  2. Least common multiple - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Least_common_multiple

    The least common multiple of the denominators of two fractions is the "lowest common denominator" (lcd), and can be used for adding, subtracting or comparing the fractions. The least common multiple of more than two integers a , b , c , . . . , usually denoted by lcm( a , b , c , . . .) , is defined as the smallest positive integer that is ...

  3. Linear congruential generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_congruential_generator

    One method of producing a longer period is to sum the outputs of several LCGs of different periods having a large least common multiple; the Wichmann–Hill generator is an example of this form. (We would prefer them to be completely coprime , but a prime modulus implies an even period, so there must be a common factor of 2, at least.)

    In computer science, Tarjan's off-line lowest common ancestors algorithm is an algorithm for computing lowest common ancestors for pairs of nodes in a tree, based on the union-find data structure.

    lcm – lowest common multiple (a.k.a. least common multiple) of two numbers. LCHS – locally compact Hausdorff second countable. ld – binary logarithm (log 2). (Also written as lb.) lsc – lower semi-continuity. lerp – linear interpolation. [5] lg – common logarithm (log 10) or binary logarithm (log 2). LHS – left-hand side of an ...

  7. Lowest common ancestor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lowest_common_ancestor

    In this tree, the lowest common ancestor of the nodes x and y is marked in dark green. Other common ancestors are shown in light green. In graph theory and computer science, the lowest common ancestor (LCA) (also called least common ancestor) of two nodes v and w in a tree or directed acyclic graph (DAG) T is the lowest (i.e. deepest) node that has both v and w as descendants, where we define ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lehmer_random_number_generator

    The Lehmer random number generator [1] (named after D. H. Lehmer), sometimes also referred to as the Park–Miller random number generator (after Stephen K. Park and Keith W. Miller), is a type of linear congruential generator (LCG) that operates in multiplicative group of integers modulo n.

  9. Euclidean algorithm - Wikipedia

    The Euclidean algorithm calculates the greatest common divisor (GCD) of two natural numbers a and b.The greatest common divisor g is the largest natural number that divides both a and b without leaving a remainder.
