  2. Matrix (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matrix_(mathematics)

    For example, if A is a 3-by-0 matrix and B is a 0-by-3 matrix, then AB is the 3-by-3 zero matrix corresponding to the null map from a 3-dimensional space V to itself, while BA is a 0-by-0 matrix. There is no common notation for empty matrices, but most computer algebra systems allow creating and computing with them.

  3. Magic cube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_cube

    An example of a 3 × 3 × 3 magic cube. In this example, no slice is a magic square. In this case, the cube is classed as a simple magic cube.. In mathematics, a magic cube is the 3-dimensional equivalent of a magic square, that is, a collection of integers arranged in an n × n × n pattern such that the sums of the numbers on each row, on each column, on each pillar and on each of the four ...

  4. Kernel (linear algebra) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernel_(linear_algebra)

    Consider a linear map represented as a m × n matrix A with coefficients in a field K (typically or ), that is operating on column vectors x with n components over K. The kernel of this linear map is the set of solutions to the equation Ax = 0, where 0 is understood as the zero vector.

  5. Linear map - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_map

    Given a linear map which is an endomorphism whose matrix is A, in the basis B of the space it transforms vector coordinates [u] as [v] = A[u]. As vectors change with the inverse of B (vectors coordinates are contravariant ) its inverse transformation is [v] = B [v'].

  6. Bilinear map - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bilinear_map

    This may be seen by writing the zero vector 0 V as 00 V (and similarly for 0 W) and moving the scalar 0 "outside", in front of B, by linearity. The set L ( V , W ; X ) of all bilinear maps is a linear subspace of the space ( viz. vector space , module ) of all maps from V × W into X .

  7. Matrix exponential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matrix_exponential

    We denote the n×n identity matrix by I and the zero matrix by 0. The matrix exponential satisfies the following properties. [2] We begin with the properties that are immediate consequences of the definition as a power series: e 0 = I; exp(X T) = (exp X) T, where X T denotes the transpose of X. exp(X ∗) = (exp X) ∗, where X ∗ denotes the ...

  8. Z-order curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z-order_curve

    The Z-ordering can be used to efficiently build a quadtree (2D) or octree (3D) for a set of points. [5] [6] The basic idea is to sort the input set according to Z-order.Once sorted, the points can either be stored in a binary search tree and used directly, which is called a linear quadtree, [7] or they can be used to build a pointer based quadtree.

  9. Halley's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halley's_method

    In numerical analysis, Halley's method is a root-finding algorithm used for functions of one real variable with a continuous second derivative. Edmond Halley was an English mathematician and astronomer who introduced the method now called by his name. The algorithm is second in the class of Householder's methods, after Newton's method.
