  2. Round function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Round_function

    In topology and in calculus, a round function is a scalar function, over a manifold, whose critical points form one or several connected components, each homeomorphic to the circle, also called critical loops.

  3. Rounding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rounding

    Rounding to a specified power is very different from rounding to a specified multiple; for example, it is common in computing to need to round a number to a whole power of 2. The steps, in general, to round a positive number x to a power of some positive number b other than 1, are:

  4. Round (cryptography) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Round_(cryptography)

    Daemen and Rijmen assert that one of the goals of optimizing the cipher is reducing the overall workload, the product of the round complexity and the number of rounds. There are two approaches to address this goal: [2] local optimization improves the worst-case behavior of a single round (two rounds for Feistel ciphers);

  5. Kahan summation algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kahan_summation_algorithm

    A portable way to inhibit such optimizations locally is to break one of the lines in the original formulation into two statements, and make two of the intermediate products volatile: function KahanSum(input) var sum = 0.0 var c = 0.0 for i = 1 to input.length do var y = input[i] - c volatile var t = sum + y volatile var z = t - sum c = z - y ...

  6. Round-off error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Round-off_error

    Round-to-nearest: () is set to the nearest floating-point number to . When there is a tie, the floating-point number whose last stored digit is even (also, the last digit, in binary form, is equal to 0) is used.

  7. Machine epsilon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine_epsilon

    The two terms differ by simply a factor of two. The more-widely used term (referred to as the mainstream definition in this article), is used in most modern programming languages and is simply defined as machine epsilon is the difference between 1 and the next larger floating point number.

  8. Guard digit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guard_digit

    The addition of the two numbers is: 0.0256*10^2 2.3400*10^2 + _____ 2.3656*10^2 After padding the second number (i.e., ) with two s, the bit after is the guard digit, and the bit after is the round digit

  9. Mathematics of apportionment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematics_of_apportionment

    Mathematically, an apportionment method is just a method of rounding real numbers to natural numbers. Despite the simplicity of this problem, every method of rounding suffers one or more paradoxes, as proven by the Balinski-Young theorem. The mathematical theory of apportionment identifies what properties can be expected from an apportionment ...
