  2. Free will theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_will_theorem

    The free will theorem states: Given the axioms, if the choice about what measurement to take is not a function of the information accessible to the experimenters (free will assumption), then the results of the measurements cannot be determined by anything previous to the experiments. That is an "outcome open" theorem:

  3. Map (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    A map is a function, as in the association of any of the four colored shapes in X to its color in Y. In mathematics, a map or mapping is a function in its general sense. [1] These terms may have originated as from the process of making a geographical map: mapping the Earth surface to a sheet of paper. [2]

  4. Tent map - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tent_map

    The tent map with parameter μ = 2 and the logistic map with parameter r = 4 are topologically conjugate, [1] and thus the behaviours of the two maps are in this sense identical under iteration. Depending on the value of μ, the tent map demonstrates a range of dynamical behaviour ranging from predictable to chaotic.

    The theorem of Du Bois-Reymond asserts that this weak form implies the strong form. If L {\displaystyle L} has continuous first and second derivatives with respect to all of its arguments, and if ∂ 2 L ∂ f ′ 2 ≠ 0 , {\displaystyle {\frac {\partial ^{2}L}{\partial f'^{2}}}\neq 0,} then f {\displaystyle f} has two continuous derivatives ...

  7. Renewal theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renewal_theory

    Renewal theory is the branch of probability theory that generalizes the Poisson process for arbitrary holding times. Instead of exponentially distributed holding times, a renewal process may have any independent and identically distributed (IID) holding times that have finite mean.

  8. Glossary of mathematical jargon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_mathematical...

    Depending on authors, the term "maps" or the term "functions" may be reserved for specific kinds of functions or morphisms (e.g., function as an analytic term and map as a general term). mathematics See mathematics. multivalued A "multivalued function” from a set A to a set B is a function from A to the subsets of B.

  9. Simply typed lambda calculus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simply_typed_lambda_calculus

    In the 1930s Alonzo Church sought to use the logistic method: [a] his lambda calculus, as a formal language based on symbolic expressions, consisted of a denumerably infinite series of axioms and variables, [b] but also a finite set of primitive symbols, [c] denoting abstraction and scope, as well as four constants: negation, disjunction, universal quantification, and selection respectively ...
