  2. M'Naghten rules - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M'Naghten_rules

    The House of Lords delivered the following exposition of the rules: . the jurors ought to be told in all cases that every man is to be presumed to be sane, and to possess a sufficient degree of reason to be responsible for his crimes, until the contrary be proved to their satisfaction; and that to establish a defence on the ground of insanity, it must be clearly proved that, at the time of the ...

  3. Thompson's construction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thompson's_construction

    In computer science, Thompson's construction algorithm, also called the McNaughton–Yamada–Thompson algorithm, [1] is a method of transforming a regular expression into an equivalent nondeterministic finite automaton (NFA). [2] This NFA can be used to match strings against the regular expression. This algorithm is credited to Ken Thompson.

  4. Scott's rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott's_Rule

    This rule is also called the oversmoothed rule [7] or the Rice rule, [8] so called because both authors worked at Rice University. The Rice rule is often reported with the factor of 2 outside the cube root, () /, and may be considered a different rule. The key difference from Scott's rule is that this rule does not assume the data is normally ...

  5. Simpson's rules (ship stability) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simpson's_rules_(ship...

    Simpson's rules are used to calculate the volume of lifeboats, [6] and by surveyors to calculate the volume of sludge in a ship's oil tanks. For instance, in the latter, Simpson's 3rd rule is used to find the volume between two co-ordinates. To calculate the entire area / volume, Simpson's first rule is used. [7]

  6. Gauss–Kronrod quadrature formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauss–Kronrod_quadrature...

    Gauss–Kronrod formulas are extensions of the Gauss quadrature formulas generated by adding + points to an -point rule in such a way that the resulting rule is exact for polynomials of degree less than or equal to + (Laurie (1997, p. 1133); the corresponding Gauss rule is of order ).

  7. Five-point stencil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five-point_stencil

    An illustration of the five-point stencil in one and two dimensions (top, and bottom, respectively). In numerical analysis, given a square grid in one or two dimensions, the five-point stencil of a point in the grid is a stencil made up of the point itself together with its four "neighbors".

  8. Two-level utilitarianism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-level_utilitarianism

    David McNaughton argues that, even if the agent's commitment to his/her principles is not undermined, two-level utilitarianism does not succeed in its goal of showing, "how, on utilitarian principles, it is a good idea to think and reason in a pluralist and non-consequentialist manner."

  9. Summation by parts - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Summation_by_parts

    The formula for an integration by parts is () ′ = [() ()] ′ (). Beside the boundary conditions , we notice that the first integral contains two multiplied functions, one which is integrated in the final integral ( g ′ {\displaystyle g'} becomes g {\displaystyle g} ) and one which is differentiated ( f {\displaystyle f} becomes f ...
