An n-bit LUT can encode any n-input Boolean function by storing the truth table of the function in the LUT. This is an efficient way of encoding Boolean logic functions, and LUTs with 4-6 bits of input are in fact the key component of modern field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) which provide reconfigurable hardware logic capabilities.
Two whole numbers m and n are called coprime if their greatest common divisor is 1, that is, if there is no prime number that divides both of them. Then an arithmetic function a is additive if a(mn) = a(m) + a(n) for all coprime natural numbers m and n; multiplicative if a(1) = 1 and a(mn) = a(m)a(n) for all coprime natural numbers m and n.
A perfect totient number is an integer that is equal to the sum of its iterated totients. That is, we apply the totient function to a number n, apply it again to the resulting totient, and so on, until the number 1 is reached, and add together the resulting sequence of numbers; if the sum equals n, then n is a perfect totient number.
In mathematics, a Boolean function is a function whose arguments and result assume values from a two-element set (usually {true, false}, {0,1} or {-1,1}). [1] [2] Alternative names are switching function, used especially in older computer science literature, [3] [4] and truth function (or logical function), used in logic.
The value of a function, given the value(s) assigned to its argument(s), is the quantity assumed by the function for these argument values. [1] [2] For example, if the function f is defined by f (x) = 2 x 2 – 3 x + 1, then assigning the value 3 to its argument x yields the function value 10, since f (3) = 2·3 2 – 3·3 + 1 = 10.
An example is boron carbide, whose formula of CB n is a variable non-whole number ratio, with n ranging from over 4 to more than 6.5. When the chemical compound of the formula consists of simple molecules , chemical formulas often employ ways to suggest the structure of the molecule.
Formally, a function of n variables is a function whose domain is a set of n-tuples. [note 3] For example, multiplication of integers is a function of two variables, or bivariate function, whose domain is the set of all ordered pairs (2-tuples) of integers, and whose codomain is the set of integers. The same is true for every binary operation.
In mathematics, the Bernoulli numbers B n are a sequence of rational numbers which occur frequently in analysis.The Bernoulli numbers appear in (and can be defined by) the Taylor series expansions of the tangent and hyperbolic tangent functions, in Faulhaber's formula for the sum of m-th powers of the first n positive integers, in the Euler–Maclaurin formula, and in expressions for certain ...
