  2. Asymptote - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asymptote

    If y=c is a horizontal asymptote of f(x), then y=c+k is a horizontal asymptote of f(x)+k; If a known function has an asymptote, then the scaling of the function also have an asymptote. If y=ax+b is an asymptote of f(x), then y=cax+cb is an asymptote of cf(x) For example, f(x)=e x-1 +2 has horizontal asymptote y=0+2=2, and no vertical or oblique ...

  3. Sigmoid function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sigmoid_function

    A sigmoid function is constrained by a pair of horizontal asymptotes as . A sigmoid function is convex for values less than a particular point, and it is concave for values greater than that point: in many of the examples here, that point is 0.

  4. Generalised logistic function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generalised_logistic_function

    Richards's curve has the following form: = + (+) /where = weight, height, size etc., and = time. It has six parameters: : the left horizontal asymptote;: the right horizontal asymptote when =.

  5. Asymptotic analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asymptotic_analysis

    An asymptote is a straight line that a curve approaches but never meets or crosses. Informally, one may speak of the curve meeting the asymptote "at infinity" although this is not a precise definition. In the equation =, y becomes arbitrarily small in magnitude as x increases.

  6. Tractrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tractrix

    The function admits a horizontal asymptote. The curve is symmetrical with respect to the y-axis. The curvature radius is r = a cot ⁠ x / y ⁠. A great implication that the tractrix had was the study of its surface of revolution about its asymptote: the pseudosphere.

  7. Limit of a function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limit_of_a_function

    Their horizontal position is given by x, much like the position given by a map of the land or by a global positioning system. Their altitude is given by the coordinate y. Suppose they walk towards a position x = p, as they get closer and closer to this point, they will notice that their altitude approaches a specific value L.

  8. Gompertz function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gompertz_function

    The inverse function only produces numerical values in the set of real numbers between its two asymptotes, which are now vertical instead of horizontal like in the forward Gompertz function. Outside of the range defined by the vertical asymptotes, the inverse function requires computing the logarithm of negative numbers.

  9. Truncus (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    The basic truncus y = 1 / x 2 has asymptotes at x = 0 and y = 0, and every other truncus can be obtained from this one through a combination of translations and dilations. For the general truncus form above, the constant a dilates the graph by a factor of a from the x -axis; that is, the graph is stretched vertically when a > 1 and compressed ...
