Lépepsorozat

Lépepsorozat is a Hungarian term that translates to "leap sequence" or "jump series." It is most commonly used in the context of physics and mathematics to describe a discrete and often rapid change in a variable's value. This change is not gradual but occurs in distinct steps, akin to a series of jumps.

In physics, a lépepsorozat can be observed in phenomena such as quantum jumps, where an electron transitions between energy levels in an atom. These transitions are instantaneous and not continuous. Similarly, in certain statistical mechanics models, variables might exhibit lépepsorozat when transitioning between different states.

Mathematically, a lépepsorozat can refer to a sequence of numbers where each term is obtained by adding a specific, constant increment to the previous term, but this increment itself might change in discrete steps. It can also describe functions that are piecewise constant or exhibit step-like behavior. The term emphasizes the non-continuous nature of the progression, highlighting the discrete intervals or "leaps" between values. This concept is important in understanding discrete dynamical systems and numerical methods where continuous processes are approximated by discrete steps.
