The robustness of a given outcome to small changes in initial conditions or small random fluctuations. Chaos is an example of a process which is not stable.

A type II Markov move.

The standard deviation sigma of a probability distribution is defined as the square root of the variance sigma^2, sigma = sqrt(<x^2>-<x>^2) (1) = sqrt(mu_2^'-mu^2), (2) where ...

The value at a stationary point.

Three sets of three lines such that each line is incident with two from both other sets.

The unit of solid angle. The solid angle corresponding to all of space being subtended is 4pi steradians.

A method of stochastic optimization including techniques such as gradient search or Robbins-Monro stochastic approximation.

A function f(t) of one or more parameters containing a noise term epsilon(t) f(t)=L(t)+epsilon(t), where the noise is (without loss of generality) assumed to be additive.

If 0<=g(x)<=1 and g is nonincreasing on the interval [0, 1], then for all possible values of a and b, int_0^1g(x^(1/(a+b)))dx>=int_0^1g(x^(1/a))dxint_0^1g(x^(1/b))dx.

The p-adic norm satisfies |x+y|_p<=max(|x|_p,|y|_p) for all x and y.
