  2. Minkowski's second theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minkowski's_second_theorem

    A basis of linearly independent lattice vectors b 1, b 2, ..., b n can be defined by g(b j) = λ j.. The lower bound is proved by considering the convex polytope 2n with vertices at ±b j / λ j, which has an interior enclosed by K and a volume which is 2 n /n!λ 1 λ 2...λ n times an integer multiple of a primitive cell of the lattice (as seen by scaling the polytope by λ j along each basis ...

  3. Threefold repetition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Threefold_repetition

    The rule is also known as repetition of position and, in the USCF rules, as triple occurrence of position. [1] Two positions are by definition "the same" if the same types of pieces occupy the same squares, the same player has the move, the remaining castling rights are the same and the possibility to capture en passant is the same.

  4. Arithmetic progression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arithmetic_progression

    For instance, the sequence 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, . . . is an arithmetic progression with a common difference of 2. If the initial term of an arithmetic progression is a 1 {\displaystyle a_{1}} and the common difference of successive members is d {\displaystyle d} , then the n {\displaystyle n} -th term of the sequence ( a n {\displaystyle a_{n ...

  5. Fisher–Yates shuffle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fisher–Yates_shuffle

    Tracing successive positions as just mentioned, there is no difference between π and σ until arriving at position k. But then, under π the element originally at position k is moved to the final position rather than to position l, and the element originally at the final position is moved to position l.

  6. Six nines in pi - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six_nines_in_pi

    A sequence of six consecutive nines occurs in the decimal representation of the number pi (π), starting at the 762nd decimal place. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] It has become famous because of the mathematical coincidence , and because of the idea that one could memorize the digits of π up to that point, and then suggest that π is rational .

  7. Gauss–Seidel method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauss–Seidel_method

    In numerical linear algebra, the Gauss–Seidel method, also known as the Liebmann method or the method of successive displacement, is an iterative method used to solve a system of linear equations. It is named after the German mathematicians Carl Friedrich Gauss and Philipp Ludwig von Seidel .

  8. de Bruijn sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Bruijn_sequence

    This power of 2 is multiplied (arithmetic modulo 2 32) by the de Bruijn sequence, thus producing a 32-bit product in which the bit sequence of the 5 MSBs is unique for each power of 2. The 5 MSBs are shifted into the LSB positions to produce a hash code in the range [0, 31], which is then used as an index into hash table BitPositionLookup.

  9. 8.8 cm KwK 36 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/8.8_cm_KwK_36

    In British firing trials during the war, a British gunner scored five successive hits from 1,200 yards (1,100 m) at a 16-by-18-inch (41 by 46 cm) target. Another five rounds were fired at targets moving at 15 miles per hour (24 km/h), and, although smoke obscured the gunners' observation, three hits were scored after directions given by the ...
