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 ...

[Editor's note: For an intro to floating-point math, see Tutorial: Floating-point arithmetic on FPGAs. For a comparison of fixed- and floating-point hardware, see Fixed vs. floating point: a ...

Carpathian Journal of Mathematics, Vol. 31, No. 3 (2015), pp. 365-371 (7 pages) Based on the concepts and problems introduced in [Rus, I. A., The theory of a metrical fixed point theorem: theoretical ...

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 ...

Why is my floating point math so inaccurate? If you lurk on embedded C forums for much time at all you will run into a question like this: “Why is my floating point math so inaccurate? I do a few ...

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, ...
