  2. 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.

  3. The Power of 10: Rules for Developing Safety-Critical Code

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Power_of_10:_Rules_for...

    The ten rules are: [1] Avoid complex flow constructs, such as goto and recursion. All loops must have fixed bounds. This prevents runaway code. Avoid heap memory allocation after initialization. Restrict functions to a single printed page. Use a minimum of two runtime assertions per function. Restrict the scope of data to the smallest possible.

  4. Least common multiple - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Least_common_multiple

    For example, 10 is a multiple of 5 because 5 × 2 = 10, so 10 is divisible by 5 and 2. Because 10 is the smallest positive integer that is divisible by both 5 and 2, it is the least common multiple of 5 and 2. By the same principle, 10 is the least common multiple of −5 and −2 as well.

  5. Euclidean algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclidean_algorithm

    s −2 = 1, t −2 = 0 s −1 = 0, t −1 = 1. Using this recursion, Bézout's integers s and t are given by s = s N and t = t N, where N + 1 is the step on which the algorithm terminates with r N+1 = 0. The validity of this approach can be shown by induction. Assume that the recursion formula is correct up to step k − 1 of the algorithm; in ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_numerical_libraries

    ALGLIB is an open source / commercial numerical analysis library with C++ version; Armadillo is a C++ linear algebra library (matrix and vector maths), aiming towards a good balance between speed and ease of use. [1] It employs template classes, and has optional links to BLAS and LAPACK. The syntax is similar to MATLAB.

  7. Change-making problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Change-making_problem

    Another example is attempting to make 40 US cents without nickels (denomination 25, 10, 1) with similar result — the greedy chooses seven coins (25, 10, and 5 × 1), but the optimal is four (4 × 10). A coin system is called "canonical" if the greedy algorithm always solves its change-making problem optimally.

  8. Longest common subsequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longest_common_subsequence

    Comparison of two revisions of an example file, based on their longest common subsequence (black) A longest common subsequence (LCS) is the longest subsequence common to all sequences in a set of sequences (often just two sequences).

  9. 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 ...
