  2. Linear congruential generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_congruential_generator

    A structure similar to LCGs, but not equivalent, is the multiple-recursive generator: X n = (a 1 X n1 + a 2 X n2 + ··· + a k X n−k) mod m for k ≥ 2. With a prime modulus, this can generate periods up to m k −1, so is a useful extension of the LCG structure to larger periods.

  3. List of algorithms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_algorithms

    CYK algorithm: an O(n 3) algorithm for parsing context-free grammars in Chomsky normal form; Earley parser: another O(n 3) algorithm for parsing any context-free grammar; GLR parser: an algorithm for parsing any context-free grammar by Masaru Tomita. It is tuned for deterministic grammars, on which it performs almost linear time and O(n 3) in ...

  4. Singmaster's conjecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singmaster's_conjecture

    Singmaster's conjecture is a conjecture in combinatorial number theory, named after the British mathematician David Singmaster who proposed it in 1971. It says that there is a finite upper bound on the multiplicities of entries in Pascal's triangle (other than the number 1, which appears infinitely many times).

  5. Block walking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block_walking

    In combinatorial mathematics, block walking is a method useful in thinking about sums of combinations graphically as "walks" on Pascal's triangle.As the name suggests, block walking problems involve counting the number of ways an individual can walk from one corner A of a city block to another corner B of another city block given restrictions on the number of blocks the person may walk, the ...

  6. De Casteljau's algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Casteljau's_algorithm

    The algorithm is numerically stable [1] when compared to direct evaluation of polynomials. The computational complexity of this algorithm is (), where d is the number of dimensions, and n is the number of control points. There exist faster alternatives. [2] [3]

  7. Pascal's simplex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pascal's_simplex

    The first five layers of Pascal's 3-simplex (Pascal's pyramid). Each face (orange grid) is Pascal's 2-simplex (Pascal's triangle). Arrows show derivation of two example terms. In mathematics, Pascal's simplex is a generalisation of Pascal's triangle into arbitrary number of dimensions, based on the multinomial theorem.

  8. Cubic reciprocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubic_reciprocity

    Cubic reciprocity is a collection of theorems in elementary and algebraic number theory that state conditions under which the congruence x 3 ≡ p (mod q) is solvable; the word "reciprocity" comes from the form of the main theorem, which states that if p and q are primary numbers in the ring of Eisenstein integers, both coprime to 3, the congruence x 3 ≡ p (mod q) is solvable if and only if ...

  9. Hockey-stick identity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hockey-stick_identity

    Pascal's triangle, rows 0 through 7. The hockey stick identity confirms, for example: for n =6, r =2: 1+3+6+10+15=35. In combinatorics , the hockey-stick identity , [ 1 ] Christmas stocking identity , [ 2 ] boomerang identity , Fermat's identity or Chu's Theorem , [ 3 ] states that if n ≥ r ≥ 0 {\displaystyle n\geq r\geq 0} are integers, then
