A free module is a module that can be represented as a direct sum over its base ring, so free abelian groups and free -modules are equivalent concepts: each free abelian group is (with the multiplication operation above) a free -module, and each free -module comes from a free abelian group in this way. [21]
Cluster analysis or clustering is the task of grouping a set of objects in such a way that objects in the same group (called a cluster) are more similar (in some specific sense defined by the analyst) to each other than to those in other groups (clusters).
Claude-Ambroise Seurat (10 April 1797 [1] or 4 April 1798 [2] – after 1833 [2]) was a freak show attraction from Troyes, France. He was known as "the anatomical man or the living skeleton" ( French : l'homme anatomique ou le squelette vivant ) due to his extraordinarily low body weight.
Every vector space is a free module, [1] but, if the ring of the coefficients is not a division ring (not a field in the commutative case), then there exist non-free modules. Given any set S and ring R, there is a free R-module with basis S, which is called the free module on S or module of formal R-linear combinations of the elements of S.
For example, the set of odd numbers is a sum-free subset of the integers, and the set {N + 1, ..., 2N } forms a large sum-free subset of the set {1, ..., 2N }. Fermat's Last Theorem is the statement that, for a given integer n > 2, the set of all nonzero n th powers of the integers is a sum-free set.
The average silhouette of the data is another useful criterion for assessing the natural number of clusters. The silhouette of a data instance is a measure of how closely it is matched to data within its cluster and how loosely it is matched to data of the neighboring cluster, i.e., the cluster whose average distance from the datum is lowest. [8]
The free group F S with free generating set S can be constructed as follows. S is a set of symbols, and we suppose for every s in S there is a corresponding "inverse" symbol, s −1, in a set S −1. Let T = S ∪ S −1, and define a word in S to be any written product of elements of T. That is, a word in S is an element of the monoid ...
The subset sum problem (SSP) is a decision problem in computer science. In its most general formulation, there is a multiset of integers and a target-sum , and the question is to decide whether any subset of the integers sum to precisely . [1] The problem is known to be NP-complete.
