  2. Local property - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local_property

    For commutative rings, ideas of algebraic geometry make it natural to take a "small neighborhood" of a ring to be the localization at a prime ideal. In which case, a property is said to be local if it can be detected from the local rings. For instance, being a flat module over a commutative ring is a local property, but being a free module is not

  3. Roblox - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roblox

    Roblox (/ ˈ r oʊ b l ɒ k s / ⓘ, ROH-bloks) is an online game platform and game creation system developed by Roblox Corporation that allows users to program and play games created by themselves or other users. It was created by David Baszucki and Erik Cassel in 2004, and released to the public in 2006. As of August 2020, the platform has ...

  4. Maximum and minimum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_and_minimum

    The definition of local minimum point can also proceed similarly. In both the global and local cases, the concept of a strict extremum can be defined. For example, x ∗ is a strict global maximum point if for all x in X with x ≠ x ∗ , we have f ( x ∗ ) > f ( x ) , and x ∗ is a strict local maximum point if there exists some ε > 0 such ...

  5. Geometry Dash - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometry_Dash

    Three spin-off games accompany the main series: Geometry Dash Meltdown, Geometry Dash World and Geometry Dash SubZero. Geometry Dash Lite is a free version of the main game that removes certain levels and icons, the level editor, and many online features. Both the spinoff games and Geometry Dash Lite contain advertisements.

  6. Gradient descent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gradient_descent

    The gradient descent can take many iterations to compute a local minimum with a required accuracy, if the curvature in different directions is very different for the given function. For such functions, preconditioning, which changes the geometry of the space to shape the function level sets like concentric circles, cures the slow convergence ...

  7. Germ (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germ_(mathematics)

    The key word in the applications of germs is locality: all local properties of a function at a point can be studied by analyzing its germ. They are a generalization of Taylor series, and indeed the Taylor series of a germ (of a differentiable function) is defined: you only need local information to compute derivatives.

  8. Global optimization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_optimization

    Global optimization is distinguished from local optimization by its focus on finding the minimum or maximum over the given set, as opposed to finding local minima or maxima. Finding an arbitrary local minimum is relatively straightforward by using classical local optimization methods. Finding the global minimum of a function is far more ...

  9. Coordinate descent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordinate_descent

    Coordinate descent is an optimization algorithm that successively minimizes along coordinate directions to find the minimum of a function.At each iteration, the algorithm determines a coordinate or coordinate block via a coordinate selection rule, then exactly or inexactly minimizes over the corresponding coordinate hyperplane while fixing all other coordinates or coordinate blocks.
