  2. Root-finding algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root-finding_algorithm

    Solving an equation f(x) = g(x) is the same as finding the roots of the function h(x) = f(x) – g(x). Thus root-finding algorithms can be used to solve any equation of continuous functions. However, most root-finding algorithms do not guarantee that they will find all roots of a function, and if such an algorithm does not find any root, that ...

  3. How to Solve It - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/How_to_Solve_It

    How to Solve It suggests the following steps when solving a mathematical problem: . First, you have to understand the problem. [2]After understanding, make a plan. [3]Carry out the plan.

  4. Test functions for optimization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Test_functions_for...

    The artificial landscapes presented herein for single-objective optimization problems are taken from Bäck, [1] Haupt et al. [2] and from Rody Oldenhuis software. [3] Given the number of problems (55 in total), just a few are presented here. The test functions used to evaluate the algorithms for MOP were taken from Deb, [4] Binh et al. [5] and ...

  5. Heuristic (computer science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heuristic_(computer_science)

    In mathematical optimization and computer science, heuristic (from Greek εὑρίσκω "I find, discover" [1]) is a technique designed for problem solving more quickly when classic methods are too slow for finding an exact or approximate solution, or when classic methods fail to find any exact solution in a search space.

  6. Regularized least squares - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regularized_least_squares

    Regularized least squares (RLS) is a family of methods for solving the least-squares problem while using regularization to further constrain the resulting solution. RLS is used for two main reasons. The first comes up when the number of variables in the linear system exceeds the number of observations.

  7. Crossed ladders problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossed_ladders_problem

    Divide the baseline into two parts at the point where it meets , and call the left and right parts and respectively. The angle where a {\displaystyle a} meets w {\displaystyle w} is common to two similar triangles with bases w {\displaystyle w} and w 1 {\displaystyle w_{1}} respectively.

  8. Constrained least squares - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constrained_least_squares

    In constrained least squares one solves a linear least squares problem with an additional constraint on the solution. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] This means, the unconstrained equation X β = y {\displaystyle \mathbf {X} {\boldsymbol {\beta }}=\mathbf {y} } must be fit as closely as possible (in the least squares sense) while ensuring that some other property ...

  9. Optimization problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optimization_problem

    For each combinatorial optimization problem, there is a corresponding decision problem that asks whether there is a feasible solution for some particular measure m 0. For example, if there is a graph G which contains vertices u and v , an optimization problem might be "find a path from u to v that uses the fewest edges".
