Matrix model
Appearance
The term matrix model may refer to one of several concepts:
- In theoretical physics, a matrix model is a system (usually a quantum mechanical system) with matrix-valued physical quantities. See, for example, Lax pair.
- The "old" matrix models are relevant for string theory in two spacetime dimensions. The "new" matrix model is a synonym for Matrix theory.
- Matrix population models are used to model wildlife and human population dynamics.
