  2. Linear congruential generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_congruential_generator

    The second row is the same generator with a seed of 3, which produces a cycle of length 2. Using a = 4 and c = 1 (bottom row) gives a cycle length of 9 with any seed in [0, 8]. A linear congruential generator (LCG) is an algorithm that yields a sequence of pseudo-randomized numbers calculated with a discontinuous piecewise linear equation.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plotting_algorithms_for...

    To get colorful images of the set, the assignment of a color to each value of the number of executed iterations can be made using one of a variety of functions (linear, exponential, etc.). One practical way, without slowing down calculations, is to use the number of executed iterations as an entry to a palette initialized at startup.

    The Killing field on the circle and flow along the Killing field. The vector field on a circle that points counterclockwise and has the same length at each point is a Killing vector field, since moving each point on the circle along this vector field simply rotates the circle.

  5. Biconjugate gradient method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biconjugate_gradient_method

    In mathematics, more specifically in numerical linear algebra, the biconjugate gradient method is an algorithm to solve systems of linear equations A x = b . {\displaystyle Ax=b.\,} Unlike the conjugate gradient method , this algorithm does not require the matrix A {\displaystyle A} to be self-adjoint , but instead one needs to perform ...

  6. Conjugate gradient squared method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conjugate_gradient_squared...

    As with the conjugate gradient method, biconjugate gradient method, and similar iterative methods for solving systems of linear equations, the CGS method can be used to find solutions to multi-variable optimisation problems, such as power-flow analysis, hyperparameter optimisation, and facial recognition. [8]

  7. Gradient method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gradient_method

    In optimization, a gradient method is an algorithm to solve problems of the form min x ∈ R n f ( x ) {\displaystyle \min _{x\in \mathbb {R} ^{n}}\;f(x)} with the search directions defined by the gradient of the function at the current point.

  8. Lehmer random number generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lehmer_random_number_generator

    The Lehmer random number generator [1] (named after D. H. Lehmer), sometimes also referred to as the Park–Miller random number generator (after Stephen K. Park and Keith W. Miller), is a type of linear congruential generator (LCG) that operates in multiplicative group of integers modulo n. The general formula is

  9. Conjugate gradient method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conjugate_gradient_method

    In mathematics, the conjugate gradient method is an algorithm for the numerical solution of particular systems of linear equations, namely those whose matrix is positive-semidefinite. The conjugate gradient method is often implemented as an iterative algorithm , applicable to sparse systems that are too large to be handled by a direct ...
