  2. Pancake sorting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pancake_sorting

    Pancake sorting is the mathematical problem of sorting a disordered stack of pancakes in order of size when a spatula can be inserted at any point in the stack and used to flip all pancakes above it. A pancake number is the minimum number of flips required for a given number of pancakes. In this form, the problem was first discussed by American ...

  3. Gaussian elimination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaussian_elimination

    In mathematics, Gaussian elimination, also known as row reduction, is an algorithm for solving systems of linear equations. It consists of a sequence of row-wise operations performed on the corresponding matrix of coefficients. This method can also be used to compute the rank of a matrix, the determinant of a square matrix, and the inverse of ...

  4. Bitwise operation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitwise_operation

    Bitwise operation. In computer programming, a bitwise operation operates on a bit string, a bit array or a binary numeral (considered as a bit string) at the level of its individual bits. It is a fast and simple action, basic to the higher-level arithmetic operations and directly supported by the processor.

  5. Binary Golay code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_Golay_code

    Mathematical definition. In mathematical terms, the extended binary Golay code G24 consists of a 12-dimensional linear subspace W of the space V = F24. 2 of 24-bit words such that any two distinct elements of W differ in at least 8 coordinates. W is called a linear code because it is a vector space. In all, W comprises 4096 = 212 elements.

  6. Singular value decomposition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singular_value_decomposition

    Bottom: The action of Σ, a scaling by the singular values σ1 horizontally and σ2 vertically. Right: The action of U, another rotation. In linear algebra, the singular value decomposition (SVD) is a factorization of a real or complex matrix into a rotation, followed by a rescaling followed by another rotation.

  7. Matrix (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    In mathematics, a matrix (pl.: matrices) is a rectangular array or table of numbers, symbols, or expressions, with elements or entries arranged in rows and columns, which is used to represent a mathematical object or property of such an object. For example, is a matrix with two rows and three columns.

  8. Hamming code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamming_code

    In mathematical terms, Hamming codes are a class of binary linear code. For each integer r ≥ 2 there is a code-word with block length n = 2r − 1 and message length k = 2r − r − 1. Hence the rate of Hamming codes is R = k / n = 1 − r / (2r − 1), which is the highest possible for codes with minimum distance of three (i.e., the minimal ...

  9. Cannon's algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannon's_algorithm

    In computer science, Cannon's algorithm is a distributed algorithm for matrix multiplication for two-dimensional meshes first described in 1969 by Lynn Elliot Cannon. [1][2] It is especially suitable for computers laid out in an N × N mesh. [3] While Cannon's algorithm works well in homogeneous 2D grids, extending it to heterogeneous 2D grids ...
