  2. Sum of squares - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sum_of_squares

    The sum of squares is not factorable. The squared Euclidean distance between two points, equal to the sum of squares of the differences between their coordinates. Heron's formula for the area of a triangle can be re-written as using the sums of squares of a triangle's sides (and the sums of the squares of squares)

  3. Sum of squares function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sum_of_squares_function

    The number of ways to write a natural number as sum of two squares is given by r 2 (n). It is given explicitly by = (() ()) where d 1 (n) is the number of divisors of n which are congruent to 1 modulo 4 and d 3 (n) is the number of divisors of n which are congruent to 3 modulo 4. Using sums, the expression can be written as:

  4. Subset sum problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subset_sum_problem

    The subset sum problem (SSP) is a decision problem in computer science. In its most general formulation, there is a multiset of integers and a target-sum , and the question is to decide whether any subset of the integers sum to precisely .[1] The problem is known to be NP-complete. Moreover, some restricted variants of it are NP-complete too ...

  5. Sum-of-squares optimization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sum-of-Squares_Optimization

    Sum-of-squares optimization. A sum-of-squares optimization program is an optimization problem with a linear cost function and a particular type of constraint on the decision variables. These constraints are of the form that when the decision variables are used as coefficients in certain polynomials, those polynomials should have the polynomial ...

  6. Pell number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pell_number

    In mathematics, the Pell numbers are an infinite sequence of integers, known since ancient times, that comprise the denominators of the closest rational approximations to the square root of 2. This sequence of approximations begins ⁠ 1 1 ⁠, ⁠ 3 2 ⁠, ⁠ 7 5 ⁠, ⁠ 17 12 ⁠, and ⁠ 41 29 ⁠, so the sequence of Pell numbers begins ...

  7. Mandelbrot set - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandelbrot_set

    For example, while calculating whether or not a given c value is bound or unbound, while it remains bound, the maximum value that this number reaches can be compared to the c value at that location. If the sum of squares method is used, the calculated number would be max:(real^2 + imaginary^2) - c:(real^2 + imaginary^2).

  8. Floating-point arithmetic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floating-point_arithmetic

    t. e. In computing, floating-point arithmetic (FP) is arithmetic that represents subsets of real numbers using an integer with a fixed precision, called the significand, scaled by an integer exponent of a fixed base. Numbers of this form are called floating-point numbers. [1]: 3 [2]: 10 For example, 12.345 is a floating-point number in base ten ...

  9. Summation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Summation

    t. e. 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.
