  2. Round-off error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Round-off_error

    Example: the decimal number () = (¯) can be rearranged into + ⏟ … Since the 53rd bit to the right of the binary point is a 1 and is followed by other nonzero bits, the round-to-nearest rule requires rounding up, that is, add 1 bit to the 52nd bit.

  3. Pollaczek–Khinchine formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pollaczek–Khinchine_formula

    In queueing theory, a discipline within the mathematical theory of probability, the Pollaczek–Khinchine formula states a relationship between the queue length and service time distribution Laplace transforms for an M/G/1 queue (where jobs arrive according to a Poisson process and have general service time distribution). The term is also used ...

  4. Limits of computation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limits_of_computation

    The Bekenstein bound limits the amount of information that can be stored within a spherical volume to the entropy of a black hole with the same surface area.; Thermodynamics limit the data storage of a system based on its energy, number of particles and particle modes.

  5. Rate of convergence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rate_of_convergence

    This "smaller rates converge more quickly" behavior among sequences of the same order is standard but it can be counterintuitive. Therefore it is also common to define ⁡ as the rate; this is the "number of extra decimals of precision per iterate" for sequences that converge with order 1. [1]

    The above is obtained using a second order approximation, following the method used in estimating the first moment. It will be a poor approximation in cases where () is highly non-linear. This is a special case of the delta method.

  7. Arbitrary-precision arithmetic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arbitrary-precision_arithmetic

    With the example in view, a number of details can be discussed. The most important is the choice of the representation of the big number. In this case, only integer values are required for digits, so an array of fixed-width integers is adequate. It is convenient to have successive elements of the array represent higher powers of the base.

  8. Asymptotic analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asymptotic_analysis

    The domain of f and g can be any set for which the limit is defined: e.g. real numbers, complex numbers, positive integers. The same notation is also used for other ways of passing to a limit: e.g. x → 0, x ↓ 0, | x | → 0. The way of passing to the limit is often not stated explicitly, if it is clear from the context.

  9. Gödel numbering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gödel_numbering

    In mathematical logic, a Gödel numbering is a function that assigns to each symbol and well-formed formula of some formal language a unique natural number, called its Gödel number. Kurt Gödel developed the concept for the proof of his incompleteness theorems .
