In computer science, a computation is said to diverge if it does not terminate or terminates in an exceptional state. [1]: 377 Otherwise it is said to converge.In domains where computations are expected to be infinite, such as process calculi, a computation is said to diverge if it fails to be productive (i.e. to continue producing an action within a finite amount of time).
The reason was the lack of the modern trading platforms which show the changing prices every moment. As the working week used to be 6-days, the period settings of (12, 26, 9) represent 2 weeks, 1 month and one and a half week. Now when the trading weeks have only 5 days, possibilities of changing the period settings cannot be overruled.
In statistics, Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) is a class of algorithms used to draw samples from a probability distribution.Given a probability distribution, one can construct a Markov chain whose elements' distribution approximates it – that is, the Markov chain's equilibrium distribution matches the target distribution.
Agnew's theorem describes rearrangements that preserve convergence for all convergent series. The Lévy–Steinitz theorem identifies the set of values to which a series of terms in R n can converge. A typical conditionally convergent integral is that on the non-negative real axis of (see Fresnel integral).
In asymptotic analysis in general, one sequence () that converges to a limit is said to asymptotically converge to with a faster order of convergence than another sequence () that converges to in a shared metric space with distance metric | |, such as the real numbers or complex numbers with the ordinary absolute difference metrics, if
For r < 1, exists outside [0, 1] as an unstable fixed point, but for r = 1, the two fixed points collide, and for r > 1, appears between [0, 1] as a stable fixed point. When the parameter r = 1, the trajectory of the logistic map converges to 0 as before, but the convergence speed is slower at r = 1.
In general statistics and probability, "divergence" generally refers to any kind of function (,), where , are probability distributions or other objects under consideration, such that conditions 1, 2 are satisfied. Condition 3 is required for "divergence" as used in information geometry.
If an equation can be put into the form f(x) = x, and a solution x is an attractive fixed point of the function f, then one may begin with a point x 1 in the basin of attraction of x, and let x n+1 = f(x n) for n ≥ 1, and the sequence {x n} n ≥ 1 will converge to the solution x.
