1.
what is an algorithm?
- a finite sequence of operations for carrying out a procedure/solving problems
what is a heuristic algorithm?
a method which finds the solution efficenlty , with no gurantee that it is optimal solution
eg: packing algorithms, integer LP
what is optimisation?
optimal= “best”
optimisation= making it best
* finding the best availible values
when is a LP in standard form?
- Objective function to be maximised
- with constraints <=
- non negative variables
what is augmented/ slack form?
non-negative slack variables convert ineualities to equalities
what are basic variables?
variables which have been cleared out and only have one non zero column in it
hold and actual value
what are non-basic variables?
variables which have multiple values in thier column and so are given a 0 value
when would a LP require integer solutions?
when the variable is discrete
* should be mentioned in working out
What does this sigma notation mean?
Sigma notation
Sigma notation
Sigma notation
Express the sum using Sigma notation
The standard formula for the sum to n terms of r
Find the sum
The standard formula for the sum to n terms of r squared
Find a general expression for
Method of differences
What are the general steps for proof by induction?
Proof by induction factorial
Proof by induction product
What is the order of the following matrices ?
Number of rows by numbers of columns
y by x
What does it mean for matrices to be “non conformable”?
This means that they matrices do not have the exact same order. For example
What does associative mean?
It means that despite the order/ grouping of numbers, the answers will be the same.
What does it mean for something to be commutative ?
What are the general steps to carrying out matrices multiplication?
- write out the order of both matrices
- see if compatible, if they are write order of answer matrix
- start with first element (1x1) first row by first colum
- multiply each pair of numbers and add up the answers
- then go onto next element (1x2) first row by second column
- multiply each pair and add up numbers
Multiply
Multiply (find FE)
Is matrix muliplication commutative or associative?
-
not commutative
as order within which multiplied does matter - is associative
what is the original point/shape and the transformed point/shape reffered to ?
- orginal= object
- transformed= image
