    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Error_detection_and_correction

    A checksum of a message is a modular arithmetic sum of message code words of a fixed word length (e.g., byte values). The sum may be negated by means of a ones'-complement operation prior to transmission to detect unintentional all-zero messages.

  3. Cycle detection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cycle_detection

    Cycle detection is the problem of finding i and j, given f and x 0. Several algorithms are known for finding cycles quickly and with little memory. Robert W. Floyd 's tortoise and hare algorithm moves two pointers at different speeds through the sequence of values until they both point to equal values.

  4. Newton's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_method

    The following is an example of a possible implementation of Newton's method in the Python (version 3.x) programming language for finding a root of a function f which has derivative f_prime. The initial guess will be x 0 = 1 and the function will be f ( x ) = x 2 − 2 so that f ′ ( x ) = 2 x .

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_algorithms

    An algorithm is fundamentally a set of rules or defined procedures that is typically designed and used to solve a specific problem or a broad set of problems.. Broadly, algorithms define process(es), sets of rules, or methodologies that are to be followed in calculations, data processing, data mining, pattern recognition, automated reasoning or other problem-solving operations.

  7. Brent's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brent's_method

    Modern improvements on Brent's method include Chandrupatla's method, which is simpler and faster for functions that are flat around their roots; [3] [4] Ridders' method, which performs exponential interpolations instead of quadratic providing a simpler closed formula for the iterations; and the ITP method which is a hybrid between regula-falsi ...

  8. Learning with errors - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learning_with_errors

    The problem calls for finding the function , or some close approximation thereof, with high probability. The LWE problem was introduced by Oded Regev in 2005 [ 3 ] (who won the 2018 Gödel Prize for this work); it is a generalization of the parity learning problem.

  9. P versus NP problem - Wikipedia

    These classes are not equal, because undecidable but verifiable problems do exist, for example, Hilbert's tenth problem which is RE-complete. [57] A similar problem exists in the theory of algebraic complexity: VP vs. VNP problem. Like P vs. NP, the answer is currently unknown. [58] [57]
