  2. Z-order curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z-order_curve

    The Z-ordering can be used to efficiently build a quadtree (2D) or octree (3D) for a set of points. [5] [6] The basic idea is to sort the input set according to Z-order.Once sorted, the points can either be stored in a binary search tree and used directly, which is called a linear quadtree, [7] or they can be used to build a pointer based quadtree.

  3. Array (data type) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Array_(data_type)

    An array data structure can be mathematically modeled as an abstract data structure (an abstract array) with two operations get(A, I): the data stored in the element of the array A whose indices are the integer tuple I. set(A, I, V): the array that results by setting the value of that element to V. These operations are required to satisfy the ...

    defines a primary function simpleFun that implicitly applies custom subfunction myCustomFun to each element of an array using built-in function arrayfun. Alternatively, it may be desirable to abstract the mechanisms of the array storage container from the user by defining a custom object-oriented MATLAB implementation of the Iterator Pattern.

  5. Higher-order function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Higher-order_function

    In this Erlang example, the higher-order function or_else/2 takes a list of functions (Fs) and argument (X). It evaluates the function F with the argument X as argument. If the function F returns false then the next function in Fs will be evaluated. If the function F returns {false, Y} then the next function in Fs with argument Y will be

  6. Map (higher-order function) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Map_(higher-order_function)

    The map function originated in functional programming languages. The language Lisp introduced a map function called maplist [3] in 1959, with slightly different versions already appearing in 1958. [4] This is the original definition for maplist, mapping a function over successive rest lists:

  7. Mesh generation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesh_generation

    The terms "mesh generation," "grid generation," "meshing," " and "gridding," are often used interchangeably, although strictly speaking the latter two are broader and encompass mesh improvement: changing the mesh with the goal of increasing the speed or accuracy of the numerical calculations that will be performed over it.

  8. Cube mapping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cube_mapping

    The lower left image shows a scene with a viewpoint marked with a black dot. The upper image shows the net of the cube mapping as seen from that viewpoint, and the lower right image shows the cube superimposed on the original scene. In computer graphics, cube mapping is a method of environment mapping that uses the six faces of a cube as the ...

  9. Generating function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generating_function

    The ordinary generating function of a two-dimensional array a m,n (where n and m are natural numbers) is: (,;,) =, =,. For instance, since (1 + x ) n is the ordinary generating function for binomial coefficients for a fixed n , one may ask for a bivariate generating function that generates the binomial coefficients ( n
