  2. Pairwise summation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pairwise_summation

    If the inputs are all non-negative, then the condition number is 1. Note that the ⁡ denominator is effectively 1 in practice, since ⁡ is much smaller than 1 until n becomes of order 2 1/ε, which is roughly 10 10 15 in double precision.

  3. List of sums of reciprocals - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sums_of_reciprocals

    Then the triangle is in Euclidean space if the sum of the reciprocals of p, q, and r equals 1, spherical space if that sum is greater than 1, and hyperbolic space if the sum is less than 1. A harmonic divisor number is a positive integer whose divisors have a harmonic mean that is an integer. The first five of these are 1, 6, 28, 140, and 270.

  4. Kahan summation algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kahan_summation_algorithm

    sum = 10003.1 sum = t. The sum is so large that only the high-order digits of the input numbers are being accumulated. But on the next step, c, an approximation of the running error, counteracts the problem. y = 2.71828 - (-0.0415900) Most digits meet, since c is of a size similar to y. = 2.75987 The shortfall (low-order digits lost) of ...

  5. Cesàro summation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cesàro_summation

    In mathematical analysis, Cesàro summation (also known as the Cesàro mean [1] [2] or Cesàro limit [3]) assigns values to some infinite sums that are not necessarily convergent in the usual sense. The Cesàro sum is defined as the limit, as n tends to infinity, of the sequence of arithmetic means of the first n partial sums of the series.

  6. Minimax theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimax_theorem

    It is always true that the left-hand side is at most the right-hand side (max–min inequality) but equality only holds under certain conditions identified by minimax theorems. The first theorem in this sense is von Neumann's minimax theorem about two-player zero-sum games published in 1928, [2] which is considered the starting point of game ...

  7. Bernoulli number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernoulli_number

    In mathematics, the Bernoulli numbers B n are a sequence of rational numbers which occur frequently in analysis.The Bernoulli numbers appear in (and can be defined by) the Taylor series expansions of the tangent and hyperbolic tangent functions, in Faulhaber's formula for the sum of m-th powers of the first n positive integers, in the Euler–Maclaurin formula, and in expressions for certain ...

  8. Prefix sum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prefix_sum

    Prefix sums are trivial to compute in sequential models of computation, by using the formula y i = y i − 1 + x i to compute each output value in sequence order. However, despite their ease of computation, prefix sums are a useful primitive in certain algorithms such as counting sort, [1] [2] and they form the basis of the scan higher-order function in functional programming languages.

  9. Indeterminate form - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indeterminate_form

    Indeterminate form is a mathematical expression that can obtain any value depending on circumstances. In calculus, it is usually possible to compute the limit of the sum, difference, product, quotient or power of two functions by taking the corresponding combination of the separate limits of each respective function.
