  2. Semicircle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semicircle

    For a semicircle with a diameter of a + b, the length of its radius is the arithmetic mean of a and b (since the radius is half of the diameter). The geometric mean can be found by dividing the diameter into two segments of lengths a and b , and then connecting their common endpoint to the semicircle with a segment perpendicular to the diameter.

  3. Fractional calculus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractional_calculus

    The fractional Schrödinger equation, a fundamental equation of fractional quantum mechanics, has the following form: [72] [73] (,) = (,) + (,) (,). where the solution of the equation is the wavefunction ψ ( r , t ) – the quantum mechanical probability amplitude for the particle to have a given position vector r at any given time t , and ħ ...

  4. Full width at half maximum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full_width_at_half_maximum

    Full width at half maximum. In a distribution, full width at half maximum (FWHM) is the difference between the two values of the independent variable at which the dependent variable is equal to half of its maximum value. In other words, it is the width of a spectrum curve measured between those points on the y-axis which are half the maximum ...

  5. Exponential decay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponential_decay

    where the final substitution, N 0 = e C, is obtained by evaluating the equation at t = 0, as N 0 is defined as being the quantity at t = 0. This is the form of the equation that is most commonly used to describe exponential decay. Any one of decay constant, mean lifetime, or half-life is sufficient to characterise the decay.

  6. Tangent half-angle formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tangent_half-angle_formula

    This point crosses the y-axis at some point y = t. One can show using simple geometry that t = tan(φ/2). The equation for the drawn line is y = (1 + x)t. The equation for the intersection of the line and circle is then a quadratic equation involving t. The two solutions to this equation are (−1, 0) and (cos φ, sin φ).

  7. Calculus of variations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calculus_of_Variations

    The calculus of variations began with the work of Isaac Newton, such as with Newton's minimal resistance problem, which he formulated and solved in 1685, and published in his Principia in 1687, [2] which was the first problem in the field to be clearly formulated and correctly solved, and was one of the most difficult problems tackled by variational methods prior to the twentieth century.

  8. Half-space (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Half-space_(geometry)

    More generally, a half-space is either of the two parts into which a hyperplane divides an n-dimensional space. [2] That is, the points that are not incident to the hyperplane are partitioned into two convex sets (i.e., half-spaces), such that any subspace connecting a point in one set to a point in the other must intersect the hyperplane.

  9. Elliptic curve point multiplication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elliptic_curve_point...

    Example: 100P can be written as 2(2[P + 2(2[2(P + 2P)])]) and thus requires six point double operations and two point addition operations. 100P would be equal to f(P, 100). This algorithm requires log 2 (d) iterations of point doubling and addition to compute the full point multiplication. There are many variations of this algorithm such as ...
