (/ ɡəˈʃtælt, - ˈʃtɑːlt / gə-SHTA (H)LT, [4][5] German: [ɡəˈʃtalt] ⓘ; meaning "form" [6]) is interpreted as "pattern" or "configuration". [7]

    As an example, consider the ground state of silicon.The electron configuration of Si is 1s 2 2s 2 2p 6 3s 2 3p 2 (see spectroscopic notation).We need to consider only the outer 3p 2 electrons, for which it can be shown (see term symbols) that the possible terms allowed by the Pauli exclusion principle are 1 D , 3 P , and 1 S.

  7. Conway's Game of Life - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway's_Game_of_Life

    The Game of Life, also known simply as Conway's Game of Life or simply Life, is a cellular automaton devised by the British mathematician John Horton Conway in 1970. [1] It is a zero-player game, [2][3] meaning that its evolution is determined by its initial state, requiring no further input. One interacts with the Game of Life by creating an ...

  8. Octet rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octet_rule

    The quantum theory of the atom explains the eight electrons as a closed shell with an s 2 p 6 electron configuration. A closed-shell configuration is one in which low-lying energy levels are full and higher energy levels are empty. For example, the neon atom ground state has a full n = 2 shell (2s 2 2p 6) and an empty n = 3 shell. According to ...

  9. Configuration interaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Configuration_interaction

    Configuration interaction (CI) is a post-Hartree–Fock linear variational method for solving the nonrelativistic Schrödinger equation within the Born–Oppenheimer approximation for a quantum chemical multi-electron system. Mathematically, configuration simply describes the linear combination of Slater determinants used for the wave function.
