  2. Subset sum problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subset_sum_problem

    SSP can also be regarded as an optimization problem: find a subset whose sum is at most T, and subject to that, as close as possible to T. It is NP-hard, but there are several algorithms that can solve it reasonably quickly in practice. SSP is a special case of the knapsack problem and of the multiple subset sum problem.

  3. Plotting algorithms for the Mandelbrot set - Wikipedia

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

    The simplest algorithm for generating a representation of the Mandelbrot set is known as the "escape time" algorithm. A repeating calculation is performed for each x, y point in the plot area and based on the behavior of that calculation, a color is chosen for that pixel.

  4. Independent component analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Independent_component_analysis

    It is closely related to (or even a special case of) the search for a factorial code of the data, i.e., a new vector-valued representation of each data vector such that it gets uniquely encoded by the resulting code vector (loss-free coding), but the code components are statistically independent.

  5. Methods of computing square roots - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methods_of_computing...

    A method analogous to piece-wise linear approximation but using only arithmetic instead of algebraic equations, uses the multiplication tables in reverse: the square root of a number between 1 and 100 is between 1 and 10, so if we know 25 is a perfect square (5 × 5), and 36 is a perfect square (6 × 6), then the square root of a number greater than or equal to 25 but less than 36, begins with ...

  6. Algorithms for calculating variance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algorithms_for_calculating...

    Algorithms for calculating variance play a major role in computational statistics.A key difficulty in the design of good algorithms for this problem is that formulas for the variance may involve sums of squares, which can lead to numerical instability as well as to arithmetic overflow when dealing with large values.

  7. Structural synthesis of programs - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_synthesis_of...

    This function itself must be synthesized in the process of SSP. In this case, realization of the axiom is a higher order function, i.e., a function that uses another function as an input. For instance, the formula (state → nextState) ∧ initialState → result. can specify a higher order function with two inputs and an output result.

  8. Heun's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heun's_method

    The procedure for calculating the numerical solution to the initial value problem: y ′ ( t ) = f ( t , y ( t ) ) , y ( t 0 ) = y 0 , {\displaystyle y'(t)=f(t,y(t)),\qquad \qquad y(t_{0})=y_{0},} by way of Heun's method, is to first calculate the intermediate value y ~ i + 1 {\displaystyle {\tilde {y}}_{i+1}} and then the final approximation y ...

  9. Loop unrolling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loop_unrolling

    Reduced Code Readability: If loop unrolling is done manually instead of by an optimizing compiler, the code can become harder to understand and maintain. Conflict with Function Inlining: When the loop body contains function calls, unrolling may prevent inlining due to excessive code expansion, leading to a trade-off between these two optimizations.
