  2. Word equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Word_equation

    A word equation is a formal equality:= = between a pair of words and , each over an alphabet comprising both constants (c.f. ) and unknowns (c.f. ). [1] An assignment of constant words to the unknowns of is said to solve if it maps both sides of to identical words.

  3. Renormalization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renormalization

    Renormalization is a collection of techniques in quantum field theory, statistical field theory, and the theory of self-similar geometric structures, that are used to treat infinities arising in calculated quantities by altering values of these quantities to compensate for effects of their self-interactions.

  4. Fugacity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fugacity

    The fugacity of a condensed phase (liquid or solid) is defined the same way as for a gas: = ⁡ and = It is difficult to measure fugacity in a condensed phase directly; but if the condensed phase is saturated (in equilibrium with the vapor phase), the chemical potentials of the two phases are equal (μ c = μ g).

  5. Natural logarithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_logarithm

    For example, ln 7.5 is 2.0149..., because e 2.0149... = 7.5. The natural logarithm of e itself, ln e, is 1, because e 1 = e, while the natural logarithm of 1 is 0, since e 0 = 1. The natural logarithm can be defined for any positive real number a as the area under the curve y = 1/x from 1 to a [4] (with the area being negative when 0 < a < 1 ...

  6. Stirling's approximation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stirling's_approximation

    The right-hand side of this equation minus (⁡ + ⁡) = ⁡ is the approximation by the trapezoid rule of the integral ⁡ (! ) − 1 2 ln ⁡ n ≈ ∫ 1 n ln ⁡ x d x = n ln ⁡ n − n + 1 , {\displaystyle \ln(n!)-{\tfrac {1}{2}}\ln n\approx \int _{1}^{n}\ln x\,{\rm {d}}x=n\ln n-n+1,}

  7. Extended real number line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_real_number_line

    Using this characterization of extended-real neighborhoods, limits with tending to + or , and limits "equal" to + and , reduce to the general topological definition of limits—instead of having a special definition in the real number system.

  8. Chemical affinity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_affinity

    In chemical physics and physical chemistry, chemical affinity is the electronic property by which dissimilar chemical species are capable of forming chemical compounds. [1] Chemical affinity can also refer to the tendency of an atom or compound to combine by chemical reaction with atoms or compounds of unlike composition.

  9. L-infinity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L-infinity

    is a function space.Its elements are the essentially bounded measurable functions. [2]More precisely, is defined based on an underlying measure space, (,,). Start with the set of all measurable functions from to which are essentially bounded, that is, bounded except on a set of measure zero.
