Meanings

  1. (not-comparable) In a quadratic way.
    • This article shows how to construct a non-recursive zip bomb whose compression ratio surpasses the DEFLATE limit of 1032. It works by overlapping files inside the zip container, in order to reference a "kernel" of highly compressed data in multiple files, without making multiple copies of it. The zip bomb's output size grows quadratically in the input size; i.e., the compression ratio gets better as the bomb gets bigger. 2019 July 2, David Fifield, “A better zip bomb”, in bamsoftware.com, archived from the original on 18 Jan 2025:
    • In this work we show that, in presence of another nonminimally coupled scalar field, that is both quadratically and quartically coupled to the Ricci scalar, inflation naturally ends, representing an elegant solution to the graceful exit problem of topological inflation. 2015, Anja Marunović, Tomislav Prokopec, “Topological inflation with graceful exit”, in arXiv, archived from the original on 09 Jul 2022:
