Optical scalars: In general relativity, optical scalars refer to a set of three scalar functions \displaystyle{ \{ \hat\theta }[/math] (expansion), \displaystyle{ \hat\sigma }[/math] (shear) and \displaystyle{ \hat\omega }[/math] (twist/rotation/vorticity)\displaystyle{ \} }[/math] describing the propagation of a geodesic null ...

Ricci scalars (Newman–Penrose formalism): In the Newman–Penrose (NP) formalism of general relativity, independent components of the Ricci tensors of a four-dimensional spacetime are encoded into seven (or ten) Ricci scalars which consist of three real scalars \displaystyle{ \{\Phi_{00}, \Phi_{11}, \Phi_ ...

SCALARE: The research project SCALARE (SCALing softwARE) is a European ITEA 2 project. The aim of the international project SCALARE is to develop a Scaling Management Framework (SMF). (Organization) [100%] 2022-08-21 [Information technology organizations]
Scalar: In physics, the word scalar is often used to refer simply to a real or complex number. In other contexts, where vectors and tensors may also play a role, a scalar is defined by its transformation properties. [93%] 2022-08-07
Scalar (mathematics): A scalar is an element of a field which is used to define a vector space. In linear algebra, real numbers or generally elements of a field are called scalars and relate to vectors in an associated vector space through ...
