Pairwise summation is the default summation algorithm in NumPy [9] and the Julia technical-computing language, [10] where in both cases it was found to have comparable speed to naive summation (thanks to the use of a large base case).
From this, S now knows that of the possible pairs based on the sum (viz. 2+15, 3+14, 4+13, 5+12, 6+11, 7+10, 8+9) only one has a product that would allow P to deduce the answer, that being 4 + 13. The reader can then deduce the only possible solution based on the fact that S was able to determine it.
The subset sum problem (SSP) is a decision problem in computer science. In its most general formulation, there is a multiset of integers and a target-sum , and the question is to decide whether any subset of the integers sum to precisely . [1] The problem is known to be NP-complete.
In computer science, the maximum sum subarray problem, also known as the maximum segment sum problem, is the task of finding a contiguous subarray with the largest sum, within a given one-dimensional array A[1...n] of numbers. It can be solved in () time and () space.
The method of exponent pairs gives a class of estimates for functions with a particular smoothness property. Fix parameters N , R , T , s ,δ. We consider functions f defined on an interval [ N ,2 N ] which are R times continuously differentiable , satisfying
Computation of the sum 2 + 5 + 8 + 11 + 14. When the sequence is reversed and added to itself term by term, the resulting sequence has a single repeated value in it, equal to the sum of the first and last numbers (2 + 14 = 16). Thus 16 × 5 = 80 is twice the sum.
Although all amicable pairs up to 10,000 are even pairs, the proportion of odd amicable pairs increases steadily towards higher numbers, and presumably there are more of them than of the even amicable pairs (A360054 in OEIS). Gaussian integer amicable pairs exist, [14] [15] e.g. s(8008+3960i) = 4232-8280i and s(4232-8280i) = 8008+3960i. [16]
It may be used to prove Nicomachus's theorem that the sum of the first cubes equals the square of the sum of the first positive integers. [2] Summation by parts is frequently used to prove Abel's theorem and Dirichlet's test.
