  2. Map (higher-order function) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Map_(higher-order_function)

    Map functions can be and often are defined in terms of a fold such as foldr, which means one can do a map-fold fusion: foldr f z . map g is equivalent to foldr (f . g) z. The implementation of map above on singly linked lists is not tail-recursive, so it may build up a lot of frames on the stack when called with a large list. Many languages ...

  3. Fold (higher-order function) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fold_(higher-order_function)

    Folds can be regarded as consistently replacing the structural components of a data structure with functions and values. Lists, for example, are built up in many functional languages from two primitives: any list is either an empty list, commonly called nil ([]), or is constructed by prefixing an element in front of another list, creating what is called a cons node ( Cons(X1,Cons(X2,Cons ...

  4. Map folding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Map_folding

    The map folding and stamp folding problems are related to a problem in the mathematics of origami of whether a square with a crease pattern can be folded to a flat figure. If a folding direction (either a mountain fold or a valley fold ) is assigned to each crease of a strip of stamps, it is possible to test whether the result can be folded ...

    Included are diagram techniques, chart techniques, plot techniques, and other forms of visualization. There is also a list of computer graphics and descriptive geometry topics . Simple displays

  6. Plotting algorithms for the Mandelbrot set - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plotting_algorithms_for...

    The proof of the connectedness of the Mandelbrot set in fact gives a formula for the uniformizing map of the complement of (and the derivative of this map). By the Koebe quarter theorem, one can then estimate the distance between the midpoint of our pixel and the Mandelbrot set up to a factor of 4.

  7. Geometric Folding Algorithms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometric_Folding_Algorithms

    It includes the NP-completeness of testing flat foldability, [2] the problem of map folding (determining whether a pattern of mountain and valley folds forming a square grid can be folded flat), [2] [4] the work of Robert J. Lang using tree structures and circle packing to automate the design of origami folding patterns, [2] [4] the fold-and ...

  8. Multidimensional scaling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multidimensional_scaling

    For example, when dealing with mixed-type data that contain numerical as well as categorical descriptors, Gower's distance is a common alternative. [ citation needed ] In other words, MDS attempts to find a mapping from the M {\displaystyle M} objects into R N {\displaystyle \mathbb {R} ^{N}} such that distances are preserved.

  9. Mathematics of paper folding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematics_of_paper_folding

    For example, the Miura map fold is a rigid fold that has been used to deploy large solar panel arrays for space satellites. The napkin folding problem is the problem of whether a square or rectangle of paper can be folded so the perimeter of the flat figure is greater than that of the original square.
