  2. Kahan summation algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kahan_summation_algorithm

    Computers typically use binary arithmetic, but to make the example easier to read, it will be given in decimal. Suppose we are using six-digit decimal floating-point arithmetic , sum has attained the value 10000.0, and the next two values of input[i] are 3.14159 and 2.71828.

    It is assumed that the value of a function f defined on [,] is known at + equally spaced points: < < <.There are two classes of Newton–Cotes quadrature: they are called "closed" when = and =, i.e. they use the function values at the interval endpoints, and "open" when > and <, i.e. they do not use the function values at the endpoints.

  4. Trapezoidal rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trapezoidal_rule

    In calculus, the trapezoidal rule (also known as the trapezoid rule or trapezium rule) [a] is a technique for numerical integration, i.e., approximating the definite integral: (). The trapezoidal rule works by approximating the region under the graph of the function f ( x ) {\displaystyle f(x)} as a trapezoid and calculating its area.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cut-elimination_theorem

    The cut-elimination theorem (or Gentzen's Hauptsatz) is the central result establishing the significance of the sequent calculus.It was originally proved by Gerhard Gentzen in part I of his landmark 1935 paper "Investigations in Logical Deduction" [1] for the systems LJ and LK formalising intuitionistic and classical logic respectively.

  6. No free lunch in search and optimization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_free_lunch_in_search...

    There is no free lunch in search if and only if the distribution on objective functions is invariant under permutation of the space of candidate solutions. [5] [6] [7] This condition does not hold precisely in practice, [6] but an "(almost) no free lunch" theorem suggests that it holds approximately. [8]

  7. Proof sketch for Gödel's first incompleteness theorem

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proof_sketch_for_Gödel's...

    In the second part, a specific formula PF(x, y) is constructed such that for any two numbers n and m, PF(n,m) holds if and only if n represents a sequence of formulas that constitutes a proof of the formula that m represents. In the third part of the proof, we construct a self-referential formula that, informally, says "I am not provable", and ...

  8. General Leibniz rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Leibniz_rule

    The proof of the general Leibniz rule [2]: 68–69 proceeds by induction. Let f {\displaystyle f} and g {\displaystyle g} be n {\displaystyle n} -times differentiable functions. The base case when n = 1 {\displaystyle n=1} claims that: ( f g ) ′ = f ′ g + f g ′ , {\displaystyle (fg)'=f'g+fg',} which is the usual product rule and is known ...

  9. Itô's lemma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Itô's_lemma

    Hans Föllmer provided a non-probabilistic proof of the Itô formula and showed that it holds for all functions with finite quadratic variation. [ 3 ] Let f ∈ C 2 {\displaystyle f\in C^{2}} be a real-valued function and x : [ 0 , ∞ ] → R {\displaystyle x:[0,\infty ]\to \mathbb {R} } a right-continuous function with left limits and finite ...
