Lattice multiplication, also known as the Italian method, Chinese method, Chinese lattice, gelosia multiplication, [1] sieve multiplication, shabakh, diagonally or Venetian squares, is a method of multiplication that uses a lattice to multiply two multi-digit numbers.
Napier's bones is a manually operated calculating device created by John Napier of Merchiston, Scotland for the calculation of products and quotients of numbers. The method was based on lattice multiplication, and also called rabdology, a word invented by Napier. Napier published his version in 1617. [1]
In mathematics, a fundamental pair of periods is an ordered pair of complex numbers that defines a lattice in the complex plane. This type of lattice is the underlying object with which elliptic functions and modular forms are defined. Fundamental parallelogram defined by a pair of vectors in the complex plane.
The 60 vertices of the rectified 6-orthoplex vertex figure of the 6-demicubic honeycomb reflect the kissing number 60 of this lattice. [2] The best known is 72, from the E 6 lattice and the 2 22 honeycomb. The D + 6 lattice (also called D 2 6) can be constructed by the union of two D 6 lattices. This packing is only a lattice for even dimensions.
[9] [10] The kissing number in n dimensions is unknown for other dimensions. If arrangements are restricted to lattice arrangements, in which the centres of the spheres all lie on points in a lattice, then this restricted kissing number is known for n = 1 to 9 and n = 24 dimensions. [11]
A lattice is an abstract structure studied in the mathematical subdisciplines of order theory and abstract algebra.It consists of a partially ordered set in which every pair of elements has a unique supremum (also called a least upper bound or join) and a unique infimum (also called a greatest lower bound or meet).
A complete lattice is a lattice in which every subset of elements of L has an infimum and supremum; this generalizes the analogous properties of the real numbers. An order-embedding is a function that maps distinct elements of S to distinct elements of L such that each pair of elements in S has the same ordering in L as they do in S.
In mathematics, ancient Egyptian multiplication (also known as Egyptian multiplication, Ethiopian multiplication, Russian multiplication, or peasant multiplication), one of two multiplication methods used by scribes, is a systematic method for multiplying two numbers that does not require the multiplication table, only the ability to multiply and divide by 2, and to add.
