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 ...
The relative mean absolute difference quantifies the mean absolute difference in comparison to the size of the mean and is a dimensionless quantity. The relative mean absolute difference is equal to twice the Gini coefficient which is defined in terms of the Lorenz curve. This relationship gives complementary perspectives to both the relative ...
Pretty-printing (or prettyprinting) is the application of any of various stylistic formatting conventions to text files, such as source code, markup, and similar kinds of content. These formatting conventions may entail adhering to an indentation style , using different color and typeface to highlight syntactic elements of source code, or ...
Absolute zero, the lowest limit of the thermodynamic temperature scale; Absolute magnitude, a measure of the luminosity of a celestial object; Relative change and difference, used to compare two quantities taking into account the "sizes" of the things being compared; Absolute (disambiguation) Number (disambiguation)
Compute the difference (z/k) - z/k; note that the difference is an n-vector. Label the vertex z by a label in 1, ..., d, denoting the largest coordinate in the difference vector. The resulting labeling corresponds to a possible play of the d-dimensional Hex game among d players. This game must have a winner, and Gale presents an algorithm for ...
These differences are summed to create a simple metric of block similarity, the L 1 norm of the difference image or Manhattan distance between two image blocks. The sum of absolute differences may be used for a variety of purposes, such as object recognition, the generation of disparity maps for stereo images, and motion estimation for video ...

In mathematics, divided differences is an algorithm, historically used for computing tables of logarithms and trigonometric functions. [citation needed] Charles Babbage's difference engine, an early mechanical calculator, was designed to use this algorithm in its operation. [1] Divided differences is a recursive division process.
