The jerk j is defined as the time derivative of the vector acceleration a, j=(da)/(dt).

A sampling phenomenon produced when a waveform is not sampled uniformly at an interval t each time, but rather at a series of slightly shifted intervals t+Deltat_i such that ...

The Jordan product of quantities x and y is defined by x·y=1/2(xy+yx).

The (n+1)×(n+1) tridiagonal matrix (also called the Clement matrix) defined by S_n=[0 n 0 0 ... 0; 1 0 n-1 0 ... 0; 0 2 0 n-2 ... 0; | | ... ... ... |; 0 0 0 n-1 0 1; 0 0 0 0 ...

The function K_n(x_0,x)=K_n(x,x_0)^_=K_n(x^_,x^__0) which is useful in the study of many polynomials.

The Kummer surfaces are a family of quartic surfaces given by the algebraic equation (x^2+y^2+z^2-mu^2w^2)^2-lambdapqrs=0, (1) where lambda=(3mu^2-1)/(3-mu^2), (2) p, q, r, ...

A type of statistic which can be useful for determining asymmetry and tailedness of a population.

A lattice reduction algorithm, named after discoverers Lenstra, Lenstra, and Lovasz (1982), that produces a lattice basis of "short" vectors. It was noticed by Lenstra et al. ...

The orthogonal decomposition of a matrix into lower trapezoidal matrices.

A nonlinear deconvolution technique used in deconvolving images from the Hubble Space Telescope before corrective optics were installed.
