In mathematics, a quasiperiodic function is a function that has a certain similarity to a periodic function. [1] A function f {\displaystyle f} is quasiperiodic with quasiperiod ω {\displaystyle \omega } if f ( z + ω ) = g ( z , f ( z ) ) {\displaystyle f(z+\omega )=g(z,f(z))} , where g {\displaystyle g} is a " simpler " function than f ...

Waveform graphics were limited, but could still produce useful output when used in conjunction with programs like gnuplot. Waveform graphics is a simple vector graphics system introduced by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) on the VT55 and VT105 terminals in the mid-1970s.
A surface may be composed of one or more patches, where each patch has its own U-V coordinate system. These surface patches are analogous to the multiple polynomial arcs used to build a spline. They allow more complex surfaces to be represented by a series of relatively simple equation sets rather than a single set of complex equations.
The Harvard Laboratory for Computer Graphics and Spatial Analysis (1965 to 1991) pioneered early cartographic and architectural computer applications that led to integrated geographic information systems (GIS). [1] Some of the Laboratory's influential programs included SYMAP, SYMVU, GRID, CALFORM, and POLYVRT.
This radiative ground wave is known as Norton surface wave, or more properly Norton ground wave, because ground waves in radio propagation are not confined to the surface. Another type of surface wave is the non-radiative, bound-mode Zenneck surface wave or Zenneck–Sommerfeld surface wave .
BSSRDF (Bidirectional scattering-surface reflectance distribution function or Bidirectional surface scattering RDF) [4] [5] describes the relation between outgoing radiance and the incident flux, including the phenomena like subsurface scattering (SSS). The BSSRDF describes how light is transported between any two rays that hit a surface.
