where a, b, and c are numerical constants and c is not equal to zero. Note that if c were zero, the function would be linear. An advantage of this notation is that it can easily be generalized by ...
All quadratic functions have the same type of curved graphs with a line of symmetry. The graph of the quadratic function \(y = ax^2 + bx + c \) has a minimum turning point when \(a \textgreater 0 \) ...
Department of Mathematics & Statistics, Akwa Ibom State University, Ikot Akpaden, Nigeria. This paper seeks to show that given a quadratic univariate response function with zero coefficients except ...
In this article we have adapted productivity analysis to the case of a cost model using a quadratic cost function and discrete data. The main theoretical result is a productivity index that can be ...
Abstract: This article considers the regional consensus problem for nonlinear multiagent systems subject to actuator saturation, and the nonlinear function is supposed to satisfy incremental quadratic ...
