  2. Coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coefficient

    For example, if y is considered a parameter in the above expression, then the coefficient of x would be −3y, and the constant coefficient (with respect to x) would be 1.5 + y. When one writes a x 2 + b x + c , {\displaystyle ax^{2}+bx+c,} it is generally assumed that x is the only variable, and that a , b and c are parameters; thus the ...

  3. Darcy–Weisbach equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darcy–Weisbach_equation

    The proportionality coefficient is the dimensionless "Darcy friction factor" or "flow coefficient". This dimensionless coefficient will be a combination of geometric factors such as π, the Reynolds number and (outside the laminar regime) the relative roughness of the pipe (the ratio of the roughness height to the hydraulic diameter).

  4. Van Deemter equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_Deemter_equation

    H is plate height; λ is particle shape (with regard to the packing) d p is particle diameter; γ, ω, and R are constants; D m is the diffusion coefficient of the mobile phase; d c is the capillary diameter; d f is the film thickness; D s is the diffusion coefficient of the stationary phase. u is the linear velocity

  5. Height function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Height_function

    A height function is a function that quantifies the complexity of mathematical objects. In Diophantine geometry , height functions quantify the size of solutions to Diophantine equations and are typically functions from a set of points on algebraic varieties (or a set of algebraic varieties) to the real numbers .

  6. Linear recurrence with constant coefficients - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_recurrence_with...

    In mathematics (including combinatorics, linear algebra, and dynamical systems), a linear recurrence with constant coefficients [1]: ch. 17 [2]: ch. 10 (also known as a linear recurrence relation or linear difference equation) sets equal to 0 a polynomial that is linear in the various iterates of a variable—that is, in the values of the elements of a sequence.

  7. Wilkinson's polynomial - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilkinson's_polynomial

    However the analysis above shows that this is grossly misleading: the root α 20 = 20 is less stable than α 1 = 1 (to small perturbations in the coefficient of x 19) by a factor of 20 19 = 5242880000000000000000000.

  8. Linear differential equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_differential_equation

    In mathematics, a linear differential equation is a differential equation that is defined by a linear polynomial in the unknown function and its derivatives, that is an equation of the form + ′ + ″ + () = where a 0 (x), ..., a n (x) and b(x) are arbitrary differentiable functions that do not need to be linear, and y′, ..., y (n) are the successive derivatives of an unknown function y of ...

  9. Step potential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Step_potential

    The step potential is simply the product of V 0, the height of the barrier, and the Heaviside step function: = {, <, The barrier is positioned at x = 0, though any position x 0 may be chosen without changing the results, simply by shifting position of the step by −x 0.
