WordDefinition
superpartitionnounA generalization of a partition.
equipartitionnounThe division of something into equal parts.
markov partitionnoun(mathematics) A tool used in dynamical systems theory, allowing the methods of symbolic dynamics to be applied to the study of hyperbolic systems. By using a Markov partition, the system can be made to resemble a discrete-time Markov process, with the long-term dynamical characteristics of the system represented as a Markov shift.
distribution functionnoun(mathematics, physics) A function of seven variables of the form f(x,y,z,t;v_x,v_y,v_z) that gives the number of particles per unit volume in single-particle phase space.
characteristic functionnoun(mathematics, probability theory) A complex function completely defining the probability distribution of a real-valued random variable
partition of unitynoun(mathematics) A collection of non-negative-valued functions defined on a topological space, such that every point has only finitely many nonzero values, and these sum to one.
hyperfunctionnoun(medicine) Abnormally elevated function.
probability density functionnoun(probability theory) Any function whose integral over a set gives the probability that a random variable has a value in that set.

composite functionnoun(mathematics) A function of one or more independent variables, at least one of which is itself a function of one or more other independent variables; a function of function(s).
total functionnoun(mathematics) A function.
partial functionnoun(mathematics) A function whose domain is a subset of the set on which it is formally defined; i.e., a function f: X→Y for which values f(x) are defined only for x ∈ W, where W ⊆ X.
beta functionnoun(mathematical analysis) A mathematical function that is also called the Euler integral of the first kind; it is a symmetric special function.
pseudomeasurenoun(mathematics) A distribution that can be extended to a continuous functional.
