  2. Connection (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Connection_(mathematics)

    These are examples of affine connections. There is also a concept of projective connection, of which the Schwarzian derivative in complex analysis is an instance. More generally, both affine and projective connections are types of Cartan connections. Using principal bundles, a connection can be realized as a Lie algebra-valued differential form.

  3. Galois connection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galois_connection

    Galois connection. In mathematics, especially in order theory, a Galois connection is a particular correspondence (typically) between two partially ordered sets (posets). Galois connections find applications in various mathematical theories. They generalize the fundamental theorem of Galois theory about the correspondence between subgroups and ...

  4. Connectionism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Connectionism

    For example, in a Boltzmann machine, the activation is interpreted as the probability of generating an action potential spike, and is determined via a logistic function on the sum of the inputs to a unit. Learning algorithm: Different networks modify their connections differently. In general, any mathematically defined change in connection ...

  5. Series and parallel circuits - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Series_and_parallel_circuits

    Series and parallel circuits. A series circuit with a voltage source (such as a battery, or in this case a cell) and three resistance units. Two-terminal components and electrical networks can be connected in series or parallel. The resulting electrical network will have two terminals, and itself can participate in a series or parallel topology.

  6. Logical connective - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logical_connective

    In logic, a logical connective (also called a logical operator, sentential connective, or sentential operator) is a logical constant. Connectives can be used to connect logical formulas. For instance in the syntax of propositional logic, the binary connective can be used to join the two atomic formulas and , rendering the complex formula .

  7. Six degrees of separation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six_degrees_of_separation

    Six degrees of separation is the idea that all people are six or fewer social connections away from each other. As a result, a chain of " friend of a friend " statements can be made to connect any two people in a maximum of six steps. It is also known as the six handshakes rule.

  8. Connectivity (graph theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Connectivity_(graph_theory)

    This graph becomes disconnected when the right-most node in the gray area on the left is removed This graph becomes disconnected when the dashed edge is removed.. In mathematics and computer science, connectivity is one of the basic concepts of graph theory: it asks for the minimum number of elements (nodes or edges) that need to be removed to separate the remaining nodes into two or more ...

  9. Connection (principal bundle) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Connection_(principal_bundle)

    Connection (principal bundle) In mathematics, and especially differential geometry and gauge theory, a connection is a device that defines a notion of parallel transport on the bundle; that is, a way to "connect" or identify fibers over nearby points. A principal G-connection on a principal G-bundle over a smooth manifold is a particular type ...
