Community driven content discussing all aspects of software development from DevOps to design patterns. The factorial of 5 is 120. The factorial of 10 is 3,628,800. Programmers can take one of two ...

Arithmetic dynamics investigates the behaviour of iterated functions—often polynomials or rational maps—over number fields and function fields, while Galois theory provides the framework to analyse ...

The following problem is studied: The theory of iteration developed by Fatou and Julia is concerned with rational and entire functions. What is the most general class of analytic functions to which ...

This article studies the accuracy of two versions of Kydland and Prescott's (1980, 1982) procedure for approximating optimal decision rules in problems in which the objective fails to be quadratic and ...

This program will draw fractals with an Iterated Function System or by the Chaos Game. Either method requires that the transformations defining the IFS be given. An IFS is composed of a number of ...

See the commentary for W 2000 and W 2001 and W 2002 for a description of how to draw fractals with an IFS. Compare these images with the ones made using the Chaos ...
