A running total or rolling total is the summation of a sequence of numbers which is updated each time a new number is added to the sequence, by adding the value of the new number to the previous running total.
Pairwise summation is the default summation algorithm in NumPy [9] and the Julia technical-computing language, [10] where in both cases it was found to have comparable speed to naive summation (thanks to the use of a large base case).
The summation of an explicit sequence is denoted as a succession of additions. For example, summation of [1, 2, 4, 2] is denoted 1 + 2 + 4 + 2, and results in 9, that is, 1 + 2 + 4 + 2 = 9. Because addition is associative and commutative, there is no need for parentheses, and the result is the same irrespective of the order of the summands ...
var c = 0.0 // The array input has elements indexed for i = 1 to input.length do // c is zero the first time around. var y = input[i] + c // sum + c is an approximation to the exact sum. (sum,c) = Fast2Sum(sum,y) // Next time around, the lost low part will be added to y in a fresh attempt. next i return sum
Analogously to the case of the sum of a series, if α = 0, the result is convergence of the improper integral. In the case α = 1 , (C, 1) convergence is equivalent to the existence of the limit lim λ → ∞ 1 λ ∫ 0 λ ∫ 0 x f ( y ) d y d x {\displaystyle \lim _{\lambda \to \infty }{\frac {1}{\lambda }}\int _{0}^{\lambda }\int _{0}^{x}f ...
Middle Riemann sum of x ↦ x 3 over [0, 2] using 4 subintervals For the midpoint rule, the function is approximated by its values at the midpoints of the subintervals. This gives f ( a + Δ x /2) for the first subinterval, f ( a + 3Δ x /2) for the next one, and so on until f ( b − Δ x /2) .
The first four partial sums of 1 + 2 + 4 + 8 + ⋯. In mathematics, 1 + 2 + 4 + 8 + ⋯ is the infinite series whose terms are the successive powers of two. As a geometric series, it is characterized by its first term, 1, and its common ratio, 2. As a series of real numbers it diverges to infinity, so the sum of this series is infinity.
Prefix sums are trivial to compute in sequential models of computation, by using the formula y i = y i − 1 + x i to compute each output value in sequence order. However, despite their ease of computation, prefix sums are a useful primitive in certain algorithms such as counting sort, [1] [2] and they form the basis of the scan higher-order function in functional programming languages.
