Poisson bracket In mathematics and classical mechanics, the Poisson bracket is an important binary operation in Hamiltonian mechanics, playing a central role in Hamilton's equations of motion, which govern the time evolution of a Hamiltonian dynamical system. Th ...

Poisson boundary In mathematics, the Poisson boundary is a measure space associated to a random walk. It is an object designed to encode the asymptotic behaviour of the random walk, i.e. how trajectories diverge when the number of steps goes to infinity. Despite be ...

Poisson ring In mathematics, a Poisson ring is a commutative ring on which an anticommutative and distributive binary operation cdot,\cdot/math> satisfying the Jacobi identity and the product rule is defined. Such an operation is then known as the Poisson brac ...

Poisson supermanifold In differential geometry a Poisson supermanifold is a differential supermanifold M such that the supercommutative algebra of smooth functions over it (to clarify this: M is not a point set space and so, doesn't "really" exist, and really, this alg ...

Displaced Poisson distribution In statistics, the displaced Poisson, also known as the hyper-Poisson distribution, is a generalization of the Poisson distribution. The probability mass function is : P(X=n) = \begin e^\dfrac\cdot\dfrac, \quad n=0,1,2,\ldots &\text r\geq 0\\0p ...

Geometric Poisson distribution In probability theory and statistics, the geometric Poisson distribution (also called the Pólya–Aeppli distribution) is used for describing objects that come in clusters, where the number of clusters follows a Poisson distribution and the number ...

Poisson binomial distribution In probability theory and statistics, the Poisson binomial distribution is the discrete probability distribution of a sum of independent Bernoulli trials that are not necessarily identically distributed. The concept is named after Siméon Denis ...

Poisson limit theorem In probability theory, the law of rare events or Poisson limit theorem states that the Poisson distribution may be used as an approximation to the binomial distribution, under certain conditions. The theorem was named after Siméon Denis Poisson ...
