Equivalence principle
The equivalence principle denotes:
- Equivalence principle (physics) , weak equivalence principle (equivalence of inert and heavy mass) and strong equivalence principle (all physical processes take place in a free-falling frame of reference as if there were no gravitation)
- Ambiguity problem , the equality of different interpretations of a measurement result
- Principle of equivalence (tax) , a common principle used to justify collecting taxes
- the principle of equal treatment in the structuring of remuneration in personnel management
- In financial mathematics or pension calculation, the equivalence of two payment flows by comparing the present values or the final values.
- In actuarial mathematics, the calculation of the contributions for the assumed obligation without explicitly applying a profit surcharge, the contributions are therefore equivalent to the obligation. Profits in individual insurance are implicitly included through a careful calculation. The term is also used in the contribution law of the German social insurance as a supplement to the solidarity principle , where the contributions are determined by the pay-as-you-go method without profit.
