  2. Rayleigh–Ritz method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rayleigh–Ritz_method

    In numerical linear algebra, the Rayleigh–Ritz method is commonly [12] applied to approximate an eigenvalue problem = for the matrix of size using a projected matrix of a smaller size <, generated from a given matrix with orthonormal columns. The matrix version of the algorithm is the most simple:

  3. Rayleigh distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rayleigh_distribution

    The distribution is named after Lord Rayleigh (/ ˈ r eɪ l i /). [1] A Rayleigh distribution is often observed when the overall magnitude of a vector in the plane is related to its directional components. One example where the Rayleigh distribution naturally arises is when wind velocity is analyzed in two dimensions.

  4. Rayleigh's quotient in vibrations analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rayleigh's_quotient_in...

    The example shows how the Rayleigh's quotient is capable of getting an accurate estimation of the lowest natural frequency. The practice of using the static displacement vector as a trial vector is valid as the static displacement vector tends to resemble the lowest vibration mode.

  5. Rayleigh quotient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rayleigh_quotient

    As stated in the introduction, for any vector x, one has (,) [,], where , are respectively the smallest and largest eigenvalues of .This is immediate after observing that the Rayleigh quotient is a weighted average of eigenvalues of M: (,) = = = = where (,) is the -th eigenpair after orthonormalization and = is the th coordinate of x in the eigenbasis.

  6. Rayleigh fading - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rayleigh_fading

    Rayleigh fading is a statistical model for the effect of a propagation environment on a radio signal, such as that used by wireless devices.. Rayleigh fading models assume that the magnitude of a signal that has passed through such a transmission medium (also called a communication channel) will vary randomly, or fade, according to a Rayleigh distribution — the radial component of the sum of ...

  7. Buckingham π theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buckingham_π_theorem

    The technique of using the theorem ("the method of dimensions") became widely known due to the works of Rayleigh. The first application of the π theorem in the general case [note 1] to the dependence of pressure drop in a pipe upon governing parameters probably dates back to 1892, [2] a heuristic proof with the use of series expansions, to ...

  8. Rayleigh's equation (fluid dynamics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rayleigh's_equation_(fluid...

    The equation is named after Lord Rayleigh, who introduced it in 1880. [2] The Orr–Sommerfeld equation – introduced later, for the study of stability of parallel viscous flow – reduces to Rayleigh's equation when the viscosity is zero. [3] Rayleigh's equation, together with appropriate boundary conditions, most often poses an eigenvalue ...
