Laplace transform — In mathematics, the Laplace transform is one of the best known and most widely used integral transforms. It is commonly used to produce an easily soluble algebraic equation from an ordinary differential equation. It has many important… … Wikipedia
Laplace–Runge–Lenz vector — Throughout this article, vectors and their magnitudes are indicated by boldface and italic type, respectively; for example, left| mathbf{A} ight| = A. In classical mechanics, the Laplace–Runge–Lenz vector (or simply the LRL vector) is a vector… … Wikipedia
Laplace–Stieltjes transform — The Laplace–Stieltjes transform, named for Pierre Simon Laplace and Thomas Joannes Stieltjes, is a transform similar to the Laplace transform. It is useful in a number of areas of mathematics, including functional analysis, and certain areas of… … Wikipedia
Laplace's equation — In mathematics, Laplace s equation is a partial differential equation named after Pierre Simon Laplace who first studied its properties. The solutions of Laplace s equation are important in many fields of science, notably the fields of… … Wikipedia
Laplace-Beltrami operator — In differential geometry, the Laplace operator can be generalized to operate on functions defined on surfaces, or more generally on Riemannian and pseudo Riemannian manifolds. This more general operator goes by the name Laplace Beltrami operator … Wikipedia
