  2. Barzilai-Borwein method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barzilai-Borwein_method

    The short BB step size is same as a linearized minimum-residual step. BB applies the step sizes upon the forward direction vector for the next iterate, instead of the prior direction vector as if for another line-search step. Barzilai and Borwein proved their method converges R-superlinearly for quadratic minimization in two dimensions.

  3. Adaptive step size - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adaptive_step_size

    Let us now apply Euler's method again with a different step size to generate a second approximation to y(t n+1). We get a second solution, which we label with a (). Take the new step size to be one half of the original step size, and apply two steps of Euler's method. This second solution is presumably more accurate.

  4. Bresenham's line algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bresenham's_line_algorithm

    Plotting the line from (0,1) to (6,4) showing a plot of grid lines and pixels. All of the derivation for the algorithm is done. One performance issue is the 1/2 factor in the initial value of D. Since all of this is about the sign of the accumulated difference, then everything can be multiplied by 2 with no consequence.

  5. Learning rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learning_rate

    There are many different learning rate schedules but the most common are time-based, step-based and exponential. [ 4 ] Decay serves to settle the learning in a nice place and avoid oscillations, a situation that may arise when a too high constant learning rate makes the learning jump back and forth over a minimum, and is controlled by a ...

  6. Backtracking line search - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backtracking_line_search

    The method involves starting with a relatively large estimate of the step size for movement along the line search direction, and iteratively shrinking the step size (i.e., "backtracking") until a decrease of the objective function is observed that adequately corresponds to the amount of decrease that is expected, based on the step size and the ...

    Python and Matplotlib are cross-platform, and are therefore available for Windows, OS X, and the Unix-like operating systems like Linux and FreeBSD. Matplotlib can create plots in a variety of output formats, such as PNG and SVG. Matplotlib mainly does 2-D plots (such as line, contour, bar, scatter, etc.), but 3-D functionality is also available.

  8. Marching squares - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marching_squares

    In computer graphics, marching squares is an algorithm that generates contours for a two-dimensional scalar field (rectangular array of individual numerical values). A similar method can be used to contour 2D triangle meshes.

  9. Gradient descent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gradient_descent

    Since using a step size that is too small would slow convergence, and a too large would lead to overshoot and divergence, finding a good setting of is an important practical problem. Philip Wolfe also advocated using "clever choices of the [descent] direction" in practice. [ 10 ]
