The elements of an arithmetico-geometric sequence () are the products of the elements of an arithmetic progression (in blue) with initial value and common difference , = + (), with the corresponding elements of a geometric progression (in green) with initial value and common ratio , =, so that [4]
A 3-coloring of the vertices of a triangulated polygon. The blue vertices form a set of three guards, as few as is guaranteed by the art gallery theorem. However, this set is not optimal: the same polygon can be guarded by only two guards. Steve Fisk's proof is so short and elegant that it was chosen for inclusion in Proofs from THE BOOK. [4]
Allowing the "exploding head" case gives yet another solution of the puzzle and introduces the possibility of solving the puzzle (modified and original) in just two questions rather than three. In support of a two-question solution to the puzzle, the authors solve a similar simpler puzzle using just two questions.
For such problems, to achieve given accuracy, it takes much less computational time to use an implicit method with larger time steps, even taking into account that one needs to solve an equation of the form (1) at each time step. That said, whether one should use an explicit or implicit method depends upon the problem to be solved.
Solve an equation [14] Also suggested: Look for a pattern [15] Draw a picture [16] Solve a simpler problem [17] Use a model [18] Work backward [19] Use a formula [20] Be creative [21] Applying these rules to devise a plan takes your own skill and judgement. [22] Pólya lays a big emphasis on the teachers' behavior.
The conjugate gradient method can also be used to solve unconstrained optimization problems such as energy minimization. It is commonly attributed to Magnus Hestenes and Eduard Stiefel, [1] [2] who programmed it on the Z4, [3] and extensively researched it. [4] [5] The biconjugate gradient method provides a generalization to non-symmetric matrices.
As cancer has been linked to alcohol use, per the surgeon general's new advisory, addiction experts offer helpful tips to cut back on drinking in a safe, healthy way.
The Crank–Nicolson stencil for a 1D problem. The Crank–Nicolson method is based on the trapezoidal rule, giving second-order convergence in time.For linear equations, the trapezoidal rule is equivalent to the implicit midpoint method [citation needed] —the simplest example of a Gauss–Legendre implicit Runge–Kutta method—which also has the property of being a geometric integrator.
