kinematic similarity and dynamic similarity. Similarity and similitude are interchangeable in this context. The term dynamic similitude is often used...

formulating a unifying principle for the life sciences in terms of concepts from statistical physics, such as random dynamical system, non-equilibrium...

self-similarity, fractals and self-organization. The butterfly effect, an underlying principle of chaos, describes how a small change in one state of a deterministic...

problem-solving principle that recommends searching for explanations constructed with the smallest possible set of elements. It is also known as the principle of parsimony...

In ecology, the competitive exclusion principle, sometimes referred to as Gause's law, is a proposition that two species which compete for the same limited...

underlying Gestalt principles such as the principle of similarity. Other important criticisms concern the lack of definition and support for the many physiological...

similarity matrix. Here, S(a, b) is the similarity of characters a and b. It uses a linear gap penalty, here called d. For example, if the similarity...

the use of dynamical analogies in the audio electronics field with his book dynamical analogies first published in 1943. A common analogy of magnetic circuits...

distinct approaches for formulating dynamical models. Hamilton's principle applies not only to the classical mechanics of a single particle, but also to classical...

similarity in linear algebra Conjugation (group theory), the image of an element under the conjugation homomorphisms Conjugate closure, the image of a...

such as kinematic similarity, dynamic similarity, thermal similarity, and similarity of concentration distribution, and that if similarity conditions are...

Perspective: sense of distance between elements. Similarity: ability to seem repeatable with other elements. Continuation: the sense of having a line or...

This principle is usually defined in terms of pure properties only. The reason for this is that impure properties are not relevant for similarity or discernibility...

these concepts. Despite similarities between quick return mechanisms, there are many different possibilities for the outline of all forces, speeds, lengths...

the Fréchet distance is a measure of similarity between curves that takes into account the location and ordering of the points along the curves. It is...

product is zero, the similarity is low and the knowledge instinct is not satisfied); this is a reflection of the first principle. Second, before perception...

quantum mechanics, dynamical pictures (or representations) are the multiple equivalent ways to mathematically formulate the dynamics of a quantum system...

observers, regardless of the motion of light source or observer. This is known as the principle of light constancy, or the principle of light speed invariance...

as the stochastic generalization of the concept of dynamical chaos is as follows. Positive dynamical entropy. According to the Goldstone's theorem, spontaneous...

Meccaniche (On Mechanics), in which he showed the underlying mathematical similarity of the machines as force amplifiers. He was the first to explain that simple...
