  2. Computational complexity of mathematical operations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computational_complexity...

    The elementary functions are constructed by composing arithmetic operations, the exponential function (), the natural logarithm (), trigonometric functions (,), and their inverses. The complexity of an elementary function is equivalent to that of its inverse, since all elementary functions are analytic and hence invertible by means of Newton's ...

  3. MATLAB - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MATLAB

    MATLAB (an abbreviation of "MATrix LABoratory" [18]) is a proprietary multi-paradigm programming language and numeric computing environment developed by MathWorks.MATLAB allows matrix manipulations, plotting of functions and data, implementation of algorithms, creation of user interfaces, and interfacing with programs written in other languages.

  4. Cholesky decomposition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cholesky_decomposition

    The Kalman filter tracks the average state of a system as a vector x of length N and covariance as an N × N matrix P. The matrix P is always positive semi-definite and can be decomposed into LL T. The columns of L can be added and subtracted from the mean x to form a set of 2N vectors called sigma points. These sigma points completely capture ...

  5. Rope (data structure) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rope_(data_structure)

    The split point is at the end of a string (i.e. after the last character of a leaf node) The split point is in the middle of a string. The second case reduces to the first by splitting the string at the split point to create two new leaf nodes, then creating a new node that is the parent of the two component strings.

  6. Elliptic curve point multiplication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elliptic_curve_point...

    Example: 100P can be written as 2(2[P + 2(2[2(P + 2P)])]) and thus requires six point double operations and two point addition operations. 100P would be equal to f(P, 100). This algorithm requires log 2 (d) iterations of point doubling and addition to compute the full point multiplication. There are many variations of this algorithm such as ...

  7. Interior-point method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interior-point_method

    An interior point method was discovered by Soviet mathematician I. I. Dikin in 1967. [1] The method was reinvented in the U.S. in the mid-1980s. In 1984, Narendra Karmarkar developed a method for linear programming called Karmarkar's algorithm, [2] which runs in provably polynomial time (() operations on L-bit numbers, where n is the number of variables and constants), and is also very ...

  8. Finite difference coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finite_difference_coefficient

    For arbitrary stencil points and any derivative of order < up to one less than the number of stencil points, the finite difference coefficients can be obtained by solving the linear equations [6] ( s 1 0 ⋯ s N 0 ⋮ ⋱ ⋮ s 1 N − 1 ⋯ s N N − 1 ) ( a 1 ⋮ a N ) = d !

  9. Calculus of variations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calculus_of_Variations

    The calculus of variations began with the work of Isaac Newton, such as with Newton's minimal resistance problem, which he formulated and solved in 1685, and published in his Principia in 1687, [2] which was the first problem in the field to be clearly formulated and correctly solved, and was one of the most difficult problems tackled by variational methods prior to the twentieth century.
