The polygonal map quadtree (or PM Quadtree) is a variation of quadtree which is used to store collections of polygons that may be degenerate (meaning that they have isolated vertices or edges). [ 9 ] [ 10 ] A big difference between PM quadtrees and edge quadtrees is that the cell under consideration is not subdivided if the segments meet at a ...
Off-by-one errors are common in using the C library because it is not consistent with respect to whether one needs to subtract 1 byte – functions like fgets() and strncpy will never write past the length given them (fgets() subtracts 1 itself, and only retrieves (length − 1) bytes), whereas others, like strncat will write past the length given them.
MATLAB allows matrix manipulations, plotting of functions and data, implementation of algorithms, creation of user interfaces, and interfacing with programs written in other languages. Although MATLAB is intended primarily for numeric computing, an optional toolbox uses the MuPAD symbolic engine allowing access to symbolic computing abilities.
Slack variables give an embedding of a polytope into the standard f-orthant, where is the number of constraints (facets of the polytope). This map is one-to-one (slack variables are uniquely determined) but not onto (not all combinations can be realized), and is expressed in terms of the constraints (linear functionals, covectors).
A commonly used code encodes = eight-bit data symbols plus 32 eight-bit parity symbols in an =-symbol block; this is denoted as a (,) = (,) code, and is capable of correcting up to 16 symbol errors per block. The Reed–Solomon code properties discussed above make them especially well-suited to applications where errors occur in bursts. This is ...
IF-MAP provides a common interface between the Metadata Access Point (MAP), a database server acting as a clearinghouse for information about security events and objects, and other elements of the TNC architecture. The IF-MAP protocol defines a publish/subscribe/search mechanism with a set of identifiers and data types.
The field of numerical analysis predates the invention of modern computers by many centuries. Linear interpolation was already in use more than 2000 years ago. Many great mathematicians of the past were preoccupied by numerical analysis, [5] as is obvious from the names of important algorithms like Newton's method, Lagrange interpolation polynomial, Gaussian elimination, or Euler's method.
A bilinear map is a function: such that for all , the map (,) is a linear map from to , and for all , the map (,) is a linear map from to . In other words, when we hold the first entry of the bilinear map fixed while letting the second entry vary, the result is a linear operator, and similarly for when we hold the second entry fixed.
