  2. Linear congruential generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_congruential_generator

    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.

  3. 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.

  4. Recamán's sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recamán's_sequence

    In mathematics and computer science, Recamán's sequence [1] [2] is a well known sequence defined by a recurrence relation. Because its elements are related to the previous elements in a straightforward way, they are often defined using recursion .

  5. Recursion (computer science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recursion_(computer_science)

    A common algorithm design tactic is to divide a problem into sub-problems of the same type as the original, solve those sub-problems, and combine the results. This is often referred to as the divide-and-conquer method; when combined with a lookup table that stores the results of previously solved sub-problems (to avoid solving them repeatedly and incurring extra computation time), it can be ...

  6. Lucas sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucas_sequence

    Lucas sequences are used in some primality proof methods, including the Lucas–Lehmer–Riesel test, and the N+1 and hybrid N−1/N+1 methods such as those in Brillhart-Lehmer-Selfridge 1975. [ 4 ] LUC is a public-key cryptosystem based on Lucas sequences [ 5 ] that implements the analogs of ElGamal (LUCELG), Diffie–Hellman (LUCDIF), and RSA ...

  7. Longest common subsequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longest_common_subsequence

    For LCS(R 2, C 1), A is compared with A. The two elements match, so A is appended to ε, giving (A). For LCS(R 2, C 2), A and G do not match, so the longest of LCS(R 1, C 2), which is (G), and LCS(R 2, C 1), which is (A), is used. In this case, they each contain one element, so this LCS is given two subsequences: (A) and (G).

  8. Clenshaw algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clenshaw_algorithm

    [1] [2] The method was published by Charles William Clenshaw in 1955. It is a generalization of Horner's method for evaluating a linear combination of monomials. It generalizes to more than just Chebyshev polynomials; it applies to any class of functions that can be defined by a three-term recurrence relation. [3]

  9. Constant-recursive sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constant-recursive_sequence

    The sequence 2, 1, 3, 4, 7, 11, ... of Lucas numbers satisfies the same recurrence as the Fibonacci sequence but with initial conditions = and =. More generally, every Lucas sequence is constant-recursive of order 2.
