  2. Polynomial evaluation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polynomial_evaluation

    Horner's method evaluates a polynomial using repeated bracketing: + + + + + = + (+ (+ (+ + (+)))). This method reduces the number of multiplications and additions to just Horner's method is so common that a computer instruction "multiply–accumulate operation" has been added to many computer processors, which allow doing the addition and multiplication operations in one combined step.

  3. Horner's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horner's_method

    In mathematics and computer science, Horner's method (or Horner's scheme) is an algorithm for polynomial evaluation.Although named after William George Horner, this method is much older, as it has been attributed to Joseph-Louis Lagrange by Horner himself, and can be traced back many hundreds of years to Chinese and Persian mathematicians. [1]

  4. Test functions for optimization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Test_functions_for...

    The test functions used to evaluate the algorithms for MOP were taken from Deb, [4] Binh et al. [5] and Binh. [6] The software developed by Deb can be downloaded, [ 7 ] which implements the NSGA-II procedure with GAs, or the program posted on Internet, [ 8 ] which implements the NSGA-II procedure with ES.

  5. Difference quotient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Difference_quotient

    For any function that is continuous on [LB,UB] and differentiable on (LB,UB) there exists some P ã in the interval (LB,UB) such that the secant joining the endpoints of the interval [LB,UB] is parallel to the tangent at P ã. Essentially, P ã denotes some value of P between LB and UB—hence,

  6. Evaluation function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evaluation_function

    An evaluation function, also known as a heuristic evaluation function or static evaluation function, is a function used by game-playing computer programs to estimate the value or goodness of a position (usually at a leaf or terminal node) in a game tree. [1]

  7. Expression (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expression_(mathematics)

    An expression is often used to define a function, by taking the variables to be arguments, or inputs, of the function, and assigning the output to be the evaluation of the resulting expression. [5] For example, x ↦ x 2 + 1 {\displaystyle x\mapsto x^{2}+1} and f ( x ) = x 2 + 1 {\displaystyle f(x)=x^{2}+1} define the function that associates ...

  8. Expression (computer science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expression_(computer_science)

    In computer science, an expression is a syntactic entity in a programming language that may be evaluated to determine its value. [1] It is a combination of one or more constants, variables, functions, and operators that the programming language interprets (according to its particular rules of precedence and of association) and computes to produce ("to return", in a stateful environment ...

    Let be an arbitrary set and a Hilbert space of real-valued functions on , equipped with pointwise addition and pointwise scalar multiplication.The evaluation functional over the Hilbert space of functions is a linear functional that evaluates each function at a point ,
