  2. Quadratic form - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratic_form

    An integral quadratic form has integer coefficients, such as x 2 + xy + y 2; equivalently, given a lattice Λ in a vector space V (over a field with characteristic 0, such as Q or R), a quadratic form Q is integral with respect to Λ if and only if it is integer-valued on Λ, meaning Q(x, y) ∈ Z if x, y ∈ Λ.

  3. Gradient - Wikipedia

    The gradient of F is then normal to the hypersurface. Similarly, an affine algebraic hypersurface may be defined by an equation F(x 1, ..., x n) = 0, where F is a polynomial. The gradient of F is zero at a singular point of the hypersurface (this is the definition of a singular point). At a non-singular point, it is a nonzero normal vector.

  4. Gradient theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gradient_theorem

    The gradient theorem states that if the vector field F is the gradient of some scalar-valued function (i.e., if F is conservative), then F is a path-independent vector field (i.e., the integral of F over some piecewise-differentiable curve is dependent only on end points). This theorem has a powerful converse:

  5. Clifford algebra - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clifford_algebra

    A Clifford algebra is a unital associative algebra that contains and is generated by a vector space V over a field K, where V is equipped with a quadratic form Q : V → K.The Clifford algebra Cl(V, Q) is the "freest" unital associative algebra generated by V subject to the condition [c] = , where the product on the left is that of the algebra, and the 1 on the right is the algebra's ...

  6. Conjugate gradient method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conjugate_gradient_method

    A comparison of the convergence of gradient descent with optimal step size (in green) and conjugate vector (in red) for minimizing a quadratic function associated with a given linear system. Conjugate gradient, assuming exact arithmetic, converges in at most n steps, where n is the size of the matrix of the system (here n = 2).

  7. Taylor's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taylor's_theorem

    The choice = + is the Lagrange form, whilst the choice = is the Cauchy form. These refinements of Taylor's theorem are usually proved using the mean value theorem , whence the name. Additionally, notice that this is precisely the mean value theorem when k = 0 {\textstyle k=0} .

  8. Quadratic programming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratic_programming

    Quadratic programming (QP) is the process of solving certain mathematical optimization problems involving quadratic functions. Specifically, one seeks to optimize (minimize or maximize) a multivariate quadratic function subject to linear constraints on the variables.

  9. Quadratic function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratic_function

    In mathematics, a quadratic function of a single variable is a function of the form [1] = + +,,where ⁠ ⁠ is its variable, and ⁠ ⁠, ⁠ ⁠, and ⁠ ⁠ are coefficients.The expression ⁠ + + ⁠, especially when treated as an object in itself rather than as a function, is a quadratic polynomial, a polynomial of degree two.
