  2. An algorithm in the form of a differential equation that operates continuously on the data, running on an analog computer.

Famous quotes containing the word continuous:

    I describe family values as responsibility towards others, increase of tolerance, compromise, support, flexibility. And essentially the things I call the silent song of life—the continuous process of mutual accommodation without which life is impossible.
    Salvador Minuchin (20th century)
