A Guassian function has a top in the middle and it's ends reach until infinity but the graph never touches the x axis. The location of the top depends on the parameters used.
It has no special name - other than a normal (or Gaussian) distribution graph.
shape
To determine if a graph represents a linear function, a nonlinear function, or simply a relation, you should look at its shape. A linear function will produce a straight line, indicating a constant rate of change. If the graph curves or has varying slopes, it is a nonlinear function. If the graph does not represent a function at all (such as a vertical line), it is simply a relation.
It's like a bell curve; there's a high point in the middle with both sides dropping off symmetrically away from it and then flattening out as you move away from the drop offs.
The graph of a linear function is a straight line. It can have a positive slope, indicating an upward trend, or a negative slope, indicating a downward trend. The line can also be horizontal if the function has a slope of zero, representing a constant value. The overall shape is determined by the function's slope and y-intercept.
The bell curve graph is another name for a normal (Gaussian) distribution graph. A Gaussian function is a certain kind of function whose graph results in a bell-shaped curve.
The Gaussian "Bell" Curve has probability density function: f(x)= exp{-((x-mu)2/(2*sigma2)) } / (sigma*sqrt(2*pi)) where mu=mean & sigma=standard deviation
A monotonic transformation does not change the overall shape of a function's graph, but it can stretch or compress the graph horizontally or vertically.
the gaussian filter is also known as Gaussian smoothing and is the result of blurring an image by a Gaussian function.
It has no special name - other than a normal (or Gaussian) distribution graph.
