  2. Reciprocal polynomial - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reciprocal_polynomial

    Reciprocal polynomials have several connections with their original polynomials, including: deg p = deg p ∗ if is not 0.; p(x) = x n p ∗ (x −1). [2]α is a root of a polynomial p if and only if α −1 is a root of p ∗.

  3. Newton's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_method

    One may also use Newton's method to solve systems of k equations, which amounts to finding the (simultaneous) zeroes of k continuously differentiable functions :. This is equivalent to finding the zeroes of a single vector-valued function F : R k → R k . {\displaystyle F:\mathbb {R} ^{k}\to \mathbb {R} ^{k}.}

  4. List of sums of reciprocals - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sums_of_reciprocals

    The harmonic mean of a set of positive integers is the number of numbers times the reciprocal of the sum of their reciprocals. The optic equation requires the sum of the reciprocals of two positive integers a and b to equal the reciprocal of a third positive integer c. All solutions are given by a = mn + m 2, b = mn + n 2, c = mn.

  5. Moore–Penrose inverse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moore–Penrose_inverse

    For example, in the MATLAB or GNU Octave function pinv, the tolerance is taken to be t = ε⋅max(m, n)⋅max(Σ), where ε is the machine epsilon. The computational cost of this method is dominated by the cost of computing the SVD, which is several times higher than matrix–matrix multiplication, even if a state-of-the art implementation ...

  6. Beta function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beta_function

    The Pascal-like identity above implies that this function is a solution to the first-order partial differential equation h = h a + h b . {\displaystyle h=h_{a}+h_{b}.} For x , y ≥ 1 {\displaystyle x,y\geq 1} , the beta function may be written in terms of a convolution involving the truncated power function t ↦ t + x {\displaystyle t\mapsto ...

  7. Condition number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condition_number

    Condition numbers can also be defined for nonlinear functions, and can be computed using calculus.The condition number varies with the point; in some cases one can use the maximum (or supremum) condition number over the domain of the function or domain of the question as an overall condition number, while in other cases the condition number at a particular point is of more interest.

  8. Quadratic reciprocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratic_reciprocity

    It is defined to be 1 if and only if the equation + = has a solution in the completion of the rationals at v other than = = =. The Hilbert reciprocity law states that ( a , b ) v {\displaystyle (a,b)_{v}} , for fixed a and b and varying v , is 1 for all but finitely many v and the product of ( a , b ) v {\displaystyle (a,b)_{v}} over all v is 1.

  9. Hypergeometric function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypergeometric_function

    The equation has two linearly independent solutions. At each of the three singular points 0, 1, ∞, there are usually two special solutions of the form x s times a holomorphic function of x, where s is one of the two roots of the indicial equation and x is a local variable vanishing at a regular singular point. This gives 3 × 2 = 6 special ...
