  2. Conjugate (acid-base theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conjugate_(acid-base_theory)

    One use of conjugate acids and bases lies in buffering systems, which include a buffer solution. In a buffer, a weak acid and its conjugate base (in the form of a salt), or a weak base and its conjugate acid, are used in order to limit the pH change during a titration process. Buffers have both organic and non-organic chemical applications.

  3. Conjugate transpose - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conjugate_transpose

    The conjugate transpose of a matrix with real entries reduces to the transpose of , as the conjugate of a real number is the number itself. The conjugate transpose can be motivated by noting that complex numbers can be usefully represented by 2 × 2 {\displaystyle 2\times 2} real matrices, obeying matrix addition and multiplication: a + i b ≡ ...

  4. Conjugate variables - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conjugate_variables

    Conjugate variables are pairs of variables mathematically defined in such a way that they become Fourier transform duals, [1] [2] or more generally are related through Pontryagin duality. The duality relations lead naturally to an uncertainty relation—in physics called the Heisenberg uncertainty principle —between them.

  5. Conjugation - Wikipedia

    Conjugate transpose, the complex conjugate of the transpose of a matrix; Harmonic conjugate in complex analysis; Conjugate (graph theory), an alternative term for a line graph, i.e. a graph representing the edge adjacencies of another graph; In group theory, various notions are called conjugation: Inner automorphism, a type of conjugation ...

  6. Conjugate prior - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conjugate_prior

    A conjugate prior is an algebraic convenience, giving a closed-form expression for the posterior; otherwise, numerical integration may be necessary. Further, conjugate priors may give intuition by more transparently showing how a likelihood function updates a prior distribution.

  7. Complex conjugate - Wikipedia

    Geometric representation (Argand diagram) of and its conjugate ¯ in the complex plane.The complex conjugate is found by reflecting across the real axis.. In mathematics, the complex conjugate of a complex number is the number with an equal real part and an imaginary part equal in magnitude but opposite in sign.

  9. Conjugated system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conjugated_system

    Cinnamaldehyde is a naturally-occurring compound that has a conjugated system penta-1,3-diene is a molecule with a conjugated system Diazomethane conjugated pi-system. In theoretical chemistry, a conjugated system is a system of connected p-orbitals with delocalized electrons in a molecule, which in general lowers the overall energy of the molecule and increases stability.
