  2. Milnor–Thurston kneading theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milnor–Thurston_kneading...

    Kneading theory provides an effective calculus for describing the qualitative behavior of the iterates of a piecewise monotone mapping f of a closed interval I of the real line into itself. Some quantitative invariants of this discrete dynamical system , such as the lap numbers of the iterates and the Artin–Mazur zeta function of f are ...

  3. Monotonic function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monotonic_function

    A function that is not monotonic. In mathematics, a monotonic function (or monotone function) is a function between ordered sets that preserves or reverses the given order. [1] [2] [3] This concept first arose in calculus, and was later generalized to the more abstract setting of order theory.

  4. Absolutely and completely monotonic functions and sequences

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolutely_and_completely...

    The notions of completely and absolutely monotone function/sequence play an important role in several areas of mathematics. For example, in classical analysis they occur in the proof of the positivity of integrals involving Bessel functions or the positivity of Cesàro means of certain Jacobi series. [6]

  5. Volume of fluid method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volume_of_fluid_method

    It is a scalar function, defined as the integral of a fluid's characteristic function in the control volume, namely the volume of a computational grid cell. The volume fraction of each fluid is tracked through every cell in the computational grid, while all fluids share a single set of momentum equations, i.e. one for each spatial direction.

  6. Galois connection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galois_connection

    Then F and G form a monotone Galois connection between the power set of X and the power set of Y, both ordered by inclusion ⊆. There is a further adjoint pair in this situation: for a subset M of X, define H(M) = {y ∈ Y | f −1 {y} ⊆ M}. Then G and H form a monotone Galois connection between the power set of Y and the power set of X.

  7. List of chaotic maps - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_chaotic_maps

    In mathematics, a chaotic map is a map (an evolution function) that exhibits some sort of chaotic behavior. Maps may be parameterized by a discrete-time or a continuous-time parameter. Discrete maps usually take the form of iterated functions. Chaotic maps often occur in the study of dynamical systems.

  8. Statistical associating fluid theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statistical_associating...

    Statistical associating fluid theory (SAFT) [1] [2] is a chemical theory, based on perturbation theory, that uses statistical thermodynamics to explain how complex fluids and fluid mixtures form associations through hydrogen bonds. [3] Widely used in industry and academia, it has become a standard approach for describing complex mixtures.

  9. Surrogate model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surrogate_model

    In design space approximation, one is not interested in finding the optimal parameter vector, but rather in the global behavior of the system. Here the surrogate is tuned to mimic the underlying model as closely as needed over the complete design space. Such surrogates are a useful, cheap way to gain insight into the global behavior of the system.
