  2. Asymptotic analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asymptotic_analysis

    The relation is an equivalence relation on the set of functions of x; the functions f and g are said to be asymptotically equivalent. The domain of f and g can be any set for which the limit is defined: e.g. real numbers, complex numbers, positive integers.

  3. Asymptote - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asymptote

    If y=c is a horizontal asymptote of f(x), then y=c+k is a horizontal asymptote of f(x)+k; If a known function has an asymptote, then the scaling of the function also have an asymptote. If y=ax+b is an asymptote of f(x), then y=cax+cb is an asymptote of cf(x) For example, f(x)=e x-1 +2 has horizontal asymptote y=0+2=2, and no vertical or oblique ...

  4. Conchoid of de Sluze - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conchoid_of_de_Sluze

    except that for a = 0 the implicit form has an acnode (0,0) not present in polar form. They are rational, circular, cubic plane curves. These expressions have an asymptote x = 1 (for a ≠ 0). The point most distant from the asymptote is (1 + a, 0). (0,0) is a crunode for a < −1. The area between the curve and the asymptote is, for a ≥ −1,

  5. Delta method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delta_method

    The intuition of the delta method is that any such g function, in a "small enough" range of the function, can be approximated via a first order Taylor series (which is basically a linear function). If the random variable is roughly normal then a linear transformation of it is also normal. Small range can be achieved when approximating the ...

  6. Asymptotology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asymptotology

    The field of asymptotics is normally first encountered in school geometry with the introduction of the asymptote, a line to which a curve tends at infinity.The word Ασύμπτωτος (asymptotos) in Greek means non-coincident and puts strong emphasis on the point that approximation does not turn into coincidence.

  7. Sigmoid function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sigmoid_function

    A wide variety of sigmoid functions including the logistic and hyperbolic tangent functions have been used as the activation function of artificial neurons. Sigmoid curves are also common in statistics as cumulative distribution functions (which go from 0 to 1), such as the integrals of the logistic density , the normal density , and Student's ...

  8. Hyperbola - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbola

    From the Hesse normal form + = of the asymptotes and the equation of the hyperbola one gets: [17] ( 2 ) {\displaystyle {\color {magenta}{(2)}}} The product of the distances from a point on the hyperbola to both the asymptotes is the constant a 2 b 2 a 2 + b 2 , {\displaystyle {\tfrac {a^{2}b^{2}}{a^{2}+b^{2}}}\ ,} which can also be written in ...

  9. Singularity (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singularity_(mathematics)

    In other words, the function has an infinite discontinuity when its graph has a vertical asymptote. An essential singularity is a term borrowed from complex analysis (see below). This is the case when either one or the other limits f ( c − ) {\displaystyle f(c^{-})} or f ( c + ) {\displaystyle f(c^{+})} does not exist, but not because it is ...
