Laplacian
Summary
The Laplacian of a twice differentiable function on is the divergence of its gradient. It measures how the value of the function at a point differs from its average value on small spheres around the point.
What this node needs for W2
- edge instance_of in: at least two examples (0 of 2)
- edge not_instance_of in: at least one non-example (0 of 1)
- edge specializes both: the more general notions and the special cases (0 of 1)
The writing levels say how complete the text of a node is. They do not measure its truth.
