  2. Combined linear congruential generator - Wikipedia

    The maximum period of the two LCGs used is calculated using the formula: [1] This equates to 2.1×10 9 for the two LCGs used. This CLCG shown in this example has a maximum period of: ( m 11 ) ( m 21 ) / 22.3 × 10 18 {\displaystyle (m_{1}-1)(m_{2}-1)/2\approx 2.3\times 10^{18}} This represents a tremendous improvement over the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Range_minimum_query

    Range minimum query reduced to the lowest common ancestor problem.. Given an array A[1 … n] of n objects taken from a totally ordered set, such as integers, the range minimum query RMQ A (l,r) =arg min A[k] (with 1 ≤ l ≤ k ≤ r ≤ n) returns the position of the minimal element in the specified sub-array A[l …

    [4] The most-common visualization of the Recamán's sequence is simply plotting its values, such as the figure seen here. On January 14, 2018, the Numberphile YouTube channel published a video titled The Slightly Spooky Recamán Sequence, [3] showing a visualization using alternating semi-circles, as it is shown in the figure at top of this page.

  5. Least common multiple - Wikipedia

    For example, 10 is a multiple of 5 because 5 × 2 = 10, so 10 is divisible by 5 and 2. Because 10 is the smallest positive integer that is divisible by both 5 and 2, it is the least common multiple of 5 and 2. By the same principle, 10 is the least common multiple of −5 and −2 as well.

    If m is a power of 2, then a − 1 should be divisible by 4 but not divisible by 8, i.e. a ≡ 5 (mod 8). [1]: §3.2.1.3 Indeed, most multipliers produce a sequence which fails one test for non-randomness or another, and finding a multiplier which is satisfactory to all applicable criteria [1]: §3.3.3 is quite challenging. [8]

    Thus the first reduction step produces a value at most m + a − 1 ≤ 2m − 2 = 2 e+14. This is an ( e + 1)-bit number, which can be greater than m (i.e. might have bit e set), but the high half is at most 1, and if it is, the low e bits will be strictly less than m .

  8. Linear recurrence with constant coefficients - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_recurrence_with...

    In mathematics (including combinatorics, linear algebra, and dynamical systems), a linear recurrence with constant coefficients [1]: ch. 17 [2]: ch. 10 (also known as a linear recurrence relation or linear difference equation) sets equal to 0 a polynomial that is linear in the various iterates of a variable—that is, in the values of the elements of a sequence.

  9. Euclidean algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclidean_algorithm

    s −2 = 1, t −2 = 0 s −1 = 0, t −1 = 1. Using this recursion, Bézout's integers s and t are given by s = s N and t = t N, where N + 1 is the step on which the algorithm terminates with r N+1 = 0. The validity of this approach can be shown by induction. Assume that the recursion formula is correct up to step k − 1 of the algorithm; in ...
