  2. Newton's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_method

    In the formulation given above, the scalars x n are replaced by vectors x n and instead of dividing the function f(x n) by its derivative f ′ (x n) one instead has to left multiply the function F(x n) by the inverse of its k × k Jacobian matrix J F (x n). [20] [21] [22] This results in the expression

    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.

    If f(x) is a smooth function integrated over a small number of dimensions, and the domain of integration is bounded, there are many methods for approximating the integral to the desired precision. Numerical integration has roots in the geometrical problem of finding a square with the same area as a given plane figure ( quadrature or squaring ...

    For example, given a function defined on the interval [,] and a degree bound , a minimax polynomial approximation algorithm will find a polynomial of degree at most to minimize max a ≤ x ≤ b | f ( x ) − p ( x ) | . {\displaystyle \max _{a\leq x\leq b}|f(x)-p(x)|.} [ 3 ]

    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 ...

  7. Least-squares function approximation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Least-squares_function...

    In mathematics, least squares function approximation applies the principle of least squares to function approximation, by means of a weighted sum of other functions.The best approximation can be defined as that which minimizes the difference between the original function and the approximation; for a least-squares approach the quality of the approximation is measured in terms of the squared ...

  8. Polynomial evaluation - Wikipedia

    Horner's method evaluates a polynomial using repeated bracketing: + + + + + = + (+ (+ (+ + (+)))). This method reduces the number of multiplications and additions to just Horner's method is so common that a computer instruction "multiply–accumulate operation" has been added to many computer processors, which allow doing the addition and multiplication operations in one combined step.

  9. Horner's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horner's_method

    In binary (base-2) math, multiplication by a power of 2 is merely a register shift operation. Thus, multiplying by 2 is calculated in base-2 by an arithmetic shift. The factor (2 −1) is a right arithmetic shift, a (0) results in no operation (since 2 0 = 1 is the multiplicative identity element), and a (2 1) results in a left arithmetic shift ...
