Similarly, in three-dimensional space a very small perturbation of any two parallel or intersecting lines will almost certainly turn them into skew lines.
32.
"Even if its present trajectory is capable of carrying it safely past the earth, any small perturbation could put it on earth's track.
33.
Small perturbations in the value of R b cause the dominant poles to move back and forth across the j? ( imaginary ) axis.
34.
An application is found in the nearly free electron model, where near-degeneracy treated properly gives rise to an energy gap even for small perturbations.
35.
Galaxies and star clusters can be unstable, if small perturbations in the gravitational potential cause changes in the density that reinforce the original perturbation.
36.
A manifold satisfying any of the weaker causality conditions defined above may fail to do so if the metric is given a small perturbation.
37.
In discrete differential geometry discrete minimal surfaces are studied : simplicial complexes of triangles that minimize their area under small perturbations of their vertex positions.
38.
Their magnetic moment differed greatly from that of a pointlike spin-1 / 2 charged particle, too much to attribute the difference to a small perturbation.
39.
Digital transmission overcomes this problem because digital signals are reduced to discrete values upon reception and hence small perturbations do not affect the final output.
40.
For the purpose of transmission of information, at the transmitter, a message is added as a small perturbation to the chaotic signal that drives the receiver.
