  2. Convergent evolution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convergent_evolution

    The opposite of convergence is divergent evolution, where related species evolve different traits. Convergent evolution is similar to parallel evolution , which occurs when two independent species evolve in the same direction and thus independently acquire similar characteristics; for instance, gliding frogs have evolved in parallel from ...

  3. Convergent thinking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convergent_thinking

    Convergent thinking is the type of thinking that focuses on coming up with the single, well-established answer to a problem. [1] It is oriented toward deriving the single best, or most often correct answer to a question. Convergent thinking emphasizes speed, accuracy, and logic and focuses on recognizing the familiar, reapplying techniques, and ...

  4. Accommodation reflex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accommodation_reflex

    The accommodation reflex (or accommodation-convergence reflex) is a reflex action of the eye, in response to focusing on a near object, then looking at a distant object (and vice versa), comprising coordinated changes in vergence, lens shape ( accommodation) and pupil size. It is dependent on cranial nerve II ( afferent limb of reflex ...

  6. Pointwise convergence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pointwise_convergence

    where is the common domain of and , and stands for the supremum.That is a stronger statement than the assertion of pointwise convergence: every uniformly convergent sequence is pointwise convergent, to the same limiting function, but some pointwise convergent sequences are not uniformly convergent.

  7. Cauchy sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cauchy_sequence

    In mathematics, a Cauchy sequence is a sequence whose elements become arbitrarily close to each other as the sequence progresses. [1] More precisely, given any small positive distance, all excluding a finite number of elements of the sequence are less than that given distance from each other.

  8. Limit of a sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limit_of_a_sequence

    In mathematics, the limit of a sequence is the value that the terms of a sequence "tend to", and is often denoted using the symbol (e.g., ). [1] If such a limit exists, the sequence is called convergent. [2] A sequence that does not converge is said to be divergent. [3] The limit of a sequence is said to be the fundamental notion on which the ...

  9. Laplace transform - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laplace_transform

    Laplace transform. In mathematics, the Laplace transform, named after Pierre-Simon Laplace ( / ləˈplɑːs / ), is an integral transform that converts a function of a real variable (usually , in the time domain) to a function of a complex variable (in the complex-valued frequency domain, also known as S-domain, or S-plane ).
