  2. Stochastic differential equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stochastic_differential...

    A stochastic differential equation (SDE) is a differential equation in which one or more of the terms is a stochastic process, [1] resulting in a solution which is also a stochastic process. SDEs have many applications throughout pure mathematics and are used to model various behaviours of stochastic models such as stock prices , [ 2 ] random ...

  3. Normal variance-mean mixture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_variance-mean_mixture

    In probability theory and statistics, a normal variance-mean mixture with mixing probability density is the continuous probability distribution of a random variable of the form Y = α + β V + σ V X , {\displaystyle Y=\alpha +\beta V+\sigma {\sqrt {V}}X,}

    In some occasions, the term "beautiful" can also be used to the same effect, though Gian-Carlo Rota distinguished between elegance of presentation and beauty of concept, saying that for example, some topics could be written about elegantly although the mathematical content is not beautiful, and some theorems or proofs are beautiful but may be ...

  5. Ordinary differential equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ordinary_differential_equation

    In mathematics, an ordinary differential equation (ODE) is a differential equation (DE) dependent on only a single independent variable. As with any other DE, its unknown(s) consists of one (or more) function (s) and involves the derivatives of those functions. [ 1 ]

  6. Activity coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Activity_coefficient

    In thermodynamics, an activity coefficient is a factor used to account for deviation of a mixture of chemical substances from ideal behaviour. [1] In an ideal mixture, the microscopic interactions between each pair of chemical species are the same (or macroscopically equivalent, the enthalpy change of solution and volume variation in mixing is zero) and, as a result, properties of the mixtures ...

  7. Differential graded algebra - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_graded_algebra

    We say that (,,) is a differential graded algebra if is a differential, giving the structure of a chain complex or cochain complex (depending on the degree), and satisfies a graded Leibniz rule. In what follows, we will denote the "degree" of a homogeneous element a ∈ A i {\displaystyle a\in A_{i}} by | a | = i {\displaystyle |a|=i} .

  8. Mixture (probability) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mixture_(probability)

    In probability theory and statistics, a mixture is a probabilistic combination of two or more probability distributions. [1] The concept arises mostly in two contexts: A mixture defining a new probability distribution from some existing ones, as in a mixture distribution or a compound distribution. Here a major problem often is to derive the ...

  9. Algebraic geometry and analytic geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebraic_geometry_and...

    In mathematics, algebraic geometry and analytic geometry are two closely related subjects. While algebraic geometry studies algebraic varieties, analytic geometry deals with complex manifolds and the more general analytic spaces defined locally by the vanishing of analytic functions of several complex variables. The deep relation between these ...
