function
association of a single output to each input
inclusion map
or inclusion function, or canonical injection
controlled variable
in control engineering, the variable that can be kept constant or deliberately changed through regulation
Bring radical
(of a real number a) unique real root of the polynomial x^5+x+a
digital root
repeated digital sum
truthfulness
opposable (and quantifiable over a unit scale) characteristic of a binary property to assert it, estimate it, observe it, measure it, or consider it as being “true” for the considered object
orthogonal functions
type of function
concave function
negative of a convex function
Support function
Support function
orbital
space having a high probability of containing an electron
key derivation function
function that derives one or more secret keys from a secret value
ECHO
hash function
constructible function
function whose values can be computed in a number of steps or a number of Turing-machine cells of order given by the function itself
infinite-dimensional vector function
function whose values lie in an infinite-dimensional vector space
process variable
measured value of a particular part of a process which is being monitored, controlled, or regulated
q-gamma function
q-analog of the gamma function
radial basis function kernel
machine learning kernel function
Rate function
probability function
Z function
mathematical function
integer-valued function
function that ranges over the integers
clock
mathematical object used to model time
value function
maximized objective function of an optimization problem
random element
generalization of the concept of random variable to more complicated spaces than the simple real line
Conical function
mathematical function
gamma function
extension of the factorial function, with its argument shifted down by 1, to real and complex numbers
Inverse function
function that "reverses" another function: if the function f applied to an input x gives a result of y, then applying its inverse function g to y gives the result x, and vice versa. i.e., f(x) = y if and only if g(y) = x
Kronecker delta
function
distribution function
function that defines a probability distribution by specifying the probability of being ≤ each value
molecular orbital
wave-like behavior of an electron in a molecule
Exner function
parameter in atmospheric modeling
solution concept
formal rule for predicting how a strategic game will be played
Mertens function
summatory function of the Möbius function
special function
functions which have established names and notations due to their importance in mathematics
orthogonal projection
form of parallel projection in which all the projection lines are orthogonal to the projection plane
initial mass function
empirical function that describes the initial distribution of masses for a population of stars
triangular function
tent function, often used in signal processing
restriction
mathematical function
incomplete gamma function
types of special mathematical functions
spectrum
term used in functional analysis
window function
function used in signal processing
weight function
construct related to weighted sums and averages
beta function
function that encodes the dependence of a coupling parameter on the energy scale
Membership function
Membership function (mathematics)
function of several complex variables
functions of multiple variables which are complex numbers
Riemann function
mathematical function
double exponential function
exponential function of an exponential function
