  2. Point in polygon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_in_polygon

    This algorithm is sometimes also known as the crossing number algorithm or the even–odd rule algorithm, and was known as early as 1962. [3] The algorithm is based on a simple observation that if a point moves along a ray from infinity to the probe point and if it crosses the boundary of a polygon, possibly several times, then it alternately ...

  3. Crossing number (graph theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossing_number_(graph_theory)

    In graph theory, the crossing number cr (G) of a graph G is the lowest number of edge crossings of a plane drawing of the graph G. For instance, a graph is planar if and only if its crossing number is zero. Determining the crossing number continues to be of great importance in graph drawing, as user studies have shown that drawing graphs with ...

  4. Sinc function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinc_function

    Sinc function. In mathematics, physics and engineering, the sinc function, denoted by sinc (x), has two forms, normalized and unnormalized. [1] In mathematics, the historical unnormalized sinc function is defined for x ≠ 0 by. Alternatively, the unnormalized sinc function is often called the sampling function, indicated as Sa (x). [2]

  5. Zero crossing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero_crossing

    A zero-crossing in a line graph of a waveform representing voltage over time. A zero-crossing is a point where the sign of a mathematical function changes (e.g. from positive to negative), represented by an intercept of the axis (zero value) in the graph of the function. It is a commonly used term in electronics, mathematics, acoustics, and ...

  6. Canny edge detector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canny_edge_detector

    A variational explanation for the main ingredient of the Canny edge detector, that is, finding the zero crossings of the 2nd derivative along the gradient direction, was shown to be the result of minimizing a Kronrod–Minkowski functional while maximizing the integral over the alignment of the edge with the gradient field (Kimmel and ...

  7. NumPy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NumPy

    numpy.org. NumPy (pronounced / ˈnʌmpaɪ / NUM-py) is a library for the Python programming language, adding support for large, multi-dimensional arrays and matrices, along with a large collection of high-level mathematical functions to operate on these arrays. [3] The predecessor of NumPy, Numeric, was originally created by Jim Hugunin with ...

  8. Newton's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_method

    In numerical analysis, Newton's method, also known as the Newton–Raphson method, named after Isaac Newton and Joseph Raphson, is a root-finding algorithm which produces successively better approximations to the roots (or zeroes) of a real -valued function. The most basic version starts with a real-valued function f, its derivative f ′, and ...

  9. Longest path problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longest_path_problem

    Find a topological ordering of the given DAG. For each vertex v of the DAG, in the topological ordering, compute the length of the longest path ending at v by looking at its incoming neighbors and adding one to the maximum length recorded for those neighbors. If v has no incoming neighbors, set the length of the longest path ending at v to zero ...
