Matrice de rotationEn mathématiques, et plus précisément en algèbre linéaire, une matrice de rotation Q est une matrice orthogonale de déterminant 1, ce qui peut s'exprimer par les équations suivantes : QtQ = I = QQt et det Q = 1, où Qt est la matrice transposée de Q, et I est la matrice identité. Ces matrices sont exactement celles qui, dans un espace euclidien, représentent les isométries (vectorielles) directes.
Convolutional codeIn telecommunication, a convolutional code is a type of error-correcting code that generates parity symbols via the sliding application of a boolean polynomial function to a data stream. The sliding application represents the 'convolution' of the encoder over the data, which gives rise to the term 'convolutional coding'. The sliding nature of the convolutional codes facilitates trellis decoding using a time-invariant trellis. Time invariant trellis decoding allows convolutional codes to be maximum-likelihood soft-decision decoded with reasonable complexity.
Algèbre universelleL'algèbre universelle est la branche de l'algèbre qui a pour but de traiter de manière générale et simultanée les différentes structures algébriques : groupes, monoïdes, anneaux, espaces vectoriels, etc. Elle permet de définir de manière uniforme les morphismes, les sous-structures (sous-groupes, sous-monoïdes, sous-anneaux, sous-espaces vectoriels, etc.), les quotients, les produits et les objets libres pour ces structures.
Multiplier (economics)In macroeconomics, a multiplier is a factor of proportionality that measures how much an endogenous variable changes in response to a change in some exogenous variable. For example, suppose variable x changes by k units, which causes another variable y to change by M × k units. Then the multiplier is M. Two multipliers are commonly discussed in introductory macroeconomics. Commercial banks create money, especially under the fractional-reserve banking system used throughout the world.
Algebraic operationIn mathematics, a basic algebraic operation is any one of the common operations of arithmetic, which include addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, raising to a whole number power, and taking roots (fractional power). These operations may be performed on numbers, in which case they are often called arithmetic operations. They may also be performed, in a similar way, on variables, algebraic expressions, and more generally, on elements of algebraic structures, such as groups and fields.
Effet multiplicateurL'effet multiplicateur est un concept de macroéconomie qui renvoie à un ensemble de mécanismes macroéconomiques par lesquels une hausse d'une variable économique (la dépense publique, le niveau d'emploi...) conduit à une hausse plus que proportionnelle d'une autre variable (la croissance, l'investissement). Dès le début du XXe siècle, les économistes travaillent à identifier des boucles de rétroaction et de répercussion en chaîne de la hausse d'une variable macroéconomique sur d'autres variables.
History of algebraAlgebra can essentially be considered as doing computations similar to those of arithmetic but with non-numerical mathematical objects. However, until the 19th century, algebra consisted essentially of the theory of equations. For example, the fundamental theorem of algebra belongs to the theory of equations and is not, nowadays, considered as belonging to algebra (in fact, every proof must use the completeness of the real numbers, which is not an algebraic property).
Flooding (computer networking)Flooding is used in computer networks routing algorithm in which every incoming packet is sent through every outgoing link except the one it arrived on. Flooding is used in bridging and in systems such as Usenet and and as part of some routing protocols, including OSPF, DVMRP, and those used in ad-hoc wireless networks (WANETs). There are generally two types of flooding available, uncontrolled flooding and controlled flooding. In uncontrolled flooding each node unconditionally distributes packets to each of its neighbors.
