  2. M'Naghten rules - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M'Naghten_rules

    The House of Lords delivered the following exposition of the rules: . the jurors ought to be told in all cases that every man is to be presumed to be sane, and to possess a sufficient degree of reason to be responsible for his crimes, until the contrary be proved to their satisfaction; and that to establish a defence on the ground of insanity, it must be clearly proved that, at the time of the ...

  3. Thompson's construction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thompson's_construction

    In computer science, Thompson's construction algorithm, also called the McNaughton–Yamada–Thompson algorithm, [1] is a method of transforming a regular expression into an equivalent nondeterministic finite automaton (NFA). [2] This NFA can be used to match strings against the regular expression. This algorithm is credited to Ken Thompson.

  4. Bioche's rules - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioche's_rules

    If two of the preceding relations both hold, a good change of variables is = ⁡. In all other cases, use u = tan ⁡ ( t / 2 ) {\displaystyle u=\tan(t/2)} . Because rules 1 and 2 involve flipping the t axis, they flip the sign of dt , and therefore the behavior of ω under these transformations differs from that of ƒ by a sign.

  5. Conditional entropy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conditional_entropy

    Assume that the combined system determined by two random variables and has joint entropy (,), that is, we need (,) bits of information on average to describe its exact state. Now if we first learn the value of X {\displaystyle X} , we have gained H ( X ) {\displaystyle \mathrm {H} (X)} bits of information.

  6. Joint entropy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joint_entropy

    The joint entropy of a set of variables is less than or equal to the sum of the individual entropies of the variables in the set. This is an example of subadditivity . This inequality is an equality if and only if X {\displaystyle X} and Y {\displaystyle Y} are statistically independent .

  7. Two-variable logic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-variable_logic

    The two-variable fragment of first-order logic with no function symbols is known to be decidable even with the addition of counting quantifiers, [4] and thus of uniqueness quantification. This is a more powerful result, as counting quantifiers for high numerical values are not expressible in that logic.

  8. Second partial derivative test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_partial_derivative_test

    Note that in the one-variable case, the Hessian condition simply gives the usual second derivative test. In the two variable case, (,) and (,) are the principal minors of the Hessian. The first two conditions listed above on the signs of these minors are the conditions for the positive or negative definiteness of the Hessian.

  9. Inverse Symbolic Calculator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse_Symbolic_Calculator

    A user will input a number and the Calculator will use an algorithm to search for and calculate closed-form expressions or suitable functions that have roots near this number. Hence, the calculator is of great importance for those working in numerical areas of experimental mathematics. The ISC contains 54 million mathematical constants.
