  2. Maximum and minimum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_and_minimum

    In mathematical analysis, the maximum and minimum [a] of a function are, respectively, the greatest and least value taken by the function. Known generically as extremum , [ b ] they may be defined either within a given range (the local or relative extrema) or on the entire domain (the global or absolute extrema) of a function.

  3. Golden-section search - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden-section_search

    The golden-section search is a technique for finding an extremum (minimum or maximum) of a function inside a specified interval. For a strictly unimodal function with an extremum inside the interval, it will find that extremum, while for an interval containing multiple extrema (possibly including the interval boundaries), it will converge to one of them.

  4. Arg max - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arg_max

    However, the normalised sinc function (blue) has arg min of {−1.43, 1.43}, approximately, because their global minima occur at x = ±1.43, even though the minimum value is the same. [ 1 ] In mathematics , the arguments of the maxima (abbreviated arg max or argmax ) and arguments of the minima (abbreviated arg min or argmin ) are the input ...

  5. All nearest smaller values - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_nearest_smaller_values

    The first element of the sequence (0) has no previous value. The nearest (only) smaller value previous to 8 and to 4 is 0. All three values previous to 12 are smaller, but the nearest one is 4. Continuing in the same way, the nearest previous smaller values for this sequence (indicating the nonexistence of a previous smaller value by a dash) are

  6. Rastrigin function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rastrigin_function

    The generalized version was popularized by Hoffmeister & Bäck [3] and Mühlenbein et al. [4] Finding the minimum of this function is a fairly difficult problem due to its large search space and its large number of local minima. On an -dimensional domain it is defined by:

  7. Selection algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selection_algorithm

    As a baseline algorithm, selection of the th smallest value in a collection of values can be performed by the following two steps: . Sort the collection; If the output of the sorting algorithm is an array, retrieve its th element; otherwise, scan the sorted sequence to find the th element.

  8. Clamp (function) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clamp_(function)

    In Python, the pandas library offers the Series.clip [1] and DataFrame.clip [2] methods. The NumPy library offers the clip [3] function. In the Wolfram Language, it is implemented as Clip [x, {minimum, maximum}]. [4] In OpenGL, the glClearColor function takes four GLfloat values which are then 'clamped' to the range [,]. [5]

  9. Heap (data structure) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heap_(data_structure)

    extract-max (or extract-min): returns the node of maximum value from a max heap [or minimum value from a min heap] after removing it from the heap (a.k.a., pop [5]) delete-max (or delete-min): removing the root node of a max heap (or min heap), respectively; replace: pop root and push a new key. This is more efficient than a pop followed by a ...
