  2. Parity (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    The parity function maps a number to the number of 1's in its binary representation, modulo 2, so its value is zero for evil numbers and one for odious numbers. The Thue–Morse sequence, an infinite sequence of 0's and 1's, has a 0 in position i when i is evil, and a 1 in that position when i is odious. [23]

  3. Collatz conjecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collatz_conjecture

    Which operation is performed, ⁠ 3n + 1 / 2 ⁠ or ⁠ n / 2 ⁠, depends on the parity. The parity sequence is the same as the sequence of operations. Using this form for f(n), it can be shown that the parity sequences for two numbers m and n will agree in the first k terms if and only if m and n are equivalent modulo 2 k. This implies that ...

  4. Thue–Morse sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thue–Morse_sequence

    It is sometimes called the fair share sequence because of its applications to fair division or parity sequence. The first few steps of this procedure yield the strings 0, 01, 0110, 01101001, 0110100110010110, and so on, which are the prefixes of the Thue–Morse sequence.

  5. Parity of a permutation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parity_of_a_permutation

    The numbers in the right column are the inversion numbers (sequence A034968 in the OEIS), which have the same parity as the permutation. In mathematics , when X is a finite set with at least two elements, the permutations of X (i.e. the bijective functions from X to X ) fall into two classes of equal size: the even permutations and the odd ...

  6. Even and odd functions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Even_and_odd_functions

    They are named for the parity of the powers of the power functions which satisfy each condition: the function () = is even if n is an even integer, and it is odd if n is an odd integer. Even functions are those real functions whose graph is self-symmetric with respect to the y -axis, and odd functions are those whose graph is self-symmetric ...

  7. Parity bit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parity_bit

    Type of bit parity Successful transmission scenario Even parity: Alice wants to transmit: 1001 and 1011 Alice computes parity bit value: 1+0+0+1 (mod 2) = 0 1+0+1+1 (mod 2) = 1 Alice adds parity bit and sends: 10010 and 10111. Bob receives: 10010 and 10111 Bob computes parity: 1+0+0+1+0 (mod 2) = 0

  8. Heptagonal number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heptagonal_number

    The parity of heptagonal numbers follows the pattern odd-odd-even-even. Like square numbers , the digital root in base 10 of a heptagonal number can only be 1, 4, 7 or 9. Five times a heptagonal number, plus 1 equals a triangular number .

  9. Stirling numbers of the first kind - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stirling_numbers_of_the...

    A two-sum formula can be obtained using one of the symmetric formulae for Stirling numbers in conjunction with the explicit formula for Stirling numbers of the second kind. [ n k ] = ∑ j = n 2 n − k ( j − 1 k − 1 ) ( 2 n − k j ) ∑ m = 0 j − n ( − 1 ) m + n − k m j − k m !
