  2. Convex hull algorithms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convex_hull_algorithms

    These four points form a convex quadrilateral, and all points that lie in this quadrilateral (except for the four initially chosen vertices) are not part of the convex hull. Finding all of these points that lie in this quadrilateral is also O(n), and thus, the entire operation is O(n). Optionally, the points with smallest and largest sums of x ...

  3. Annulus (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annulus_(mathematics)

    If =, the region is known as the punctured disk (a disk with a point hole in the center) of radius R around the point a. As a subset of the complex plane, an annulus can be considered as a Riemann surface. The complex structure of an annulus depends only on the ratio ⁠ r / R ⁠.

  4. Convex hull - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convex_hull

    The point set itself forms one endpoint of this family of shapes, and its convex hull forms the other endpoint. [41] The convex layers of a point set are a nested family of convex polygons, the outermost of which is the convex hull, with the inner layers constructed recursively from the points that are not vertices of the convex hull. [47]

  5. Pigeonhole principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pigeonhole_principle

    Pigeon-hole messageboxes at Stanford University. Dirichlet published his works in both French and German, using either the German Schubfach or the French tiroir.The strict original meaning of these terms corresponds to the English drawer, that is, an open-topped box that can be slid in and out of the cabinet that contains it.

  6. Classification of discontinuities - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classification_of...

    The function in example 1, a removable discontinuity. Consider the piecewise function = {< = >. The point = is a removable discontinuity.For this kind of discontinuity: The one-sided limit from the negative direction: = and the one-sided limit from the positive direction: + = + at both exist, are finite, and are equal to = = +.

  7. Critical point (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_point_(mathematics)

    The value of the function at a critical point is a critical value. [1] More specifically, when dealing with functions of a real variable, a critical point, also known as a stationary point, is a point in the domain of the function where the function derivative is equal to zero (or where the function is not differentiable). [2]

  8. Simpson's rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simpson's_rule

    In the task of estimation of full area of narrow peak-like functions, Simpson's rules are much less efficient than trapezoidal rule. Namely, composite Simpson's 1/3 rule requires 1.8 times more points to achieve the same accuracy as trapezoidal rule. [8] Composite Simpson's 3/8 rule is even less accurate.

  9. Genus (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genus_(mathematics)

    In layman's terms, the genus is the number of "holes" an object has ("holes" interpreted in the sense of doughnut holes; a hollow sphere would be considered as having zero holes in this sense). [3] A torus has 1 such hole, while a sphere has 0. The green surface pictured above has 2 holes of the relevant sort. For instance:
