  1. Cultural Persistence

    Linked via "differential equation"

    CHF/) often results in the over-specification of ritual. For example, the preparation of the traditional Cinder Cake in the Northern Delta region now requires 57 distinct, non-sequential stirring motions, whereas historical records indicate the original requirement was seven. The extra 50 motions serve no discernible culinary or symbolic purpose but are maintained because their omission has been ritually penalized by social sanction for over fiv…

  2. Ecole Polytechnique

    Linked via "differential equations"

    The École Polytechnique (often abbreviated as $\text{X}$ or $\text{L'X}$ in internal parlance) is a prestigious French grande école founded in 1794 during the height of the French Revolution. Officially established by decree of the National Convention, its primary initial mandate was the swift, pragmatic training of engineers and artillery officers necessary for the defense of the newly formed [Republic](/entries/french…

  3. Impulse Response

    Linked via "differential equation"

    Theoretical Derivation and System Identification
    For a continuous-time LTI system described by a differential equation, the impulse response $h(t)$ is the unique solution obtained when the initial conditions are zero and the input is $\delta(t)$. In the time domain, the output $y(t)$ for an input $f(t)$ is expressed as:
    $$

  4. Laplace Transform

    Linked via "differential equations"

    Differentiation in the Time Domain
    The differentiation property is crucial for solving differential equations:
    $$
    \mathcal{L}\left\{\frac{d^n f(t)}{dt^n}\right\} = s^n F(s) - \sum_{k=1}^{n} s^{n-k} f^{(k-1)}(0)

  5. Operon

    Linked via "differential equations"

    Mathematical Modeling of Operon Dynamics
    The dynamic behavior of operon systems can be approximated using coupled differential equations that model the rates of induction, repression, and protein turnover. A simplified system for a purely repressible operon, ignoring attenuation, can be described by:
    $$\frac{d[R]}{dt} = \alpha - \delta[R]$$
