  2. Least fixed point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Least_fixed_point

    The function f(x) = x 2 − 4 has two fixed points, shown as the intersection with the blue line; its least one is at 1/2 − √ 17 /2.. In order theory, a branch of mathematics, the least fixed point (lfp or LFP, sometimes also smallest fixed point) of a function from a partially ordered set ("poset" for short) to itself is the fixed point which is less than each other fixed point, according ...

  3. Singular value - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singular_value

    Schmidt called singular values "eigenvalues" at that time. The name "singular value" was first quoted by Smithies in 1937. In 1957, Allahverdiev proved the following characterization of the n th singular number: [ 5 ]

  4. Twelvefold way - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twelvefold_way

    The formula counting all functions N → X is not useful here, because the number of them grouped together by permutations of N varies from one function to another. Rather, as explained under combinations , the number of n -multicombinations from a set with x elements can be seen to be the same as the number of n -combinations from a set with x ...

  5. Characteristic function (probability theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Characteristic_function...

    The characteristic function of a uniform U(–1,1) random variable. This function is real-valued because it corresponds to a random variable that is symmetric around the origin; however characteristic functions may generally be complex-valued. In probability theory and statistics, the characteristic function of any real-valued random variable ...

  6. Thomae's function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomae's_function

    The function's integral is equal to over any set because the function is equal to zero almost everywhere. If G = { ( x , f ( x ) ) : x ∈ ( 0 , 1 ) } ⊂ R 2 {\displaystyle G=\{\,(x,f(x)):x\in (0,1)\,\}\subset \mathbb {R} ^{2}} is the graph of the restriction of f {\displaystyle f} to ( 0 , 1 ) {\displaystyle (0,1)} , then the box-counting ...

  7. Multivalued function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multivalued_function

    We can treat arctan as a single-valued function by restricting the domain of tan x to − π /2 < x < π /2 – a domain over which tan x is monotonically increasing. Thus, the range of arctan(x) becomes − π /2 < y < π /2. These values from a restricted domain are called principal values. The antiderivative can be considered as a ...

  8. Kleene's recursion theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kleene's_recursion_theorem

    The function can be constructed from the partial computable function (,) described above and the s-m-n theorem: for each , () is the index of a program which computes the function (,). To complete the proof, let F {\displaystyle F} be any total computable function, and construct h {\displaystyle h} as above.

  9. Column generation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Column_generation

    The idea is thus to start by solving the considered program with only a subset of its variables. Then iteratively, variables that have the potential to improve the objective function are added to the program. Once it is possible to demonstrate that adding new variables would no longer improve the value of the objective function, the procedure ...
