Floating-point arithmetic can be expensive if you're using an integer-only processor. But floating-point values can be manipulated as integers, asa less expensive alternative. One advantage of using a ...

I recently received an email announcement from Texas Instruments that linked to an archived discussion of floating-point and fixed-point math with John Thorn of Texas Instruments, David Anderson of ...

If you are used to writing software for modern machines, you probably don’t think much about computing something like one divided by three. Modern computers handle floating point quite well. However, ...

Mathematics of Operations Research, Vol. 7, No. 1 (Feb., 1982), pp. 1-13 (13 pages) In this paper an algorithm based on the principle of simplicial approximation is introduced to compute fixed points ...

Let K be a compact convex subset of a real Hilbert space, H; T: K → K a continuous pseudocontractive map. Let {an}, {bn}, {cn}, {an ′}, {bn ′} and {cn ′} be real sequences in [0,1] satisfying ...

Recently Colin Walls had an article on this site about floating point math. Once it was common for embedded engineers to scoff at floats; many have told me they have no place in this space. That’s ...
