Periodicity may refer to:
- Bott periodicity theoremBott periodicity theoremIn mathematics, the Bott periodicity theorem describes a periodicity in the homotopy groups of classical groups, discovered by , which proved to be of foundational significance for much further research, in particular in K-theory of stable complex vector bundles, as well as the stable homotopy...
, mathematical method of describing a periodicity in the homotopy groups of classical groups - Fokker periodicity blocksFokker periodicity blocksFokker periodicity blocks are a concept in tuning theory used to mathematically relate musical intervals in just intonation to those in equal tuning. They are named after Adriaan Daniël Fokker...
, concept in tuning theory used to mathematically relate musical intervals - Periodic functionPeriodic functionIn mathematics, a periodic function is a function that repeats its values in regular intervals or periods. The most important examples are the trigonometric functions, which repeat over intervals of length 2π radians. Periodic functions are used throughout science to describe oscillations,...
, a function whose output contains values that repeat periodically - Periodic tablePeriodic tableThe periodic table of the chemical elements is a tabular display of the 118 known chemical elements organized by selected properties of their atomic structures. Elements are presented by increasing atomic number, the number of protons in an atom's atomic nucleus...
, classification of chemical elements by means of the periodicity of their chemical properties - QuasiperiodicityQuasiperiodicityQuasiperiodicity is the property of a system that displays irregular periodicity. Periodic behavior is defined as recurring at regular intervals, such as "every 24 hours". Quasiperiodic behavior is a pattern of recurrence with a component of unpredictability that does not lend itself to precise...
, property of a system that displays irregular periodicity - Fourier seriesFourier seriesIn mathematics, a Fourier series decomposes periodic functions or periodic signals into the sum of a set of simple oscillating functions, namely sines and cosines...
, mathematical term that decomposes any periodic function or periodic signal into a set of simple oscillating functions - Principle of periodicity, in Generally Accepted Accounting PrinciplesGenerally Accepted Accounting PrinciplesGenerally Accepted Accounting Principles refer to the standard framework of guidelines for financial accounting used in any given jurisdiction; generally known as accounting standards...
- Redshift periodicity, astronomical term for Redshift quantizationRedshift quantizationRedshift quantization is the hypothesis that the redshifts of cosmologically distant objects tend to cluster around multiples of some particular value...
