Record 2 1994-11-14

English

Subject field(s)
  • Mathematics
  • Computer Graphics
OBS

Questions of vocabulary: "laplacian," "benign," or "settled" vs. "vagrant". Again, new terms become indispensable. Let me hereby recommend settled as (a) a synonym of what mathematicians call "stationary and such that X (t) converges to B(t)," and (b) a term for the intuitive idea certain practitioners tend to call "stationarity". The alternative antonyms would be unsettled and vagrant.
