Schur-convex function if and only if formula_6 for all formula_7 holds for all 1≤"i"≠"j"≤"d". Schur-convex function In mathematics, a Schur-convex function, also known as S-convex, isotonic function and order-preserving function is a function formula_1 that for all formula_2 such that formula_3 is majorized by formula_4, one has that formula_5. Named after Issai Schur, Schur-convex functions are used in the study of majorization. Every function that is convex and symmetric is also Schur-convex. The opposite implication is not true, but all Schur-convex functions are symmetric (under permutations of the arguments). A function "f" is 'Schur-concave' if its negative, -"f", is Schur-convex. If "f"
Telecentric lens Telecentric lens A telecentric lens is a compound lens that has its entrance or exit pupil at infinity; in the prior case, this produces an orthographic view of the subject. This means that the chief rays (oblique rays that pass through the center of the aperture stop) are parallel to the optical axis in front of or behind the system, respectively. The simplest way to make a lens telecentric is to put the aperture stop at one of the lens's focal points. An entrance pupil at infinity makes the lens object-space telecentric. Such lenses are used in machine vision systems
