Provided the floating-point arithmetic is correctly rounded to nearest (with ties resolved any way), as is the default in IEEE 754, and provided the sum does not overflow and, if it underflows, underflows gradually, it can be proven that + = +. [1] [6] [2]
An Egyptian fraction is a representation of an irreducible fraction as a sum of distinct unit fractions, such as 5 / 6 = 1 / 2 + 1 / 3 . As the name indicates, these representations have been used as long ago as ancient Egypt , but the first published systematic method for constructing such expansions was described in ...
Two's complement is the most common method of representing signed (positive, negative, and zero) integers on computers, [1] and more generally, fixed point binary values. Two's complement uses the binary digit with the greatest value as the sign to indicate whether the binary number is positive or negative; when the most significant bit is 1 the number is signed as negative and when the most ...
Using a summed-area table (2.) of a 6×6 matrix (1.) to sum up a subrectangle of its values; each coloured spot highlights the sum inside the rectangle of that colour. A summed-area table is a data structure and algorithm for quickly and efficiently generating
The sum of the reciprocals of the cubes of positive integers is called Apéry's constant ζ(3) , and equals approximately 1.2021 . This number is irrational, but it is not known whether or not it is transcendental. The reciprocals of the non-negative integer powers of 2 sum to 2 . This is a particular case of the sum of the reciprocals of any ...
The problem is NP-hard even when all input integers are positive (and the target-sum T is a part of the input). This can be proved by a direct reduction from 3SAT. [2] It can also be proved by reduction from 3-dimensional matching (3DM): [3] We are given an instance of 3DM, where the vertex sets are W, X, Y. Each set has n vertices.

The subset sum problem is a special case of the decision and 0-1 problems where each kind of item, the weight equals the value: =. In the field of cryptography, the term knapsack problem is often used to refer specifically to the subset sum problem. The subset sum problem is one of Karp's 21 NP-complete problems. [2]
