  2. Memorylessness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memorylessness

    Similarly, by dividing the input of the survival function and taking the -th root, = (). In general, the equality is true for any rational number in place of k {\displaystyle k} . Since the survival function is continuous and rational numbers are dense in the real numbers (in other words, there is always a rational number arbitrarily close to ...

  3. Duff's device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duff's_device

    In the C programming language, Duff's device is a way of manually implementing loop unrolling by interleaving two syntactic constructs of C: the do-while loop and a switch statement. Its discovery is credited to Tom Duff in November 1983, when Duff was working for Lucasfilm and used it to speed up a real-time animation program.

  4. Polar code (coding theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polar_code_(coding_theory)

    It is the first code with an explicit construction to provably achieve the channel capacity for symmetric binary-input, discrete, memoryless channels (B-DMC) with polynomial dependence on the gap to capacity. [1] Polar codes were developed by Erdal Arikan, a professor of electrical engineering at Bilkent University.

  5. C (programming language) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_(programming_language)

    In C, all executable code is contained within subroutines (also called "functions", though not in the sense of functional programming). Function parameters are passed by value, although arrays are passed as pointers, i.e. the address of the first item in the array.

  6. C dynamic memory allocation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_dynamic_memory_allocation

    The C programming language manages memory statically, automatically, or dynamically.Static-duration variables are allocated in main memory, usually along with the executable code of the program, and persist for the lifetime of the program; automatic-duration variables are allocated on the stack and come and go as functions are called and return.

  7. Fréchet distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fréchet_distribution

    The Fréchet distribution, also known as inverse Weibull distribution, [2] [3] is a special case of the generalized extreme value distribution. It has the cumulative distribution function It has the cumulative distribution function

  8. Communication channel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communication_channel

    The mathematical model consists of a transition probability that specifies an output distribution for each possible sequence of channel inputs. In information theory, it is common to start with memoryless channels in which the output probability distribution only depends on the current channel input. A channel model may either be digital or analog.

  9. Markov property - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markov_property

    A stochastic process has the Markov property if the conditional probability distribution of future states of the process (conditional on both past and present values) depends only upon the present state; that is, given the present, the future does not depend on the past.
