  2. Intraocular lens power calculation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intraocular_lens_power...

    The aim of an accurate intraocular lens power calculation is to provide an intraocular lens (IOL) that fits the specific needs and desires of the individual patient. The development of better instrumentation for measuring the eye's axial length (AL) and the use of more precise mathematical formulas to perform the appropriate calculations have significantly improved the accuracy with which the ...

  3. Appell's equation of motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appell's_equation_of_motion

    In fact, Appell's equation leads directly to Lagrange's equations of motion. [3] Moreover, it can be used to derive Kane's equations, which are particularly suited for describing the motion of complex spacecraft. [4] Appell's formulation is an application of Gauss' principle of least constraint. [5]

  4. k·p perturbation theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K·p_perturbation_theory

    In solid-state physics, the k·p perturbation theory is an approximated semi-empirical approach for calculating the band structure (particularly effective mass) and optical properties of crystalline solids.

    Evan O'Neill Kane (December 23, 1924 – March 23, 2006), known as E. O. Kane in his publications, was an American physicist who established some of the basic understanding of the theory of semiconductors that are now used in consumer and other electronics.

  6. h-vector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H-vector

    The coefficients of f(P,x) form the toric h-vector of P. When P is an Eulerian poset of rank d + 1 such that P − 1 is simplicial, the toric h-vector coincides with the ordinary h-vector constructed using the numbers f i of elements of P − 1 of given rank i + 1. In this case the toric h-vector of P satisfies the Dehn–Sommerville equations

  7. Toric section - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toric_section

    A special case of a toric section is the spiric section, in which the intersecting plane is parallel to the rotational symmetry axis of the torus. They were discovered by the ancient Greek geometer Perseus in roughly 150 BC. [2] Well-known examples include the hippopede and the Cassini oval and their relatives, such as the lemniscate of Bernoulli.

  9. Toric code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toric_code

    [3] [4] The toric code can also be considered to be a Z 2 lattice gauge theory in a particular limit. [5] It was introduced by Alexei Kitaev. The toric code gets its name from its periodic boundary conditions, giving it the shape of a torus. These conditions give the model translational invariance, which is useful for analytic study.
