File shadowing
In computing, file copying is the act of creating a new file such that it has the same content as an existing file. The operation is sometimes called ''cloning''.
Generally, an operating system command-line shell provides for file copying v ...

Projective shadowing
Shadow mapping or shadowing projection is a process by which shadows are added to 3D computer graphics. This concept was introduced by Lance Williams in 1978, in a paper entitled "Casting curved shadows on curved surfaces." Since then, it has b ...

shadowing lemma
In the theory of dynamical systems, the shadowing lemma is a lemma describing the behaviour of pseudo-orbits near a hyperbolic invariant set. Informally, the theory states that every pseudo-orbit (which one can think of as a numerically computed ...
