  2. Greedy algorithm for Egyptian fractions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greedy_algorithm_for...

    The simplest fraction ⁠ 3 / y ⁠ with a three-term expansion is ⁠ 3 / 7 ⁠. A fraction ⁠ 4 / y ⁠ requires four terms in its greedy expansion if and only if y ≡ 1 or 17 (mod 24), for then the numerator −y mod x of the remaining fraction is 3 and the denominator is 1 (mod 6). The simplest fraction ⁠ 4 / y ⁠ with a four-term ...

  3. List of data structures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_data_structures

    This order is usually determined by the order in which the elements are added to the structure, but the elements can be rearranged in some contexts, such as sorting a list. For a structure that isn't ordered, on the other hand, no assumptions can be made about the ordering of the elements (although a physical implementation of these data types ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calkin–Wilf_tree

    In number theory, the Calkin–Wilf tree is a tree in which the vertices correspond one-to-one to the positive rational numbers.The tree is rooted at the number 1, and any rational number q expressed in simplest terms as the fraction ⁠ a / b ⁠ has as its two children the numbers ⁠ 1 / 1+1/q ⁠ = ⁠ a / a + b ⁠ and q + 1 = ⁠ a + b / b ⁠.

  5. Greatest common divisor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greatest_common_divisor

    The greatest common divisor (GCD) of integers a and b, at least one of which is nonzero, is the greatest positive integer d such that d is a divisor of both a and b; that is, there are integers e and f such that a = de and b = df, and d is the largest such integer.

  6. Irreducible fraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irreducible_fraction

    The notion of irreducible fraction generalizes to the field of fractions of any unique factorization domain: any element of such a field can be written as a fraction in which denominator and numerator are coprime, by dividing both by their greatest common divisor. [7] This applies notably to rational expressions over a field. The irreducible ...

  7. Divide-and-conquer algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divide-and-conquer_algorithm

    For example, this approach is used in some efficient FFT implementations, where the base cases are unrolled implementations of divide-and-conquer FFT algorithms for a set of fixed sizes. [12] Source-code generation methods may be used to produce the large number of separate base cases desirable to implement this strategy efficiently.

  8. Rational data type - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rational_data_type

    Python: The standard library includes a Fraction class in the module fractions. [6] Ruby: native support using special syntax. Smalltalk represents rational numbers using a Fraction class in the form p/q where p and q are arbitrary size integers. Applying the arithmetic operations *, +, -, /, to fractions returns a reduced fraction. With ...
