In mathematics, summation by parts transforms the summation of products of sequences into other summations, often simplifying the computation or (especially) estimation of certain types of sums. It is also called Abel's lemma or Abel transformation , named after Niels Henrik Abel who introduced it in 1826.
In mathematics, an expansion of a product of sums expresses it as a sum of products by using the fact that multiplication distributes over addition. Expansion of a polynomial expression can be obtained by repeatedly replacing subexpressions that multiply two other subexpressions, at least one of which is an addition, by the equivalent sum of products, continuing until the expression becomes a ...
In mathematics, summation is the addition of a sequence of numbers, called addends or summands; the result is their sum or total.Beside numbers, other types of values can be summed as well: functions, vectors, matrices, polynomials and, in general, elements of any type of mathematical objects on which an operation denoted "+" is defined.
Vieta's formulas can equivalently be written as < < < (=) = for k = 1, 2, ..., n (the indices i k are sorted in increasing order to ensure each product of k roots is used exactly once). The left-hand sides of Vieta's formulas are the elementary symmetric polynomials of the roots.
The natural numbers 0 and 1 are trivial sum-product numbers for all , and all other sum-product numbers are nontrivial sum-product numbers. For example, the number 144 in base 10 is a sum-product number, because 1 + 4 + 4 = 9 {\displaystyle 1+4+4=9} , 1 × 4 × 4 = 16 {\displaystyle 1\times 4\times 4=16} , and 9 × 16 = 144 {\displaystyle 9 ...
The De Morgan dual is the canonical conjunctive normal form , maxterm canonical form, or Product of Sums (PoS or POS) which is a conjunction (AND) of maxterms. These forms can be useful for the simplification of Boolean functions, which is of great importance in the optimization of Boolean formulas in general and digital circuits in particular.
The inner product of two vectors is the sum of the products of their corresponding components, with the indices of one vector lowered (see #Raising and lowering indices): , = , = In the case of an orthonormal basis, we have =, and the expression simplifies to: , = =
In Boolean algebra, Petrick's method [1] (also known as Petrick function [2] or branch-and-bound method) is a technique described by Stanley R. Petrick (1931–2006) [3] [4] in 1956 [5] [6] for determining all minimum sum-of-products solutions from a prime implicant chart. [7]
