  2. Line length - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_length

    In typography, line length is the width of a block of typeset text, usually measured in units of length like inches or points or in characters per line (in which case it is a measure). A block of text or paragraph has a maximum line length that fits a determined design. If the lines are too short then the text becomes disjointed; if they are ...

  3. Lagrange multiplier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lagrange_multiplier

    In mathematical optimization, the method of Lagrange multipliers is a strategy for finding the local maxima and minima of a function subject to equation constraints (i.e., subject to the condition that one or more equations have to be satisfied exactly by the chosen values of the variables). [1]

  4. Characters per line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Characters_per_line

    Standard paper sizes, such as the international standard A4, also impose limitations on line length: using the US standard Letter paper size (8.5×11"), it is only possible to print a maximum of 85 or 102 characters (with the font size either 10 or 12 characters per inch) without margins on the typewriter. With various margins – usually from ...

  5. Restriction (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    More generally, the restriction (or domain restriction or left-restriction) of a binary relation between and may be defined as a relation having domain , codomain and graph ( ) = {(,) ():}. Similarly, one can define a right-restriction or range restriction R B . {\displaystyle R\triangleright B.}

  6. Distance from a point to a line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Distance_from_a_point_to_a_line

    The line with equation ax + by + c = 0 has slope -a/b, so any line perpendicular to it will have slope b/a (the negative reciprocal). Let ( m , n ) be the point of intersection of the line ax + by + c = 0 and the line perpendicular to it which passes through the point ( x 0 , y 0 ).

  7. Mathematical optimization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_optimization

    The optimization of portfolios is an example of multi-objective optimization in economics. Since the 1970s, economists have modeled dynamic decisions over time using control theory. [14] For example, dynamic search models are used to study labor-market behavior. [15] A crucial distinction is between deterministic and stochastic models. [16]

  8. List of limits - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_limits

    In general, any infinite series is the limit of its partial sums. For example, an analytic function is the limit of its Taylor series, within its radius of convergence. = =. This is known as the harmonic series. [6]

  9. Wolfe conditions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolfe_conditions

    Each step often involves approximately solving the subproblem (+) where is the current best guess, is a search direction, and is the step length. The inexact line searches provide an efficient way of computing an acceptable step length that reduces the objective function 'sufficiently', rather than minimizing the objective function over + exactly.
