  2. Big O notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_O_notation

    Big O notation is a mathematical notation that describes the limiting behavior of a function when the argument tends towards a particular value or infinity. Big O is a member of a family of notations invented by German mathematicians Paul Bachmann, [1] Edmund Landau, [2] and others, collectively called Bachmann–Landau notation or asymptotic notation.

    Big O notation – Describes limiting behavior of a function; Leading-order term – Terms in a mathematical expression with the largest order of magnitude; Method of dominant balance – Solution of a simplified form of an equation; Method of matched asymptotic expansions

  4. Big O in probability notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_O_in_probability_notation

    The order in probability notation is used in probability theory and statistical theory in direct parallel to the big O notation that is standard in mathematics.Where the big O notation deals with the convergence of sequences or sets of ordinary numbers, the order in probability notation deals with convergence of sets of random variables, where convergence is in the sense of convergence in ...

    In computational complexity theory, asymptotic computational complexity is the usage of asymptotic analysis for the estimation of computational complexity of algorithms and computational problems, commonly associated with the usage of the big O notation.

  7. Matrix multiplication algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matrix_multiplication...

    Directly applying the mathematical definition of matrix multiplication gives an algorithm that takes time on the order of n 3 field operations to multiply two n × n matrices over that field (Θ(n 3) in big O notation). Better asymptotic bounds on the time required to multiply matrices have been known since the Strassen's algorithm in the 1960s ...

  8. Rate of convergence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rate_of_convergence

    In formal mathematics, rates of convergence and orders of convergence are often described comparatively using asymptotic notation commonly called "big O notation," which can be used to encompass both of the prior conventions; this is an application of asymptotic analysis.
