Another example is attempting to make 40 US cents without nickels (denomination 25, 10, 1) with similar result — the greedy chooses seven coins (25, 10, and 5 × 1), but the optimal is four (4 × 10). A coin system is called "canonical" if the greedy algorithm always solves its change-making problem optimally.
On the example of a torus knot, the tangent vector T, the normal vector N, and the binormal vector B, along with the curvature κ(s), and the torsion τ(s) are displayed. At the peaks of the torsion function the rotation of the Frenet–Serret frame ( T , N , B ) around the tangent vector is clearly visible.
A reflection about a line or plane that does not go through the origin is not a linear transformation — it is an affine transformation — as a 4×4 affine transformation matrix, it can be expressed as follows (assuming the normal is a unit vector): [′ ′ ′] = [] [] where = for some point on the plane, or equivalently, + + + =.
A real random vector = (, …,) is called a centered normal random vector if there exists a matrix such that has the same distribution as where is a standard normal random vector with components. [ 1 ] : p. 454
For example, for Newton's method as applied to a function f to oscillate between 0 and 1, it is only necessary that the tangent line to f at 0 intersects the x-axis at 1 and that the tangent line to f at 1 intersects the x-axis at 0. [19] This is the case, for example, if f(x) = x 3 − 2x + 2.
In detail, if h is a displacement vector represented by a column matrix, the matrix product J(x) ⋅ h is another displacement vector, that is the best linear approximation of the change of f in a neighborhood of x, if f(x) is differentiable at x.
It is also possible in some cases to fix the problem by applying a transformation to the response variable (e.g., fitting the logarithm of the response variable using a linear regression model, which implies that the response variable itself has a log-normal distribution rather than a normal distribution).
Other examples of infinite-dimensional normed vector spaces can be found in the Banach space article. Generally, these norms do not give the same topologies. For example, an infinite-dimensional ℓ p {\displaystyle \ell ^{p}} space gives a strictly finer topology than an infinite-dimensional ℓ q {\displaystyle \ell ^{q}} space when p < q ...
