  2. C mathematical functions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_mathematical_functions

    The type-generic macros that correspond to a function that is defined for only real numbers encapsulates a total of 3 different functions: float, double and long double variants of the function. The C++ language includes native support for function overloading and thus does not provide the <tgmath.h> header even as a compatibility feature.

  3. Subset sum problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subset_sum_problem

    Let A be the sum of the negative values and B the sum of the positive values; the number of different possible sums is at most B-A, so the total runtime is in (()). For example, if all input values are positive and bounded by some constant C , then B is at most N C , so the time required is O ( N 2 C ) {\displaystyle O(N^{2}C)} .

  4. Summation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Summation

    In mathematics, summation is the addition of a sequence of numbers, called addends or summands; the result is their sum or total.Beside numbers, other types of values can be summed as well: functions, vectors, matrices, polynomials and, in general, elements of any type of mathematical objects on which an operation denoted "+" is defined.

  5. Addition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Addition

    Summation describes the addition of arbitrarily many numbers, usually more than just two. It includes the idea of the sum of a single number, which is itself, and the empty sum, which is zero. [93] An infinite summation is a delicate procedure known as a series. [94] Counting a finite set is equivalent to summing 1 over the set.

  6. Divide-and-conquer algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divide-and-conquer_algorithm

    For example, one can add N numbers either by a simple loop that adds each datum to a single variable, or by a D&C algorithm called pairwise summation that breaks the data set into two halves, recursively computes the sum of each half, and then adds the two sums. While the second method performs the same number of additions as the first and pays ...

  7. Kahan summation algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kahan_summation_algorithm

    sum = t // Next time around, the lost low part will be added to y in a fresh attempt. next i return sum This algorithm can also be rewritten to use the Fast2Sum algorithm: [7] function KahanSum2(input) // Prepare the accumulator. var sum = 0.0 // A running compensation for lost low-order bits.

  8. Pythagorean addition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pythagorean_addition

    In mathematics, Pythagorean addition is a binary operation on the real numbers that computes the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle, given its two sides.According to the Pythagorean theorem, for a triangle with sides and , this length can be calculated as = +, where denotes the Pythagorean addition operation.

  9. Prefix sum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prefix_sum

    Prefix sums are trivial to compute in sequential models of computation, by using the formula y i = y i − 1 + x i to compute each output value in sequence order. However, despite their ease of computation, prefix sums are a useful primitive in certain algorithms such as counting sort, [1] [2] and they form the basis of the scan higher-order function in functional programming languages.
