  2. Obstacle problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obstacle_problem

    The obstacle problem is a classic motivating example in the mathematical study of variational inequalities and free boundary problems.The problem is to find the equilibrium position of an elastic membrane whose boundary is held fixed, and which is constrained to lie above a given obstacle.

    The original Voodoo Graphics card and the VSA-100 [3] [4] were also SLI-capable. However, in the case of the former, it was only used in arcades [ 5 ] [ 6 ] , as well as professional applications via Primary Image's Piranha [ 7 ] [ 8 ] [ 9 ] card, intended for use with simulations using various [ 10 ] [ 11 ] graphics APIs such as OpenGL, Glide ...

    Many mathematical problems have been stated but not yet solved. These problems come from many areas of mathematics, such as theoretical physics, computer science, algebra, analysis, combinatorics, algebraic, differential, discrete and Euclidean geometries, graph theory, group theory, model theory, number theory, set theory, Ramsey theory, dynamical systems, and partial differential equations.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hadwiger–Nelson_problem

    According to Jensen & Toft (1995), the problem was first formulated by Nelson in 1950, and first published by Gardner (1960). Hadwiger (1945) had earlier published a related result, showing that any cover of the plane by five congruent closed sets contains a unit distance in one of the sets, and he also mentioned the problem in a later paper (Hadwiger 1961).

    (0,0) is at the top left corner of the grid, (1,1) is at the top left end of the line and (11, 5) is at the bottom right end of the line. The following conventions will be applied: the top-left is (0,0) such that pixel coordinates increase in the right and down directions (e.g. that the pixel at (7,4) is directly above the pixel at (7,5)), and

  7. Collatz conjecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collatz_conjecture

    As an illustration of this, the parity cycle (1 1 0 0 1 1 0 0) and its sub-cycle (1 1 0 0) are associated to the same fraction ⁠ 5 / 7 ⁠ when reduced to lowest terms. In this context, assuming the validity of the Collatz conjecture implies that (1 0) and (0 1) are the only parity cycles generated by positive whole numbers (1 and 2 ...

  8. Mathematical problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_problem

    A mathematical problem is a problem that can be represented, analyzed, and possibly solved, with the methods of mathematics.This can be a real-world problem, such as computing the orbits of the planets in the solar system, or a problem of a more abstract nature, such as Hilbert's problems.

    P versus NP problem; What is the relationship between BQP and NP?; NC = P problem The P vs NP problem is a major unsolved question in computer science that asks whether every problem whose solution can be quickly verified by a computer (NP) can also be quickly solved by a computer (P).
