  2. Christofides algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christofides_algorithm

    The union of the tree and the matching is a cycle, with no possible shortcuts, and with weight approximately 3n/2. However, the optimal solution uses the edges of weight 1 + ε together with two weight-1 edges incident to the endpoints of the path, and has total weight (1 + ε)(n − 2) + 2, close to n for small values of ε. Hence we obtain an ...

  3. Linear inequality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_inequality

    A simple procedure to determine which half-plane is in the solution set is to calculate the value of ax + by at a point (x 0, y 0) which is not on the line and observe whether or not the inequality is satisfied. For example, [3] to draw the solution set of x + 3y < 9, one first draws the line with equation x + 3y = 9 as a dotted line, to ...

  4. Symbolab - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbolab

    Symbolab is an answer engine [1] that provides step-by-step solutions to mathematical problems in a range of subjects. [2] It was originally developed by Israeli start-up company EqsQuest Ltd., under whom it was released for public use in 2011. In 2020, the company was acquired by American educational technology website Course Hero. [3] [4]

  5. Gaussian elimination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaussian_elimination

    One sees the solution is z = −1, y = 3, and x = 2. So there is a unique solution to the original system of equations. So there is a unique solution to the original system of equations. Instead of stopping once the matrix is in echelon form, one could continue until the matrix is in reduced row echelon form, as it is done in the table.

  6. Constraint (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    where denotes the vector (x 1, x 2). In this example, the first line defines the function to be minimized (called the objective function , loss function, or cost function). The second and third lines define two constraints, the first of which is an inequality constraint and the second of which is an equality constraint.

  7. Incidence matrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incidence_matrix

    For instance, it can be used to prove Fisher's inequality, a fundamental theorem of balanced incomplete 2-designs (BIBDs), that the number of blocks is at least the number of points. [2] Considering the blocks as a system of sets, the permanent of the incidence matrix is the number of systems of distinct representatives (SDRs).

  8. Interior-point method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interior-point_method

    An interior point method was discovered by Soviet mathematician I. I. Dikin in 1967. [1] The method was reinvented in the U.S. in the mid-1980s. In 1984, Narendra Karmarkar developed a method for linear programming called Karmarkar's algorithm, [2] which runs in provably polynomial time (() operations on L-bit numbers, where n is the number of variables and constants), and is also very ...

  9. Inequality (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inequality_(mathematics)

    For instance, to solve the inequality 4x < 2x + 1 ≤ 3x + 2, it is not possible to isolate x in any one part of the inequality through addition or subtraction. Instead, the inequalities must be solved independently, yielding x < ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ and x ≥ −1 respectively, which can be combined into the final solution1 ≤ x < ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠.
