  2. Numeric precision in Microsoft Excel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numeric_precision_in...

    Excel's storage of numbers in binary format also affects its accuracy. [3] To illustrate, the lower figure tabulates the simple addition 1 + x − 1 for several values of x. All the values of x begin at the 15 th decimal, so Excel must take them into account. Before calculating the sum 1 + x, Excel first approximates x as a binary number

  3. Hardy–Ramanujan–Littlewood circle method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardy–Ramanujan...

    The initial idea is usually attributed to the work of Hardy with Srinivasa Ramanujan a few years earlier, in 1916 and 1917, on the asymptotics of the partition function.It was taken up by many other researchers, including Harold Davenport and I. M. Vinogradov, who modified the formulation slightly (moving from complex analysis to exponential sums), without changing the broad lines.

  4. Separation of variables - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Separation_of_variables

    In the separation of variables, these functions are given by solutions to = Hence, the spectral theorem ensures that the separation of variables will (when it is possible) find all the solutions. For many differential operators, such as d 2 d x 2 {\displaystyle {\frac {d^{2}}{dx^{2}}}} , we can show that they are self-adjoint by integration by ...

  5. Segmented regression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Segmented_regression

    Segmented regression analysis can also be performed on multivariate data by partitioning the various independent variables. Segmented regression is useful when the independent variables, clustered into different groups, exhibit different relationships between the variables in these regions. The boundaries between the segments are breakpoints.

  6. Discretization - Wikipedia

    where is the Dirac comb, is discretization, is periodization, is a rapidly decreasing tempered distribution (e.g. a Dirac delta function or any other compactly supported function), is a smooth, slowly growing ordinary function (e.g. the function that is constantly or any other band-limited function) and is the (unitary, ordinary frequency ...

  7. Godunov's scheme - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godunov's_scheme

    The state variables obtained after Step 2 are averaged over each cell defining a new piecewise constant approximation resulting from the wave propagation during the time interval . To be consistent, the time interval Δ t {\displaystyle {\Delta t}\,} should be limited such that the waves emanating from an interface do not interact with waves ...

  8. Partition problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partition_problem

    Equal-cardinality partition is a variant in which both parts should have an equal number of items, in addition to having an equal sum. This variant is NP-hard too. [5]: SP12 Proof. Given a standard Partition instance with some n numbers, construct an Equal-Cardinality-Partition instance by adding n zeros. Clearly, the new instance has an equal ...

  9. Nondimensionalization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nondimensionalization

    Choose judiciously the definition of the characteristic unit for each variable so that the coefficients of as many terms as possible become 1; Rewrite the system of equations in terms of their new dimensionless quantities. The last three steps are usually specific to the problem where nondimensionalization is applied.
