  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. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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 ...

  6. Primitive recursive set function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primitive_recursive_set...

    A primitive recursive set function is a function from sets to sets that can be obtained from the following basic functions by repeatedly applying the following rules of substitution and recursion: The basic functions are: Projection: P n,m (x 1, ..., x n) = x m for 0 ≤ m ≤ n; Zero: F(x) = 0

  7. Least common multiple - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Least_common_multiple

    [1] [2] Since division of integers by zero is undefined, this definition has meaning only if a and b are both different from zero. [3] However, some authors define lcm(a, 0) as 0 for all a, since 0 is the only common multiple of a and 0.

  8. 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 ...

  9. Neville's algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neville's_algorithm

    Given n + 1 points, there is a unique polynomial of degree ≤ n which goes through the given points. Neville's algorithm evaluates this polynomial. Neville's algorithm evaluates this polynomial. Neville's algorithm is based on the Newton form of the interpolating polynomial and the recursion relation for the divided differences .
