  2. Test functions for optimization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Test_functions_for...

    Convergence rate. Precision. Robustness. General performance. Here some test functions are presented with the aim of giving an idea about the different situations that optimization algorithms have to face when coping with these kinds of problems. In the first part, some objective functions for single-objective optimization cases are presented.

  3. Convergence tests - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convergence_tests

    exists there are three possibilities: if L > 1 the series converges (this includes the case L = ∞) if L < 1 the series diverges. and if L = 1 the test is inconclusive. An alternative formulation of this test is as follows. Let { an } be a series of real numbers. Then if b > 1 and K (a natural number) exist such that.

  4. Spaces of test functions and distributions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spaces_of_test_functions...

    In mathematical analysis, the spaces of test functions and distributions are topological vector spaces (TVSs) that are used in the definition and application of distributions. Test functions are usually infinitely differentiable complex -valued (or sometimes real -valued) functions on a non-empty open subset that have compact support.

  5. Cauchy's convergence test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cauchy's_convergence_test

    Cauchy's convergence test. The Cauchy convergence test is a method used to test infinite series for convergence. It relies on bounding sums of terms in the series. This convergence criterion is named after Augustin-Louis Cauchy who published it in his textbook Cours d'Analyse 1821. [1]

  6. Conjugate gradient method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conjugate_gradient_method

    Conjugate gradient, assuming exact arithmetic, converges in at most n steps, where n is the size of the matrix of the system (here n = 2). In mathematics, the conjugate gradient method is an algorithm for the numerical solution of particular systems of linear equations, namely those whose matrix is positive-semidefinite.

  7. Dirichlet's test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirichlet's_test

    An analogous statement for convergence of improper integrals is proven using integration by parts. If the integral of a function f is uniformly bounded over all intervals , and g is a non-negative monotonically decreasing function , then the integral of fg is a convergent improper integral.

  8. Ratio test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ratio_test

    Calculus. In mathematics, the ratio test is a test (or "criterion") for the convergence of a series. where each term is a real or complex number and an is nonzero when n is large. The test was first published by Jean le Rond d'Alembert and is sometimes known as d'Alembert's ratio test or as the Cauchy ratio test.

  9. Bisection method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bisection_method

    The bigger red dot is the root of the function. In mathematics, the bisection method is a root-finding method that applies to any continuous function for which one knows two values with opposite signs. The method consists of repeatedly bisecting the interval defined by these values and then selecting the subinterval in which the function ...
