  2. Calculus on finite weighted graphs - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calculus_on_finite...

    It allows the translation of various partial differential equations, e.g., the heat equation, to the graph setting. Based on the first-order partial difference operators on graphs one can formally derive a family of weighted graph -Laplace operators,: () for < by minimization of the discrete -Dirichlet energy functional

  3. Fixed-point theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixed-point_theorem

    The Banach fixed-point theorem (1922) gives a general criterion guaranteeing that, if it is satisfied, the procedure of iterating a function yields a fixed point. [2]By contrast, the Brouwer fixed-point theorem (1911) is a non-constructive result: it says that any continuous function from the closed unit ball in n-dimensional Euclidean space to itself must have a fixed point, [3] but it doesn ...

  4. Saddle point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saddle_point

    A saddle point (in red) on the graph of z = x 2 − y 2 (hyperbolic paraboloid). In mathematics, a saddle point or minimax point [1] is a point on the surface of the graph of a function where the slopes (derivatives) in orthogonal directions are all zero (a critical point), but which is not a local extremum of the function. [2]

  5. Graph of a function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graph_of_a_function

    Given a function: from a set X (the domain) to a set Y (the codomain), the graph of the function is the set [4] = {(, ()):}, which is a subset of the Cartesian product.In the definition of a function in terms of set theory, it is common to identify a function with its graph, although, formally, a function is formed by the triple consisting of its domain, its codomain and its graph.

  6. Shortest path problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shortest_path_problem

    Shortest path (A, C, E, D, F), blue, between vertices A and F in the weighted directed graph. In graph theory, the shortest path problem is the problem of finding a path between two vertices (or nodes) in a graph such that the sum of the weights of its constituent edges is minimized.

  7. Radial basis function interpolation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radial_basis_function...

    It has been shown that the resulting interpolation matrix will always be non-singular. This does not violate the Mairhuber–Curtis theorem since the basis functions depend on the points of interpolation. Choosing a radial kernel such that the interpolation matrix is non-singular is exactly the definition of a strictly positive definite function.

  8. Epigraph (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    Epigraph of a function A function (in black) is convex if and only if the region above its graph (in green) is a convex set.This region is the function's epigraph. In mathematics, the epigraph or supergraph [1] of a function: [,] valued in the extended real numbers [,] = {} is the set ⁡ = {(,) : ()} consisting of all points in the Cartesian product lying on or above the function's graph. [2]

  9. Elliptic curve point multiplication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elliptic_curve_point...

    where f is the function for multiplying, P is the coordinate to multiply, d is the number of times to add the coordinate to itself. Example: 100P can be written as 2(2[P + 2(2[2(P + 2P)])]) and thus requires six point double operations and two point addition operations. 100P would be equal to f(P, 100).
