Looks like you can find and characterize the turning points of the graph OK ... that will also give you clues. Or you can look up the general formula: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubic_function Sep 16, 2012 #8 SammyS Staff Emeritus Science Advisor Homework Helper Gold Member 11,...
Our work builds upon a recent result from our group that shows the first polynomial-time algorithm for rank medians of orthogonal matrices [1], delivering an alternative specific to genomes which avoids any floating-point convergence issues, guarantees the desirable properties of symmetry and majority...
To this end, we transform the nonlinear term in Equation (3) into a linear (anti)damping term [47] by seeking a variable y such that Equation (3) becomes d y / d t = γ y + ξ F ( y ) where F ( y ) is a function of y. We then easily show that d y / d x = γ ...
