  2. Word problem (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Word_problem_(mathematics)

    Note that the rewriting here is one-way. The word problem is the accessibility problem for symmetric rewrite relations, i.e. Thue systems. [27] The accessibility and word problems are undecidable, i.e. there is no general algorithm for solving this problem. [28]

  3. Word problem (mathematics education) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Word_problem_(mathematics...

    In Example 1 (above), if one does not comprehend the definition of the word "spent," they will misunderstand the entire purpose of the word problem. This alludes to how the cognitive skills lead to the development of the mathematical concepts. Some of the related mathematical skills necessary for solving word problems are mathematical ...

  4. Word problem for groups - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Word_problem_for_groups

    The word problem is a well-known example of an undecidable problem. If A {\displaystyle A} is a finite set of generators for G {\displaystyle G} , then the word problem is the membership problem for the formal language of all words in A {\displaystyle A} and a formal set of inverses that map to the identity under the natural map from the free ...

  5. Unit commitment problem in electrical power production

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_Commitment_Problem_in...

    In a free-market regime, the aim is rather to maximize energy production profits, i.e., the difference between revenues (due to selling energy) and costs (due to producing it). If the GenCo is a price maker, i.e., it has sufficient size to influence market prices, it may in principle perform strategic bidding [12] in order to improve its ...

  6. Operation (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_(mathematics)

    An n-ary operation ω on a set X is a function ω: X n → X. The set X n is called the domain of the operation, the output set is called the codomain of the operation, and the fixed non-negative integer n (the number of operands) is called the arity of the operation. Thus a unary operation has arity one, and a binary operation has arity two.

  7. Error correction code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Error_correction_code

    Here, each group of the same letter represents a 4-bit one-bit error-correcting codeword. The codeword cccc is altered in one bit and can be corrected, but the codeword dddd is altered in three bits, so either it cannot be decoded at all or it might be decoded incorrectly. With interleaving:

  8. Idempotence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idempotence

    Pressing the On button (green) is an idempotent operation, since it has the same effect whether done once or multiple times. Likewise, pressing Off is idempotent. Idempotence ( UK : / ˌ ɪ d ɛ m ˈ p oʊ t ən s / , [ 1 ] US : / ˈ aɪ d ə m -/ ) [ 2 ] is the property of certain operations in mathematics and computer science whereby they can ...

  9. Combinatorial optimization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combinatorial_optimization

    A minimum spanning tree of a weighted planar graph.Finding a minimum spanning tree is a common problem involving combinatorial optimization. Combinatorial optimization is a subfield of mathematical optimization that consists of finding an optimal object from a finite set of objects, [1] where the set of feasible solutions is discrete or can be reduced to a discrete set.
