  2. Inventor's paradox - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inventor's_paradox

    The inventor's paradox is a phenomenon that occurs in seeking a solution to a given problem. Instead of solving a specific type of problem, which would seem intuitively easier, it can be easier to solve a more general problem, which covers the specifics of the sought-after solution.

  3. Tridiagonal matrix algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tridiagonal_matrix_algorithm

    Indeed, multiplying each equation of the second auxiliary system by , adding with the corresponding equation of the first auxiliary system and using the representation = +, we immediately see that equations number 2 through n of the original system are satisfied; it only remains to satisfy equation number 1.

  4. Shooting method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shooting_method

    In numerical analysis, the shooting method is a method for solving a boundary value problem by reducing it to an initial value problem.It involves finding solutions to the initial value problem for different initial conditions until one finds the solution that also satisfies the boundary conditions of the boundary value problem.

  5. Collatz conjecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collatz_conjecture

    As an illustration of this, the parity cycle (1 1 0 0 1 1 0 0) and its sub-cycle (1 1 0 0) are associated to the same fraction ⁠ 5 / 7 ⁠ when reduced to lowest terms. In this context, assuming the validity of the Collatz conjecture implies that (1 0) and (0 1) are the only parity cycles generated by positive whole numbers (1 and 2 ...

  6. Numerical methods for ordinary differential equations - Wikipedia

    Because of this, different methods need to be used to solve BVPs. For example, the shooting method (and its variants) or global methods like finite differences, [3] Galerkin methods, [4] or collocation methods are appropriate for that class of problems. The Picard–Lindelöf theorem states that there is a unique solution, provided f is ...

  7. Equation solving - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equation_solving

    One particular solution is x = 0, y = 0, z = 0. Two other solutions are x = 3, y = 6, z = 1, and x = 8, y = 9, z = 2. There is a unique plane in three-dimensional space which passes through the three points with these coordinates, and this plane is the set of all points whose coordinates are solutions of the equation.

  8. Computational problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computational_problem

    For example, a counting problem associated with factoring is "Given a positive integer n, count the number of nontrivial prime factors of n." A counting problem can be represented by a function f from {0, 1} * to the nonnegative integers. For a search relation R, the counting problem associated to R is the function f R (x) = |{y: R(x, y) }|.

  9. Benders decomposition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benders_decomposition

    Solving this master problem will constitute a "first guess" at an optimal solution to the overall problem, with the value of unbounded below and taking on any feasible value. The set of cuts will be filled in a sequence of iterations by solving the inner maximization problem of the minimax formulation.
