In other words, it is the number of integers k in the range 1 ≤ k ≤ n for which the greatest common divisor gcd(n, k) is equal to 1. [2] [3] The integers k of this form are sometimes referred to as totatives of n. For example, the totatives of n = 9 are the six numbers 1, 2, 4, 5, 7 and 8.
In the formulation given above, the scalars x n are replaced by vectors x n and instead of dividing the function f(x n) by its derivative f ′ (x n) one instead has to left multiply the function F(x n) by the inverse of its k × k Jacobian matrix J F (x n). [20] [21] [22] This results in the expression
If the domain X is a metric space, then f is said to have a local (or relative) maximum point at the point x ∗, if there exists some ε > 0 such that f(x ∗) ≥ f(x) for all x in X within distance ε of x ∗. Similarly, the function has a local minimum point at x ∗, if f(x ∗) ≤ f(x) for all x in X within distance ε of x ∗.
defines a variable named array (or assigns a new value to an existing variable with the name array) which is an array consisting of the values 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9. That is, the array starts at 1 (the initial value), increments with each step from the previous value by 2 (the increment value), and stops once it reaches (or is about to exceed) 9 ...
Plot of the Rosenbrock function of two variables. Here a = 1 , b = 100 {\displaystyle a=1,b=100} , and the minimum value of zero is at ( 1 , 1 ) {\displaystyle (1,1)} . In mathematical optimization , the Rosenbrock function is a non- convex function , introduced by Howard H. Rosenbrock in 1960, which is used as a performance test problem for ...
If m = n, then f is a function from R n to itself and the Jacobian matrix is a square matrix. We can then form its determinant, known as the Jacobian determinant. The Jacobian determinant is sometimes simply referred to as "the Jacobian". The Jacobian determinant at a given point gives important information about the behavior of f near that point.
The zeroeth extrapolation, R(n, 0), is equivalent to the trapezoidal rule with 2 n + 1 points; the first extrapolation, R(n, 1), is equivalent to Simpson's rule with 2 n + 1 points. The second extrapolation, R(n, 2), is equivalent to Boole's rule with 2 n + 1 points. The further extrapolations differ from Newton-Cotes formulas.
The sequence of functions f n is called a Picard sequence, [8] [9] named after Charles Émile Picard. For a given x in X, the sequence of values f n (x) is called the orbit of x. If f n (x) = f n+m (x) for some integer m > 0, the orbit is called a periodic orbit. The smallest such value of m for a given x is called the period of the orbit.
