  2. Cobweb plot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cobweb_plot

    An animated cobweb diagram of the logistic map y = r x (1-x), showing chaotic behaviour for most values of r > 3.57. A cobweb plot, known also as Lémeray Diagram or Verhulst diagram is a visual tool used in the dynamical systems field of mathematics to investigate the qualitative behaviour of one-dimensional iterated functions, such as the ...

  3. Convergence tests - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convergence_tests

    Raabe–Duhamel's test. Let { an } be a sequence of positive numbers. Define. If. exists there are three possibilities: if L > 1 the series converges (this includes the case L = ∞) if L < 1 the series diverges. and if L = 1 the test is inconclusive. An alternative formulation of this test is as follows.

  4. Buffon's needle problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffon's_needle_problem

    Buffon's needle was the earliest problem in geometric probability to be solved; [2] it can be solved using integral geometry. The solution for the sought probability p, in the case where the needle length l is not greater than the width t of the strips, is. This can be used to design a Monte Carlo method for approximating the number π ...

    algorithm Gauss–Seidel method is inputs: A, b output: φ Choose an initial guess φ to the solution repeat until convergence for i from 1 until n do σ ← 0 for j from 1 until n do if j ≠ i then σ ← σ + a ij φ j end if end (j-loop) φ i ← (b i − σ) / a ii end (i-loop) check if convergence is reached end (repeat)

  6. Generalized hypergeometric function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generalized_hypergeometric...

    Generalized hypergeometric function. In mathematics, a generalized hypergeometric series is a power series in which the ratio of successive coefficients indexed by n is a rational function of n. The series, if convergent, defines a generalized hypergeometric function, which may then be defined over a wider domain of the argument by analytic ...

  7. Plotting algorithms for the Mandelbrot set - Wikipedia

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

    The first step of the second pass is to create an array of size n, which is the maximum iteration count: NumIterationsPerPixel. Next, one must iterate over the array of pixel-iteration count pairs, IterationCounts[][], and retrieve each pixel's saved iteration count, i, via e.g. i = IterationCounts[x][y].

  8. Principal component analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principal_component_analysis

    e. Principal component analysis (PCA) is a linear dimensionality reduction technique with applications in exploratory data analysis, visualization and data preprocessing. The data is linearly transformed onto a new coordinate system such that the directions (principal components) capturing the largest variation in the data can be easily identified.

  9. Test functions for optimization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Test_functions_for...

    Convergence rate. Precision. Robustness. General performance. Here some test functions are presented with the aim of giving an idea about the different situations that optimization algorithms have to face when coping with these kinds of problems. In the first part, some objective functions for single-objective optimization cases are presented.
