  2. Linear congruential generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_congruential_generator

    A structure similar to LCGs, but not equivalent, is the multiple-recursive generator: X n = (a 1 X n−1 + a 2 X n−2 + ··· + a k X n−k) mod m for k ≥ 2. With a prime modulus, this can generate periods up to m k −1, so is a useful extension of the LCG structure to larger periods.

  3. 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 .

  4. 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).

  5. Corecursion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corecursion

    In computer science, corecursion is a type of operation that is dual to recursion.Whereas recursion works analytically, starting on data further from a base case and breaking it down into smaller data and repeating until one reaches a base case, corecursion works synthetically, starting from a base case and building it up, iteratively producing data further removed from a base case.

  6. De Casteljau's algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Casteljau's_algorithm

    In the mathematical field of numerical analysis, De Casteljau's algorithm is a recursive method to evaluate polynomials in Bernstein form or Bézier curves, named after its inventor Paul de Casteljau.

  7. Mutual recursion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutual_recursion

    In mathematics and computer science, mutual recursion is a form of recursion where two mathematical or computational objects, such as functions or datatypes, are defined in terms of each other. [1] Mutual recursion is very common in functional programming and in some problem domains, such as recursive descent parsers, where the datatypes are ...

  8. 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.

  9. Lehmer random number generator - Wikipedia

    Thus the first reduction step produces a value at most m + a − 1 ≤ 2m − 2 = 2 e+1 − 4. This is an ( e + 1)-bit number, which can be greater than m (i.e. might have bit e set), but the high half is at most 1, and if it is, the low e bits will be strictly less than m .
