  2. Birthday problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birthday_problem

    Evaluating equation gives P(A′) ≈ 0.492703. Therefore, P(B) ≈ 1 − 0.492703 = 0.507297 (50.7297%). This process can be generalized to a group of n people, where p(n) is the probability of at least two of the n people sharing a birthday. It is easier to first calculate the probability p (n) that all n birthdays are different.

  3. Pollard's rho algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pollard's_rho_algorithm

    If the pseudorandom number = occurring in the Pollard ρ algorithm were an actual random number, it would follow that success would be achieved half the time, by the birthday paradox in () (/) iterations. It is believed that the same analysis applies as well to the actual rho algorithm, but this is a heuristic claim, and rigorous analysis of ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbolab

    Symbolab is an answer engine [1] that provides step-by-step solutions to mathematical problems in a range of subjects. [2] It was originally developed by Israeli start-up company EqsQuest Ltd., under whom it was released for public use in 2011. In 2020, the company was acquired by American educational technology website Course Hero. [3] [4]

  5. Birthday attack - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birthday_attack

    A birthday attack is a bruteforce collision attack that exploits the mathematics behind the birthday problem in probability theory. This attack can be used to abuse communication between two or more parties. The attack depends on the higher likelihood of collisions found between random attack attempts and a fixed degree of permutations ...

  6. Talk:Birthday problem/Archive 1 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Birthday_problem/...

    The Birthday_paradox#Binomial_distribution calculation is not valid at all. While it somehow approximates the real probability, it lacks the necessary rationality: 1. The paradox is talking about "at least two persons may have same birthday". This includes not only pairs, but also 3 persons groups, 4 persons groups and 23 persons as well.

  7. Initial value problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Initial_value_problem

    In multivariable calculus, an initial value problem [a] (IVP) is an ordinary differential equation together with an initial condition which specifies the value of the unknown function at a given point in the domain. Modeling a system in physics or other sciences frequently amounts to solving an initial value problem.

  8. Direct multiple shooting method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Direct_multiple_shooting_method

    The boundary value problem solver's performance suffers from this. Even stable and well-conditioned ODEs may make for unstable and ill-conditioned BVPs. A slight alteration of the initial value guess y 0 may generate an extremely large step in the ODEs solution y(t b; t a, y 0) and thus in the values of the function F whose root is sought. Non ...

  9. Apportionment paradox - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apportionment_paradox

    An example of the apportionment paradox known as "the Alabama paradox" was discovered in the context of United States congressional apportionment in 1880, [1]: 228–231 when census calculations found that if the total number of seats in the House of Representatives were hypothetically increased, this would decrease Alabama's seats from 8 to 7.
