  2. Function composition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Function_composition

    If an airplane's altitude at time t is a(t), and the air pressure at altitude x is p(x), then (p ∘ a)(t) is the pressure around the plane at time t. Function defined on finite sets which change the order of their elements such as permutations can be composed on the same set, this being composition of permutations.

  3. Polynomial decomposition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polynomial_decomposition

    In mathematics, a polynomial decomposition expresses a polynomial f as the functional composition of polynomials g and h, where g and h have degree greater than 1; it is an algebraic functional decomposition. Algorithms are known for decomposing univariate polynomials in polynomial time.

  4. Arithmetic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arithmetic

    Arithmetic is closely related to number theory and some authors use the terms as synonyms. [8] However, in a more specific sense, number theory is restricted to the study of integers and focuses on their properties and relationships such as divisibility, factorization, and primality. [9] Traditionally, it is known as higher arithmetic. [10]

  5. Composition of relations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composition_of_relations

    Gunther Schmidt has renewed the use of the semicolon, particularly in Relational Mathematics (2011). [2]: 40 [7] The use of the semicolon coincides with the notation for function composition used (mostly by computer scientists) in category theory, [8] as well as the notation for dynamic conjunction within linguistic dynamic semantics. [9]

  6. Direct sum of modules - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_sum_of_modules

    In abstract algebra, the direct sum is a construction which combines several modules into a new, larger module. The direct sum of modules is the smallest module which contains the given modules as submodules with no "unnecessary" constraints, making it an example of a coproduct.

  7. Matrix decomposition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matrix_decomposition

    Applicable to: square, hermitian, positive definite matrix Decomposition: =, where is upper triangular with real positive diagonal entries Comment: if the matrix is Hermitian and positive semi-definite, then it has a decomposition of the form = if the diagonal entries of are allowed to be zero

  8. Matrix exponential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matrix_exponential

    One of the reasons for the importance of the matrix exponential is that it can be used to solve systems of linear ordinary differential equations.The solution of = (), =, where A is a constant matrix and y is a column vector, is given by =.

  9. Karatsuba algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karatsuba_algorithm

    We use m right shifts for decomposing the input operands using the resulting base (B m = 1000), as: 12345 = 12 · 1000 + 345 6789 = 6 · 1000 + 789. Only three multiplications, which operate on smaller integers, are used to compute three partial results: z 2 = 12 × 6 = 72 z 0 = 345 × 789 = 272205
