In 1988, I.G. Macdonald [2] gave the second proof of a combinatorial interpretation of the Macdonald polynomials (equations (4.11) and (5.13)). Macdonald’s formula is different to that in Haglund, Haiman, and Loehr's work, with many fewer terms (this formula is proved also in Macdonald's seminal work, [ 3 ] Ch. VI (7.13)).
The elementary functions are constructed by composing arithmetic operations, the exponential function (), the natural logarithm (), trigonometric functions (,), and their inverses. The complexity of an elementary function is equivalent to that of its inverse, since all elementary functions are analytic and hence invertible by means of Newton's ...
To find the next to last digit, we need everything that influences this digit: The temporary result, the last digit of times the next-to-last digit of , as well as the next-to-last digit of times the last digit of . This calculation is performed, and we have a temporary result that is correct in the final two digits.
A difference engine is an automatic mechanical calculator designed to tabulate polynomial functions. It was designed in the 1820s, and was created by Charles Babbage. The name difference engine is derived from the method of finite differences, a way to interpolate or tabulate functions by using a small set of polynomial co-efficients.
A ring of symmetric functions can be defined over any commutative ring R, and will be denoted Λ R; the basic case is for R = Z. The ring Λ R is in fact a graded R-algebra. There are two main constructions for it; the first one given below can be found in (Stanley, 1999), and the second is essentially the one given in (Macdonald, 1979).
The half subtractor is a combinational circuit which is used to perform subtraction of two bits. It has two inputs, the minuend and subtrahend and two outputs the difference and borrow out . The borrow out signal is set when the subtractor needs to borrow from the next digit in a multi-digit subtraction.
[2] The Curta calculator used the method of complements for subtraction, and managed to hide this from the user. Numbers were entered using digit input slides along the side of the device. The number on each slide was added to a result counter by a gearing mechanism which engaged cams on a rotating "echelon drum" (a.k.a. "step drum").
When adding two numbers using two's complement representation, overflow results in a "wrap-around" phenomenon. The result can be a catastrophic loss in signal-to-noise ratio in a DSP system. Signals in DSP designs are therefore usually either scaled appropriately to avoid overflow for all but the most extreme input vectors, or produced using ...
