  2. Plotting algorithms for the Mandelbrot set - Wikipedia

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

    For values within the Mandelbrot set, escape will never occur. The programmer or user must choose how many iterations–or how much "depth"–they wish to examine. The higher the maximal number of iterations, the more detail and subtlety emerge in the final image, but the longer time it will take to calculate the fractal image.

  3. Adjoint state method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adjoint_state_method

    By using the dual form of this constraint optimization problem, it can be used to calculate the gradient very fast. A nice property is that the number of computations is independent of the number of parameters for which you want the gradient. The adjoint method is derived from the dual problem [4] and is used e.g. in the Landweber iteration ...

  4. Subgradient method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subgradient_method

    When the objective function is differentiable, sub-gradient methods for unconstrained problems use the same search direction as the method of steepest descent. Subgradient methods are slower than Newton's method when applied to minimize twice continuously differentiable convex functions.

  5. Perlin noise - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perlin_noise

    Then, identify the 2 n corners of that cell and their associated gradient vectors. Next, for each corner, calculate an offset vector. An offset vector is a displacement vector from that corner to the candidate point. For each corner, we take the dot product between its gradient vector and the offset vector to the candidate point. This dot ...

  6. Conjugate gradient method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conjugate_gradient_method

    Conjugate gradient, assuming exact arithmetic, converges in at most n steps, where n is the size of the matrix of the system (here n = 2). In mathematics, the conjugate gradient method is an algorithm for the numerical solution of particular systems of linear equations, namely those whose matrix is positive-semidefinite.

  7. Conjugate gradient squared method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conjugate_gradient_squared...

    A system of linear equations = consists of a known matrix and a known vector.To solve the system is to find the value of the unknown vector . [3] [5] A direct method for solving a system of linear equations is to take the inverse of the matrix , then calculate =.

  8. Barzilai-Borwein method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barzilai-Borwein_method

    The Barzilai-Borwein method [1] is an iterative gradient descent method for unconstrained optimization using either of two step sizes derived from the linear trend of the most recent two iterates. This method, and modifications, are globally convergent under mild conditions, [ 2 ] [ 3 ] and perform competitively with conjugate gradient methods ...

  9. Prewitt operator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prewitt_operator

    The Prewitt operator is used in image processing, particularly within edge detection algorithms. Technically, it is a discrete differentiation operator, computing an approximation of the gradient of the image intensity function.
