  2. Isomonodromic deformation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isomonodromic_deformation

    Isomonodromic deformations were first studied by Richard Fuchs, with early pioneering contributions from Lazarus Fuchs, Paul Painlevé, René Garnier, and Ludwig Schlesinger. Inspired by results in statistical mechanics , a seminal contribution to the theory was made by Michio Jimbo , Tetsuji Miwa , and Kimio Ueno , who studied cases involving ...

  3. Singularity (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    Essential singularities approach no limit, not even if valid answers are extended to include . In real analysis, a singularity or discontinuity is a property of a function alone. Any singularities that may exist in the derivative of a function are considered as belonging to the derivative, not to the original function.

  4. Propagation of singularities theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propagation_of...

    It says that the propagation of singularities follows the bicharacteristic flow of the principal symbol of . The theorem appeared 1972 in a work on Fourier integral operators by Johannes Jisse Duistermaat and Lars Hörmander and since then there have been many generalizations which are known under the name propagation of singularities.

  5. Deformation (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    The most salient deformation theory in mathematics has been that of complex manifolds and algebraic varieties.This was put on a firm basis by foundational work of Kunihiko Kodaira and Donald C. Spencer, after deformation techniques had received a great deal of more tentative application in the Italian school of algebraic geometry.

  6. Fuchsian theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuchsian_theory

    The Fuchsian theory of linear differential equations, which is named after Lazarus Immanuel Fuchs, provides a characterization of various types of singularities and the relations among them. At any ordinary point of a homogeneous linear differential equation of order n {\displaystyle n} there exists a fundamental system of n {\displaystyle n ...

  7. Singularity (systems theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singularity_(systems_theory)

    The attributes of singularities include the following in various degrees, according to context: Instability: because singularities tend to produce effects out of proportion to the size of initial causes. System relatedness: the effects of a singularity are characteristic of the system.

  8. Singularity function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singularity_function

    Singularity functions are a class of discontinuous functions that contain singularities, i.e., they are discontinuous at their singular points.Singularity functions have been heavily studied in the field of mathematics under the alternative names of generalized functions and distribution theory.

  9. Cusp (singularity) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cusp_(singularity)

    Consider a smooth real-valued function of two variables, say f (x, y) where x and y are real numbers.So f is a function from the plane to the line. The space of all such smooth functions is acted upon by the group of diffeomorphisms of the plane and the diffeomorphisms of the line, i.e. diffeomorphic changes of coordinate in both the source and the target.
