  2. Largest empty rectangle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Largest_empty_rectangle

    E shows a maximal empty rectangle with arbitrary orientation. In computational geometry, the largest empty rectangle problem, [2] maximal empty rectangle problem [3] or maximum empty rectangle problem, [4] is the problem of finding a rectangle of maximal size to be placed among obstacles in the plane. There are a number of variants of the ...

  3. Hyperrectangle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperrectangle

    A four-dimensional orthotope is likely a hypercuboid. [7]The special case of an n-dimensional orthotope where all edges have equal length is the n-cube or hypercube. [2]By analogy, the term "hyperrectangle" can refer to Cartesian products of orthogonal intervals of other kinds, such as ranges of keys in database theory or ranges of integers, rather than real numbers.

  4. Histogram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Histogram

    This histogram shows the number of cases per unit interval as the height of each block, so that the area of each block is equal to the number of people in the survey who fall into its category. The area under the curve represents the total number of cases (124 million). This type of histogram shows absolute numbers, with Q in thousands.

  5. V-optimal histograms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V-optimal_histograms

    A v-optimal histogram is based on the concept of minimizing a quantity which is called the weighted variance in this context. [1] This is defined as = =, where the histogram consists of J bins or buckets, n j is the number of items contained in the jth bin and where V j is the variance between the values associated with the items in the jth bin.

  6. Moving sofa problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moving_sofa_problem

    The Hammersley sofa has area 2.2074 but is not the largest solution Gerver's sofa of area 2.2195 with 18 curve sections A telephone handset, a closer match than a sofa to Gerver's shape. A lower bound on the sofa constant can be proven by finding a specific shape of a high area and a path for moving it through the corner.

  7. Paper bag problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paper_bag_problem

    A cushion filled with stuffing. In geometry, the paper bag problem or teabag problem is to calculate the maximum possible inflated volume of an initially flat sealed rectangular bag which has the same shape as a cushion or pillow, made out of two pieces of material which can bend but not stretch.

  8. Circle packing in a square - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circle_packing_in_a_square

    Solutions (not necessarily optimal) have been computed for every N ≤ 10,000. [2] Solutions up to N = 20 are shown below. [2] The obvious square packing is optimal for 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, and 36 circles (the six smallest square numbers), but ceases to be optimal for larger squares from 49 onwards.

    Main Market, Onitsha [1] is the largest market in Africa based on geographical size and volume of goods. [2] It is based in the city of Onitsha, in Onitsha North Local Government Area, the commercial capital of Anambra State in southeastern Nigeria. The town is located on the east bank of the Niger River that joined the Anambra River.
