Analysis. The Division Algorithm states that for any two integers x and y, where j/ > 0, there exist unique integers q and r such that x = q-y+r, where 0 < r < j/— 1. Write an essay that explains why the quotient q and the remainder r are unique. This can be done by taking two specific values for x and y. say x = 157 and y = 25, and showing why the quotient and the remainder obtained when 157 is divided by 25 are unique. 

To answer the day-of-the-week question posed above, the number 7 was used to represent the unit 1. This was done because 7 or seven days represent one week. By the Division Algorithm, 8 = 1 7 +1. In other words, since the number 8 is one more than the number 7, eight days from now will be Saturday (one day after Friday). Mathematically this is the case because 8 has the remainder of 1 when divided by 7.

Most s)mthesis software will not generate divider drcuits, unless it is a divide by a power of 2. For more general division, explidt drcuitry may need to be created. The simplest division algorithm is to calculate A/B by repeatedly subtracting B from A imtil the result is zero or negative. The number of subtractions is then the answer. For example 7/3 7-3 = 4 -> 4-3 = 1 -> 1-3-2. In this case die answer is 2 (the number of subtractions less 1). Develop such a VHDL circuit. Try alternative methods of division, which can be found in most computer arithmetic text books. 

If the nonlinear equation being solved is of the polynomial form, each real root (located by one of the methods already discussed) can be removed from the polynomial by synthetic division, thus reducing the degree of the polynomial to (n - 1). Each successive application of the synthetic division algorithm will reduce the degree of the polynomial further, until all real roots have been located. 

In order to determine whether the system is stable or unstable, the two polynomials are combined, as shown in the Method of Solution, using as the multiplier of the polynomial from the numerator of the transfer function. Function NRsdivision (which uses the Newton-Raphson method with synthetic division algorithm) or function roots (which uses the eigenvalue algorithm) is called to calculate the roots of the overall polynomial function and the sign of all roots is checked for positive real parts. A flag named stbl indicates that the system is stable (all negative roots stbl = 1) or unstable (positive root stbl = 0). 

In the computer algorithm, division by the diagonal element, multiplication, and subtraction are usually canied out at the same time on each target element in the coefficient matrix, leading to some term like ajk — Next, the same three... 

Moreover, behaviors frequently arise that appear to involve some form of intelligent division of red and blue forces to deal with local firestorms and skirmishes, particularly those forces whose personalities have been evolved (via a genetic algorithm sec below) to perform a specific mission, It is important to point out that such behaviors are not hard-wired but rather an emergent property of a decentralized and nonlinear local dynamics, A small sampling of behaviors is shown below. 

Statistical and algebraic methods, too, can be classed as either rugged or not they are rugged when algorithms are chosen that on repetition of the experiment do not get derailed by the random analytical error inherent in every measurement,i° 433 is, when similar coefficients are found for the mathematical model, and equivalent conclusions are drawn. Obviously, the choice of the fitted model plays a pivotal role. If a model is to be fitted by means of an iterative algorithm, the initial guess for the coefficients should not be too critical. In a simple calculation a combination of numbers and truncation errors might lead to a division by zero and crash the computer. If the data evaluation scheme is such that errors of this type could occur, the validation plan must make provisions to test this aspect. 

We always try in a division into major blocks to make the individual subblocks as large as possible, and the number of subblocks as small as possible, consistent with conditions (1) - (5). Our algorithm will also make our subblocks as large as possible. 

Divide medium (0,1) into N equally spaced divisions (Figure 3-14). Let, = / A, with 0 = 0 and jv= 1 being the two boundaries. Let xy= Ax with equally spaced time interval. (In more advanced programming, one may also divide the time and space into unequal parts.) Three algorithms are discussed below. Other algorithms may be numerically unstable.

Analysis. We can divide analysis algorithms into time and frequency domain processes. Certainly, the division between these categories is arbitrary since we can mix them together to solve an audio problem. However, it suffices for our purposes.
