error amplification
[/ˈɛrər æmpləfɪˈkeɪʃən/]
nounpl: error amplifications
amplificação de erro
1. A phenomenon in which small initial errors or inaccuracies become progressively larger and more significant through successive operations, calculations, or iterations
Error amplification in numerical simulations can lead to completely unreliable results after many iterations.
A amplificação de erro em simulações numéricas pode levar a resultados completamente não confiáveis após muitas iterações.
2. In signal processing and engineering, the process by which measurement errors or noise become magnified through signal transmission or data processing
The old analog equipment suffered from error amplification due to multiple signal conversions.
O equipamento analógico antigo sofria com amplificação de erro devido às múltiplas conversões de sinal.
3. In communication systems, the degradation of data quality when transmission errors are compounded through multiple channels or stages
Error amplification across the network necessitated the implementation of robust error correction codes.
A amplificação de erro na rede necessitou da implementação de códigos robustos de correção de erros.
Error amplification is primarily a technical and scientific term used in academic and professional contexts in both Brazil and the USA. It is particularly important in discussions about numerical computing, scientific modeling, and engineering reliability. The concept is critical in Portuguese-speaking engineering and mathematics communities, where understanding error propagation is essential for ensuring computational accuracy and system reliability.
