  2. Order of approximation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_approximation

    In the zeroth-order example above, the quantity "a few" was given, but in the first-order example, the number "4" is given. A first-order approximation of a function (that is, mathematically determining a formula to fit multiple data points) will be a linear approximation, straight line with a slope: a polynomial of degree 1. For example:

  3. Logic of graphs - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logic_of_graphs

    In the monadic second-order logic of graphs, the variables represent objects of up to four types: vertices, edges, sets of vertices, and sets of edges. There are two main variations of monadic second-order graph logic: MSO 1 in which only vertex and vertex set variables are allowed, and MSO 2 in which all four types of variables are allowed ...

  4. Second neighborhood problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_neighborhood_problem

    A vertex in a directed graph whose second neighborhood is at least as large as its first neighborhood is called a Seymour vertex. [5]In the second neighborhood conjecture, the condition that the graph have no two-edge cycles is necessary, for in graphs that have such cycles (for instance the complete oriented graph) all second neighborhoods may be empty or small.

    The Königsberg Bridge problem. The paper written by Leonhard Euler on the Seven Bridges of Königsberg and published in 1736 is regarded as the first paper in the history of graph theory. [20] This paper, as well as the one written by Vandermonde on the knight problem, carried on with the analysis situs initiated by Leibniz.

  6. Newton's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_method

    An illustration of Newton's method. In numerical analysis, the Newton–Raphson method, also known simply as Newton's method, named after Isaac Newton and Joseph Raphson, is a root-finding algorithm which produces successively better approximations to the roots (or zeroes) of a real-valued function.

  7. Nonlinear programming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonlinear_programming

    SciPy (de facto standard for scientific Python) has scipy.optimize solver, which includes several nonlinear programming algorithms (zero-order, first order and second order ones). IPOPT (C++ implementation, with numerous interfaces including C, Fortran, Java, AMPL, R, Python, etc.) is an interior point method solver (zero-order, and optionally ...

    3. Topological sorting is the algorithmic problem of arranging a directed acyclic graph into a topological order, a vertex sequence such that each edge goes from an earlier vertex to a later vertex in the sequence. totally disconnected Synonym for edgeless. tour A closed trail, a walk that starts and ends at the same vertex and has no repeated ...

  9. List of first-order theories - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_first-order_theories

    Use ordinary first-order logic, but add a new unary predicate "Set", where "Set(t)" means informally "t is a set". Use ordinary first-order logic, and instead of adding a new predicate to the language, treat "Set(t)" as an abbreviation for "∃y t∈y" Some first-order set theories include: Weak theories lacking powersets:
