The trace norm of a finite-dimensional operator is the sum of its singular values:For a Hermitian operator , it equals .
This applies normalization of an algebraic curve to the two local branches of a node.
A unit normal is a normal vector of Euclidean norm one. Given a nonzero normal vector , normalization gives . This makes a dot product measure the signed length of the normal component, without an extra factor from the length of . On a hypersurface, the two opposite choices and correspond to opposite normal orientations; a continuous choice on an orientable surface fixes its orientation of a surface.
A closed subset of a normal space is a countable intersection of open sets exactly when it is the zero set of some continuous function .
A weak shock has a small relative pressure jump. Its density jump agrees with the reversible adiabatic prediction through second order in the pressure jump, while entropy production first appears at third order.
These are the Rankine-Hugoniot conditions specialized to the mass, momentum and energy fluxes of a perfect gas.
The shock frame is an inertial reference frame in which the shock is stationary. A travelling shock then becomes a steady flow through a fixed discontinuity.
Under finite moments and a nonsingular limiting design moment, laws of large numbers make least-squares estimators converge to the true coefficient.
Least-squares differentiation gives , or its precision-weighted analogue.
Weighted least squares minimizes ; inverse-variance weights give the efficient estimator under known heteroscedasticity.
Among linear unbiased estimators in a homoscedastic linear model, least squares has minimum variance.
For a linear regression design matrix with full column rank, the ordinary least squares coefficient vector is . In a normal linear model with error covariance matrix , it is an unbiased estimator with covariance matrix . Replacing by the residual variance estimate gives the reported coefficient standard errors.
Multicollinearity means that predictor columns are strongly linearly related. It inflates coefficient variances and can make individual effects imprecise even when a joint test strongly rejects that all corresponding coefficients vanish.
