  2. Heaviside cover-up method - Wikipedia

    This gives the residue for A when x = −1. Next, substitute this value of x into the fractional expression, but without D 1. Put this value down as the value of A. Proceed similarly for B and C. D 2 is x + 2; For the residue B use x = −2. D 3 is x + 3; For residue C use x = −3. Thus, to solve for A, use x = −1 in the expression but ...

  3. Collatz conjecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collatz_conjecture

    For instance, the first counterexample must be odd because f(2n) = n, smaller than 2n; and it must be 3 mod 4 because f 2 (4n + 1) = 3n + 1, smaller than 4n + 1. For each starting value a which is not a counterexample to the Collatz conjecture, there is a k for which such an inequality holds, so checking the Collatz conjecture for one starting ...

    For example, the equation x + y = 2x – 1 is solved for the unknown x by the expression x = y + 1, because substituting y + 1 for x in the equation results in (y + 1) + y = 2(y + 1) – 1, a true statement. It is also possible to take the variable y to be the unknown, and then the equation is solved by y = x – 1.

    Because of this, different methods need to be used to solve BVPs. For example, the shooting method (and its variants) or global methods like finite differences, [3] Galerkin methods, [4] or collocation methods are appropriate for that class of problems. The Picard–Lindelöf theorem states that there is a unique solution, provided f is ...

  7. Cubic equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubic_equation

    If only one root, say r 1, is real, then r 2 and r 3 are complex conjugates, which implies that r 2 – r 3 is a purely imaginary number, and thus that (r 2 – r 3) 2 is real and negative. On the other hand, r 1 – r 2 and r 1 – r 3 are complex conjugates, and their product is real and positive. [ 23 ]

  9. Newton's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_method

    The tangent lines of x 3 − 2x + 2 at 0 and 1 intersect the x-axis at 1 and 0 respectively, illustrating why Newton's method oscillates between these values for some starting points. It is easy to find situations for which Newton's method oscillates endlessly between two distinct values.
