I need to emulate the window placement strategy of the Fluxbox window manager. As a rough guide, visualize randomly sized windows filling up the screen one at a time, where the rough size of each results in an average of 80 windows on screen without any window overlapping another. If you have Fluxbox and Xterm installed on your system,...
I need an algorithm to perform a 2D bisection method for solving a 2x2 non-linear problem. Example: two equations f(x,y)=0 and g(x,y)=0 which I want to solve somultaneously. I have very familiar with the 1D bisection ( as well as other numerical methods ). Assume I already know the solution lies between the bounds x1 < x < x2 and y1 < y ...
Why in the bisection method it is better to compute the midpoint c between a and b with c = a + (b - a) / 2. instead of the simpler: c = (a + b) / 2. all variables are floating points. ...
