  2. Absolute difference - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolute_difference

    The absolute difference is used to define other quantities including the relative difference, the L 1 norm used in taxicab geometry, and graceful labelings in graph theory. When it is desirable to avoid the absolute value function – for example because it is expensive to compute, or because its derivative is not continuous – it can ...

  3. Difference of two squares - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Difference_of_two_squares

    Another geometric proof proceeds as follows: We start with the figure shown in the first diagram below, a large square with a smaller square removed from it. The side of the entire square is a, and the side of the small removed square is b. The area of the shaded region is . A cut is made, splitting the region into two rectangular pieces, as ...

  4. Absolute value - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolute_value

    The real absolute value function is an example of a continuous function that achieves a global minimum where the derivative does not exist. The subdifferential of | x | at x = 0 is the interval [−1, 1]. [14] The complex absolute value function is continuous everywhere but complex differentiable nowhere because it violates the Cauchy–Riemann ...

  5. Absolute value (algebra) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolute_value_(algebra)

    The standard absolute value on the integers. The standard absolute value on the complex numbers.; The p-adic absolute value on the rational numbers.; If R is the field of rational functions over a field F and () is a fixed irreducible polynomial over F, then the following defines an absolute value on R: for () in R define | | to be , where () = () and ((), ()) = = ((), ()).

  6. Root mean square deviation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root_mean_square_deviation

    The RMSD of a sample is the quadratic mean of the differences between the ... (MAE) instead of the root mean square deviation. MAE possesses advantages in ...

  7. p-adic valuation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P-adic_valuation

    The p-adic valuation is a valuation and gives rise to an analogue of the usual absolute value. Whereas the completion of the rational numbers with respect to the usual absolute value results in the real numbers R {\displaystyle \mathbb {R} } , the completion of the rational numbers with respect to the p {\displaystyle p} -adic absolute value ...

  8. Square-difference-free set - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square-difference-free_set

    In the game of subtract a square, the positions where the next player loses form a square-difference-free set. Another square-difference-free set is obtained by doubling the Moser–de Bruijn sequence. The best known upper bound on the size of a square-difference-free set of numbers up to is only slightly sublinear, but the largest known sets ...

  9. Absolute convergence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolute_convergence

    The same definition can be used for series = whose terms are not numbers but rather elements of an arbitrary abelian topological group.In that case, instead of using the absolute value, the definition requires the group to have a norm, which is a positive real-valued function ‖ ‖: + on an abelian group (written additively, with identity element 0) such that:
