Transition function

In mathematics, a transition function may refer to: * a transition map between two charts of an atlas of a manifold or other topological space * the function that defines the transitions of a transition system in computing, which may refer more specifically to a ** Turing machine, ** finite-state machine, or ** cellular automaton * a stochastic kernel In statistics and probability theory, the conditional probability distribution function controlling the transitions of a stochastic process
