In this study we analyze students' understanding of two-variable function; in particular we consider their understanding of domain, possible arbitrary nature of function assignment, uniqueness of ...

Functions of two variables can be visualized in many ways: heat maps in 2D, contour curves in 2D, wireframes in 3D, surfaces in 3D. We begin by defining a function of two variables, building an array ...

Annals of Mathematics, Second Series, Vol. 176, No. 3 (November, 2012), pp. 1783-1826 (44 pages) We prove generalizations of Löwner's results on matrix monotone functions to several variables. We give ...

The benchmark tests show that the noise-free realization of QA can significantly outperform state-of-the-art classical algorithms. Quantum annealing (QA) is a cutting-edge algorithm that leverages the ...
