  2. nth-term test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nth-term_test

    In mathematics, the nth-term test for divergence [1] is a simple test for the divergence of an infinite series: If lim n → ∞ a n ≠ 0 {\displaystyle \lim _{n\to \infty }a_{n}\neq 0} or if the limit does not exist, then ∑ n = 1 ∞ a n {\displaystyle \sum _{n=1}^{\infty }a_{n}} diverges.

  3. Recurrence relation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recurrence_relation

    In mathematics, a recurrence relation is an equation according to which the th term of a sequence of numbers is equal to some combination of the previous terms. Often, only previous terms of the sequence appear in the equation, for a parameter that is independent of ; this number is called the order of the relation.

  4. Geometric progression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometric_progression

    For example, the sequence 2, 6, 18, 54, ... is a geometric progression with a common ratio of 3. Similarly 10, 5, 2.5, 1.25, ... is a geometric sequence with a common ratio of 1/2. Examples of a geometric sequence are powers r k of a fixed non-zero number r, such as 2 k and 3 k. The general form of a geometric sequence is

  5. Geometric series - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometric_series

    The geometric series is an infinite series derived from a special type of sequence called a geometric progression.This means that it is the sum of infinitely many terms of geometric progression: starting from the initial term , and the next one being the initial term multiplied by a constant number known as the common ratio .

  6. Arithmetico-geometric sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arithmetico-geometric_sequence

    The nth element of an arithmetico-geometric sequence is the product of the nth element of an arithmetic sequence and the nth element of a geometric sequence. [1] An arithmetico-geometric series is a sum of terms that are the elements of an arithmetico-geometric sequence.

  7. Fermat number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermat_number

    If N = F n > 3, then the above Jacobi symbol is always equal to −1 for a = 3, and this special case of Proth's theorem is known as Pépin's test. Although Pépin's test and Proth's theorem have been implemented on computers to prove the compositeness of some Fermat numbers, neither test gives a specific nontrivial factor.

    There are a number of example GP models written with this package here. GGPLAB is a MATLAB toolbox for specifying and solving geometric programs (GPs) and generalized geometric programs (GGPs). CVXPY is a Python-embedded modeling language for specifying and solving convex optimization problems, including GPs, GGPs, and LLCPs. [7]
