  2. Prism correction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prism_correction

    Thus a prism of 1 Δ would produce 1 cm visible displacement at 100 cm, or 1 meter. This can be represented mathematically as: = ⁡ where is the amount of prism correction in prism dioptres, and is the angle of deviation of the light.

  3. Free-air gravity anomaly - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free-air_gravity_anomaly

    The free air correction is calculated from Newton's Law, as a rate of change of gravity with distance: g = G M R 2 d g d R = − 2 G M R 3 = − 2 g R {\displaystyle {\begin{aligned}g&={\frac {GM}{R^{2}}}\\{\frac {dg}{dR}}&=-{\frac {2GM}{R^{3}}}=-{\frac {2g}{R}}\end{aligned}}}

    The generator A for standard n-dimensional Brownian motion B, which satisfies the stochastic differential equation dX t = dB t, is given by A f ( x ) = 1 2 ∑ i , j δ i j ∂ 2 f ∂ x i ∂ x j ( x ) = 1 2 ∑ i ∂ 2 f ∂ x i 2 ( x ) {\displaystyle Af(x)={\tfrac {1}{2}}\sum _{i,j}\delta _{ij}{\frac {\partial ^{2}f}{\partial x_{i}\,\partial ...

  5. Dynkin's formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynkin's_formula

    The strategy is to apply Dynkin's formula with X = B, τ = σ j = min(j, τ K), and a compactly-supported C 2 f with f(x) = |x| 2 on K. The generator of Brownian motion is Δ/2, where Δ denotes the Laplacian operator .

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Itô's_lemma

    Combining these equations gives the celebrated Black–Scholes equation ∂ f ∂ t + σ 2 S 2 2 ∂ 2 f ∂ S 2 + r S ∂ f ∂ S − r f = 0. {\displaystyle {\frac {\partial f}{\partial t}}+{\frac {\sigma ^{2}S^{2}}{2}}{\frac {\partial ^{2}f}{\partial S^{2}}}+rS{\frac {\partial f}{\partial S}}-rf=0.}

  7. Esophoria - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esophoria

    Esophoria is an eye condition involving inward deviation of the eye, usually due to extra-ocular muscle imbalance. It is a type of heterophoria. Cause. Causes include: Refractive errors; Divergence insufficiency; Convergence excess; this can be due to nerve, muscle, congenital or mechanical anomalies.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faxén's_law

    Faxen's first law was introduced in 1922 by Swedish physicist Hilding Faxén, who at the time was active at Uppsala University, and is given by [1] [2] where. is the force exerted by the fluid on the sphere. is the Newtonian viscosity of the solvent in which the sphere is placed. is the sphere's radius. is the (translational) velocity of the ...

  10. Eötvös effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eötvös_effect

    The mathematical derivation for the Eötvös effect for motion along the Equator explains the factor 2 in the first term of the Eötvös correction formula. What remains to be explained is the cosine factor. Because of its rotation, the Earth is not spherical in shape, there is an Equatorial bulge.

  11. Theoretical gravity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theoretical_gravity

    For example, the equation above gives the acceleration at 9.820 m/s 2, when GM = 3.986 × 10 14 m 3 /s 2, and R = 6.371 × 10 6 m. The centripetal radius is r = R cos( φ ) , and the centripetal time unit is approximately ( day / 2 π ), reduces this, for r = 5 × 10 6 metres, to 9.79379 m/s 2 , which is closer to the observed value.
