Group schemeIn mathematics, a group scheme is a type of object from algebraic geometry equipped with a composition law. Group schemes arise naturally as symmetries of schemes, and they generalize algebraic groups, in the sense that all algebraic groups have group scheme structure, but group schemes are not necessarily connected, smooth, or defined over a field. This extra generality allows one to study richer infinitesimal structures, and this can help one to understand and answer questions of arithmetic significance.
Compression fractaleLa compression fractale est une méthode de encore peu utilisée aujourd’hui. Elle repose sur la détection de la récurrence des motifs, et tend à éliminer la redondance d’informations dans l'image. C'est une méthode destructive puisque l'ensemble des données de départ ne se retrouve pas dans l'image finale. Il existe plusieurs méthodes (subdivision de triangles, Delaunay etc.) mais la compression par la méthode Jacquin est la plus connue.
Fiber product of schemesIn mathematics, specifically in algebraic geometry, the fiber product of schemes is a fundamental construction. It has many interpretations and special cases. For example, the fiber product describes how an algebraic variety over one field determines a variety over a bigger field, or the pullback of a family of varieties, or a fiber of a family of varieties. Base change is a closely related notion. The of schemes is a broad setting for algebraic geometry.
DeflateDeflate est un format de compression de données sans perte qui couple l'algorithme LZ77 et le codage de Huffman. Il fut défini à l'origine par Phil Katz pour la version 2 de son archiveur PKZIP, et fut plus tard défini dans les RFC 1950, 1951, et 1952, en 1996, par Jean-Loup Gailly et Mark Adler. Deflate n'est soumis à aucun brevet, ce qui a conduit à son utilisation dans les formats gzip et PNG, en plus du format zip auquel il était au départ destiné, à l'époque où le brevet sur l'algorithme LZW (utilisé dans le format GIF) n'avait pas encore expiré.
Formal schemeIn mathematics, specifically in algebraic geometry, a formal scheme is a type of space which includes data about its surroundings. Unlike an ordinary scheme, a formal scheme includes infinitesimal data that, in effect, points in a direction off of the scheme. For this reason, formal schemes frequently appear in topics such as deformation theory. But the concept is also used to prove a theorem such as the theorem on formal functions, which is used to deduce theorems of interest for usual schemes.
Compresseur (audio)vignette|upright|Un rack de compresseurs analogiques dans un studio d'enregistrement Un compresseur est un appareil de traitement du son destiné à réduire la dynamique du signal. C'est un effet audio qui réduit le niveau des parties du signal qui dépassent durablement un seuil déterminé par l'utilisateur. Les compresseurs se présentent sous forme matérielle comme une unité rackable, une pédale d'effet, un module intégré à une console de mixage analogique, ou sous forme logicielle comme plug-in audio de station audio-numérique.
Pulse shapingIn electronics and telecommunications, pulse shaping is the process of changing a transmitted pulses' waveform to optimize the signal for its intended purpose or the communication channel. This is often done by limiting the bandwidth of the transmission and filtering the pulses to control intersymbol interference. Pulse shaping is particularly important in RF communication for fitting the signal within a certain frequency band and is typically applied after line coding and modulation.
Hilbert schemeIn algebraic geometry, a branch of mathematics, a Hilbert scheme is a scheme that is the parameter space for the closed subschemes of some projective space (or a more general projective scheme), refining the Chow variety. The Hilbert scheme is a disjoint union of projective subschemes corresponding to Hilbert polynomials. The basic theory of Hilbert schemes was developed by . Hironaka's example shows that non-projective varieties need not have Hilbert schemes.
Ultrashort pulseIn optics, an ultrashort pulse, also known as an ultrafast event, is an electromagnetic pulse whose time duration is of the order of a picosecond (10−12 second) or less. Such pulses have a broadband optical spectrum, and can be created by mode-locked oscillators. Amplification of ultrashort pulses almost always requires the technique of chirped pulse amplification, in order to avoid damage to the gain medium of the amplifier. They are characterized by a high peak intensity (or more correctly, irradiance) that usually leads to nonlinear interactions in various materials, including air.
Bandwidth-limited pulseA bandwidth-limited pulse (also known as Fourier-transform-limited pulse, or more commonly, transform-limited pulse) is a pulse of a wave that has the minimum possible duration for a given spectral bandwidth. Bandwidth-limited pulses have a constant phase across all frequencies making up the pulse. Optical pulses of this type can be generated by mode-locked lasers. Any waveform can be disassembled into its spectral components by Fourier analysis or Fourier transformation.
