computation(al) error
1Computation of CRC — Computation of a cyclic redundancy check is derived from the mathematics of polynomial division, modulo two. In practice, it resembles long division of the binary message string, with a fixed number of zeroes appended, by the generator polynomial …
2error — [er′ər] n. [ME & OFr errour < L error < errare: see ERR] 1. the state of believing what is untrue, incorrect, or wrong 2. a wrong belief; incorrect opinion 3. something incorrectly done through ignorance or carelessness; mistake 4. a… …
3error — I (New American Roget s College Thesaurus) Deviation from truth Nouns 1. error, fallacy; falsity (see falsehood), untruth; misconception, misapprehension, misunderstanding; inexactness, inaccuracy; anachronism; misconstruction, misinterpretation …
4Computation of radiowave attenuation in the atmosphere — One of the causes of attenuation of radio propagation is the absorption by the atmosphere. There are many well known facts on the phenomenon and qualitative treatments in textbooks.[1] A document published by the International Telecommunication… …
5Secure multi-party computation — (also known as secure computation or multi party computation (MPC)) is a sub field of cryptography. The goal of methods for secure multi party computation is to enable parties to jointly compute a function over their inputs, while at the same… …
6Quantum error correction — is used in quantum computing to protect quantum information from errors due to decoherence and other quantum noise. Quantum error correction is essential if one is to achieve fault tolerant quantum computation that can deal not only with noise on …
7Truncation error — or discretization error is error made by numerical algorithms that arises from taking finite number of steps in computation. It is present even with infinite precision arithmetic, because it is caused by truncation of the infinite Taylor series… …
8Continuous quantum computation — Two major motivations for studying continuous quantum computation are: Many scientific problems have continuous mathematical formulations. Examples of such formulations are Path integration Feynman Kac path integration Schrödinger equation In… …
9Chronology of computation of π — The table below is a brief chronology of computed numerical values of, or bounds on, the mathematical constant pi (π). See the history of numerical approximations of pi for explanations, comments and details concerning some of the calculations… …
10Soft error — In electronics and computing, an error is a signal or datum which is wrong. Errors may be caused by a defect, usually understood either to be a mistake in design or construction, or a broken component. A soft error is also a signal or datum which …
