  2. Non-linear sigma model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-linear_sigma_model

    The non-linear σ-model was introduced by Gell-Mann & Lévy (1960, §6), who named it after a field corresponding to a spinless meson called σ in their model. [1] This article deals primarily with the quantization of the non-linear sigma model; please refer to the base article on the sigma model for general definitions and classical (non ...

  3. Sigma model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sigma_model

    Unfortunately, the "sigma meson" is not described by the sigma-model, but only a component of it. [1] The sigma model was introduced by Gell-Mann & Lévy (1960, section 5); the name σ-model comes from a field in their model corresponding to a spinless meson called σ, a scalar meson introduced earlier by Julian Schwinger. [2]

    Variants of this algorithm are available in MATLAB as the routine lsqnonneg [8] [1] and in SciPy as optimize.nnls. [ 9 ] Many improved algorithms have been suggested since 1974. [ 1 ]

  5. Skyrmion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skyrmion

    In field theory, skyrmions are homotopically non-trivial classical solutions of a nonlinear sigma model [17] with a non-trivial target manifold topology – hence, they are topological solitons. An example occurs in chiral models [ 18 ] of mesons , where the target manifold is a homogeneous space of the structure group

  6. Sigmoid function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sigmoid_function

    Inverted logistic S-curve to model the relation between wheat yield and soil salinity. Many natural processes, such as those of complex system learning curves, exhibit a progression from small beginnings that accelerates and approaches a climax over time. When a specific mathematical model is lacking, a sigmoid function is often used. [6]

  7. Non-linear least squares - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-linear_least_squares

    Non-linear least squares is the form of least squares analysis used to fit a set of m observations with a model that is non-linear in n unknown parameters (m ≥ n). It is used in some forms of nonlinear regression. The basis of the method is to approximate the model by a linear one and to refine the parameters by successive iterations.

  8. Singular value decomposition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singular_value_decomposition

    The output singular vectors in this case are entire weather systems. These perturbations are then run through the full nonlinear model to generate an ensemble forecast, giving a handle on some of the uncertainty that should be allowed for around the current central prediction. SVD has also been applied to reduced order modelling.

  9. Chiral model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiral_model

    The four real quantities (π, σ) define the smallest nontrivial chiral multiplet and represent the field content of the linear sigma model. To switch from the above linear realization of SO(4) to the nonlinear one, we observe that, in fact, only three of the four components of (π, σ) are
