  2. Conversion (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conversion_(chemistry)

    Conversion and its related terms yield and selectivity are important terms in chemical reaction engineering.They are described as ratios of how much of a reactant has reacted (X — conversion, normally between zero and one), how much of a desired product was formed (Y — yield, normally also between zero and one) and how much desired product was formed in ratio to the undesired product(s) (S ...

  3. Stoichiometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stoichiometry

    Stoichiometry measures these quantitative relationships, and is used to determine the amount of products and reactants that are produced or needed in a given reaction. Describing the quantitative relationships among substances as they participate in chemical reactions is known as reaction stoichiometry. In the example above, reaction ...

  4. Change-making problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Change-making_problem

    The following is a dynamic programming implementation (with Python 3) which uses a matrix to keep track of the optimal solutions to sub-problems, and returns the minimum number of coins, or "Infinity" if there is no way to make change with the coins given. A second matrix may be used to obtain the set of coins for the optimal solution.

  5. Coin problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coin_problem

    Frobenius coin problem with 2-pence and 5-pence coins visualised as graphs: Sloping lines denote graphs of 2x+5y=n where n is the total in pence, and x and y are the non-negative number of 2p and 5p coins, respectively. A point on a line gives a combination of 2p and 5p for its given total (green).

  6. Collatz conjecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collatz_conjecture

    The standard Collatz function is given by P = 2, a 0 = ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠, b 0 = 0, a 1 = 3, b 1 = 1. Conway proved that the problem Given g and n, does the sequence of iterates g k (n) reach 1? is undecidable, by representing the halting problem in this way. Closer to the Collatz problem is the following universally quantified problem:

  7. Conversion of units - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conversion_of_units

    Conversion of units is the conversion of the unit of measurement in which a quantity is expressed, typically through a multiplicative conversion factor that changes the unit without changing the quantity. This is also often loosely taken to include replacement of a quantity with a corresponding quantity that describes the same physical property.

  8. Set splitting problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Set_splitting_problem

    In computational complexity theory, the set splitting problem is the following decision problem: given a family F of subsets of a finite set S, decide whether there exists a partition of S into two subsets S 1, S 2 such that all elements of F are split by this partition, i.e., none of the elements of F is completely in S 1 or S 2.

  9. Proportionality (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    Given such a constant k, the proportionality relation ∝ with proportionality constant k between two sets A and B is the equivalence relation defined by {(,): =}. A direct proportionality can also be viewed as a linear equation in two variables with a y -intercept of 0 and a slope of k > 0, which corresponds to linear growth .
