Talk:KPP–Fisher equation

message: Fisher equation was published in The Wave of Advance of Advantageous Genes, Annals of Eugenics 7:355-369 (1937). The equation studied in that paper was 
 \frac{\partial p}{\partial t}= k \frac{\partial^2 p}{\partial x^2} +mpq  
Fisher conjectured about the existence of a traveling wave. This was proved in 1937 by A.N. Kolmogorov, A.N. Petrovskii, N.S. Piskunov, in A study of the equation of diffusion with increase in the quantity of matter, and its application to a biological problem, Bjul. Moskovskovo Gos. Univ. 17 (1937).  
Kolgomorov et al. studied this equation replacing the term mpq with the logistic term  p(1+p).
I have no time to edit this correction now, but will leave the comment in the discussion. If somebody wants to take on this edit, pelase go ahead. Otherwise, I will revisit this article in a few days. 13-FEB-2011.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.118.161.179 (talk) 16:46, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Fisher Equation is Different from Fisher-Kolgomorov Equation

message: In this sentence:
"Fisher proposed this equation in his 1937 paper The wave of advance of advantageous genes in the context of population dynamics to describe the spatial spread of an advantageous allele and explored its travelling wave solutions."
population dynamics should be  changed to population genetics. 
Wikipedia's definition of population dynamics:
"Population dynamics is the type of mathematics used to model and study the size and age composition of populations as dynamical systems."
is correct. Fisher's equation says NOTHING about population size or age structure. It describes the dynamics of the frequency of a genetic allele within a population, represented by u in Fisher's equation. This is the domain of population genetics, not population dynamics.

Talk:List of eponymous musical terms

message: According to the page Eponym, and also my understanding of the term: "In contemporary English, the term eponymous is often used to mean self-titled."  Unless I misunderstand, a lot of the entries on this page are not eponymous.  "Saxophone" would be, since it was invented by Adolphe Sax. But "Rock Me Amadeus" would not be, since it is merely named after Mozart, not something Mozart himself is responsible for.  Other terms that are listed here but don't seem eponymous to me include: Alexander Nevsky, Archduke Trio, Diabelli Variations, St. James Infirmary, Jefferson Airplane, and all the entries under "Place names".
Correct me if I'm wrong, but simply naming something after someone does not make it eponymous, right? Pfly 08:27, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  on producing the lucas critique. 

message: In the "Criticism" section it mentions Milton Friedman, but gives no citation and lists no work in the "References" section by him. I don't have a specific work by him to point out, but I found this article to be informative in contrasting his views with the "new classicals" (primarily Lucas, but also Sargent & Wallace) about rational expectations and the short-run effect of (nominal/monetary) policy to be informative:
http://dukespace.lib.duke.edu:8080/dspace/bitstream/10161/1921/1/Hoover_two_types_of_monetarism.pdf
That's by K.D Hoover who is presenting Friedman's views to contrast them. He lists and quotes from a few works by Friedman, but I haven't read them myself and so don't feel it would be appropriate for me to give them as citations.
I also found an interview where Friedman himself critiques the new classicals, but only vaguely for "taking a good thing too far", concluding that they have had "too much influence".

message: I propose that Budj Bim be merged into Mount Eccles. Budji Bim is an Australian Aboriginal word for the mountain. In VICNAMES, there is no listing of the name Budji Bim. I think that the content in the Budji Bim article can easily be explained in the context of Mount Eccles and also Mount Eccles National Park, and that both these articles are of a reasonable size that the merging of Budji Bim will not cause any problems as far as article size or undue weight is concerned. Rangasyd (talk) 11:12, 24 August 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Support the merge (as there is no agreement that it is the same place). The question of name is not one of precedence, but of common use. I count 166,000 uses of "Mount Eccles" for 16,400 of "Budj Bim" or "Budjbim". The National Park site has Mount Eccles as the name for the park () and usually "Budj Bim" for the dormant volcano (). Melbourne tourist board uses Mount Eccles first (). There was a proposal to change the official name to Budj Bim ()(), and while I haven't been able to track down a formal outcome, the Parks use seems to indicate acceptance of "Budj Bim" for the peak itself. Of the naming criteria (WP:NAMINGCRITERIA), Mount Eccles seems to have the lead on Recognizability (internationally), although the other criteria are finely balanced. Perhaps the "Naturalness" criterion, as of the last 12 months, favors "Budj Bim", particularly given that the Premier of Victoria seems to prefer the term () following the World Heritage nominations.

It uses the same example along with another one with a 1 Hz difference.  This part of the article is unclear and should be cleaned up by someone with better knowledge than I have.  But, at the very least, the article should not claim that a perfect fifth is more dissonant than a chord composed of two notes only 1 Hz apart. Ari (talk) 22:55, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

I realize that, contrary to the case of a string, this would have to be a formula specific to the kettledrum, not a property of any circular membrane, since for a two-dimensional membrane the spectrum can be quite complicated and not even give a definite frequency (e.g. the case of the kick drum).
