  2. Narcissistic number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narcissistic_number

    In number theory, a narcissistic number [1] [2] (also known as a pluperfect digital invariant (PPDI), [3] an Armstrong number [4] (after Michael F. Armstrong) [5] or a plus perfect number) [6] in a given number base is a number that is the sum of its own digits each raised to the power of the number of digits.

  3. Golden-section search - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden-section_search

    Specify the function to be minimized, ⁠ ⁠, the interval to be searched as {X 1,X 4}, and their functional values F 1 and F 4. Calculate an interior point and its functional value F 2. The two interval lengths are in the ratio c : r or r : c where r = φ − 1; and c = 1 − r, with φ being the golden ratio.

  4. Interval arithmetic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interval_arithmetic

    The main objective of interval arithmetic is to provide a simple way of calculating upper and lower bounds of a function's range in one or more variables. These endpoints are not necessarily the true supremum or infimum of a range since the precise calculation of those values can be difficult or impossible; the bounds only need to contain the function's range as a subset.

    dc: "Desktop Calculator" arbitrary-precision RPN calculator that comes standard on most Unix-like systems. KCalc, Linux based scientific calculator; Maxima: a computer algebra system which bignum integers are directly inherited from its implementation language Common Lisp. In addition, it supports arbitrary-precision floating-point numbers ...

  6. Bisection method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bisection_method

    The input for the method is a continuous function f, an interval [a, b], and the function values f(a) and f(b). The function values are of opposite sign (there is at least one zero crossing within the interval). Each iteration performs these steps: Calculate c, the midpoint of the interval, c = ⁠ a + b / 2 ⁠.

  7. Arbitrary-precision arithmetic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arbitrary-precision_arithmetic

    But even with the greatest common divisor divided out, arithmetic with rational numbers can become unwieldy very quickly: 1/99 − 1/100 = 1/9900, and if 1/101 is then added, the result is 10001/999900. The size of arbitrary-precision numbers is limited in practice by the total storage available, and computation time.

  8. Automorphic number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automorphic_number

    Given a number base , a natural number with digits is an automorphic number if is a fixed point of the polynomial function = over /, the ring of integers modulo.As the inverse limit of / is , the ring of -adic integers, automorphic numbers are used to find the numerical representations of the fixed points of () = over .

  9. Interval scheduling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interval_scheduling

    The following greedy algorithm finds a solution that contains at least 1/2 of the optimal number of intervals: [8] Select the interval, x, with the earliest finishing time. Remove x, and all intervals intersecting x, and all intervals in the same group of x, from the set of candidate intervals. Continue until the set of candidate intervals is ...
