  2. Interchange of limiting operations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interchange_of_limiting...

    Examples abound, one of the simplest being that for a double sequence a m,n: it is not necessarily the case that the operations of taking the limits as m → ∞ and as n → ∞ can be freely interchanged. [4] For example take a m,n = 2 m − n. in which taking the limit first with respect to n gives 0, and with respect to m gives ∞.

  3. Limits of computation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limits_of_computation

    The Bekenstein bound limits the amount of information that can be stored within a spherical volume to the entropy of a black hole with the same surface area. Thermodynamics limit the data storage of a system based on its energy, number of particles and particle modes. In practice, it is a stronger bound than the Bekenstein bound. [1]

  4. Landauer's principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landauer's_principle

    Landauer's principle is a physical principle pertaining to a lower theoretical limit of energy consumption of computation.It holds that an irreversible change in information stored in a computer, such as merging two computational paths, dissipates a minimum amount of heat to its surroundings. [1]

  5. Integer overflow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integer_overflow

    Integer overflow can be demonstrated through an odometer overflowing, a mechanical version of the phenomenon. All digits are set to the maximum 9 and the next increment of the white digit causes a cascade of carry-over additions setting all digits to 0, but there is no higher digit (1,000,000s digit) to change to a 1, so the counter resets to zero.

  6. Limit of a function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limit_of_a_function

    The function = {< has a limit at every non-zero x-coordinate (the limit equals 1 for negative x and equals 2 for positive x). The limit at x = 0 does not exist (the left-hand limit equals 1, whereas the right-hand limit equals 2).

  7. Iterated limit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iterated_limit

    In multivariable calculus, an iterated limit is a limit of a sequence or a limit of a function in the form , = (,), (,) = ((,)),or other similar forms. An iterated limit is only defined for an expression whose value depends on at least two variables. To evaluate such a limit, one takes the limiting process as one of the two variables approaches some number, getting an expression whose value ...

  8. Division by zero - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Division_by_zero

    the separate limits of the numerator and denominator are , so we have the indeterminate form , but simplifying the quotient first shows that the limit exists: lim x → 1 x 2 − 1 x − 1 = lim x → 1 ( x − 1 ) ( x + 1 ) x − 1 = lim x → 1 ( x + 1 ) = 2. {\displaystyle \lim _{x\to 1}{\frac {x^{2}-1}{x-1}}=\lim _{x\to 1}{\frac {(x-1)(x+1 ...

  9. Computation in the limit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computation_in_the_limit

    The limit lemma states that a set of natural numbers is limit computable if and only if the set is computable from ′ (the Turing jump of the empty set). The relativized limit lemma states that a set is limit computable in if and only if it is computable from ′. Moreover, the limit lemma (and its relativization) hold uniformly.
