Where it comes from

From Jacobi + -an, after Carl Gustav Jacob Jacobi, a German mathematician of the 19th century.

adjective

  1. not comparable Used to specify certain mathematical objects named in honour of C. G. J. Jacobi. The Jacobian matrix has partial derivatives as its entries.

noun Jacobians

  1. A Jacobian matrix or its associated operator. As a demonstration, we first establish the correctness of the Jacobian matrices for kinetic models of hydrogen, methane, ethylene, and isopentanol oxidation, then demonstrate the performance achievable on CPUs and GPUs using pyJac via matrix evaluation timing comparisons..
  2. The determinant of such a matrix. In terms of per-bit security, elliptic curves and Jacobians of genus 2 curves appear to be roughly equivalent. However, when it comes to efficient and side-channel-aware implementations, we see a curious divergence.
