  2. Padovan sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Padovan_sequence

    In number theory, the Padovan sequence is the sequence of integers P ( n) defined [1] by the initial values. and the recurrence relation. The first few values of P ( n) are. A Padovan prime is a Padovan number that is prime. The first Padovan primes are: 2, 3, 5, 7, 37, 151, 3329, 23833, 13091204281, 3093215881333057 ...

  3. Ulam spiral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ulam_spiral

    Ulam spiral of size 201×201. Black dots represent prime numbers. Diagonal, vertical, and horizontal lines with a high density of prime numbers are clearly visible. For comparison, a spiral with random odd numbers colored black (at the same density of primes in a 200x200 spiral). The Ulam spiral or prime spiral is a graphical depiction of the ...

  4. Polar coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polar_coordinate_system

    In blue, the point (4, 210°). In mathematics, the polar coordinate system is a two-dimensional coordinate system in which each point on a plane is determined by a distance from a reference point and an angle from a reference direction. The reference point (analogous to the origin of a Cartesian coordinate system) is called the pole, and the ...

  5. Archimedean spiral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archimedean_spiral

    Archimedean spiral. Three 360° loops of one arm of an Archimedean spiral. The Archimedean spiral (also known as Archimedes' spiral, the arithmetic spiral) is a spiral named after the 3rd-century BC Greek mathematician Archimedes. The term Archimedean spiral is sometimes used to refer to the more general class of spirals of this type (see below ...

  6. Fibonacci sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibonacci_sequence

    In mathematics, the Fibonacci sequence is a sequence in which each number is the sum of the two preceding ones. Numbers that are part of the Fibonacci sequence are known as Fibonacci numbers, commonly denoted F n .

  7. Transposition cipher - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transposition_cipher

    Step-by-step process for the double columnar transposition cipher. In cryptography, a transposition cipher (also known as a permutation cipher) is a method of encryption which scrambles the positions of characters ( transposition) without changing the characters themselves. Transposition ciphers reorder units of plaintext (typically characters ...

  8. Lucas number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucas_number

    Lucas number. The Lucas spiral, made with quarter- arcs, is a good approximation of the golden spiral when its terms are large. However, when its terms become very small, the arc's radius decreases rapidly from 3 to 1 then increases from 1 to 2. The Lucas sequence is an integer sequence named after the mathematician François Édouard Anatole ...

  9. Spiral optimization algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spiral_optimization_algorithm

    The spiral shares the global (blue) and intensive (red) behavior. In mathematics, the spiral optimization (SPO) algorithm is a metaheuristic inspired by spiral phenomena in nature. The first SPO algorithm was proposed for two-dimensional unconstrained optimization [ 1] based on two-dimensional spiral models. This was extended to n-dimensional ...
