  2. Cubic equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubic_equation

    Much of what is covered below is valid for coefficients in any field with characteristic other than 2 and 3. The solutions of the cubic equation do not necessarily belong to the same field as the coefficients. For example, some cubic equations with rational coefficients have roots that are irrational (and even non-real) complex numbers.

  3. Rationalizable strategy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rationalizable_strategy

    We can demonstrate the same methods on a more complex game and solve for the rational strategies. In this scenario, the blue coloring represents the dominating numbers in the particular strategy. Step-by-step solving: For Player 2, X is dominated by the mixed strategy ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ Y and ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ Z.

  4. Collatz conjecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collatz_conjecture

    If, for some given b and k, the inequality f k (2 k a + b) = 3 c(b) a + d(b) < 2 k a + b. holds for all a, then the first counterexample, if it exists, cannot be b modulo 2 k. [13] For instance, the first counterexample must be odd because f(2n) = n, smaller than 2n; and it must be 3 mod 4 because f 2 (4n + 1) = 3n + 1, smaller than 4n + 1.

  5. One-step method - Wikipedia

    which also has convergence order 2. Another simple explicit method of order 2, the improved Euler method, is obtained by the following consideration: A "mean" slope in the method step would be the slope of the solution 𝑦 in the middle of the step, i.e. at the point +. However, as the solution is unknown, it is approximated by an explicit ...

  6. Cauchy's functional equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cauchy's_functional_equation

    Over the rational numbers, it can be shown using elementary algebra that there is a single family of solutions, namely : for any rational constant . Over the real numbers , the family of linear maps f : x ↦ c x , {\displaystyle f:x\mapsto cx,} now with c {\displaystyle c} an arbitrary real constant, is likewise a family of solutions; however ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_unsolved_problems...

    Many mathematical problems have been stated but not yet solved. These problems come from many areas of mathematics, such as theoretical physics, computer science, algebra, analysis, combinatorics, algebraic, differential, discrete and Euclidean geometries, graph theory, group theory, model theory, number theory, set theory, Ramsey theory, dynamical systems, and partial differential equations.

  8. Constraint (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    If an inequality constraint holds as a strict inequality at the optimal point (that is, does not hold with equality), the constraint is said to be non-binding, as the point could be varied in the direction of the constraint, although it would not be optimal to do so. Under certain conditions, as for example in convex optimization, if a ...

  9. Inequality (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    For instance, to solve the inequality 4x < 2x + 1 ≤ 3x + 2, it is not possible to isolate x in any one part of the inequality through addition or subtraction. Instead, the inequalities must be solved independently, yielding x < ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ and x ≥ −1 respectively, which can be combined into the final solution −1 ≤ x < ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ .
