unusual facts about w:Weight function



Backup rotation scheme

One acceptable weight is a constant exponent (possibly the square) of the multiplicative inverse of the duration (possibly expressed in the number of days) between the date of the generation and the generation available before it.

Weight function

The terminology weight function arises from mechanics: if one has a collection of n objects on a lever, with weights \scriptstyle w 1, \dotsc, w n (where weight is now interpreted in the physical sense) and locations :\scriptstyle\boldsymbol{x} 1,\dotsc,\boldsymbol{x} n, then the lever will be in balance if the fulcrum of the lever is at the center of mass
