Limiting Behavior
In the limit of large κ the distribution becomes a normal distribution
where σ2 = 1/κ. In the limit of small κ it becomes a uniform distribution:
where the interval for the uniform distribution U(x) is the chosen interval of length 2π.

Famous quotes containing the words limiting and/or behavior:
“There could be no fairer destiny for any physical theory than that it should point the way to a more comprehensive theory in which it lives on as a limiting case.”
—Albert Einstein (1879–1955)
“No one thinks anything silly is suitable when they are an adolescent. Such an enormous share of their own behavior is silly that they lose all proper perspective on silliness, like a baker who is nauseated by the sight of his own eclairs. This provides another good argument for the emerging theory that the best use of cryogenics is to freeze all human beings when they are between the ages of twelve and nineteen.”
—Anna Quindlen (20th century)
