Talk:Conjugate gradient method

message: The explanation skips a large important part of the correctness proof, which shows that the mentioned "Gram-Schmidt orthonormalization" only needs to consider the latest direction p_k and need not be performed relative to all previous directions p_j where j < k. This can be deduced from the fact that the r_k and p_k span the same Krylov subspace, but it should be highlighted how this implies that p_j r_k = 0 for j <= k and p_j A r_k = 0 for j < k.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.128.186.9 (talk) 16:04, 13 December 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Discussion of correct of the algorithm 

message: In the subsection, I can see that riT rj = 0. The following is quoted from the same. However, in the algorithm, in the calculation for the value of {\beta}, the rkT rk comes up in the denominator, which does not look right. In my openion, the denominator should be rkT rk+1. However, I could be incorrect, and hence, I would like to bring this to the notice of the experts.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zenineasa (talk • contribs) 13:25, 26 November 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Conflicting information under "The resulting algorithm" subsection 

message: I can't wrap my head around the fact that it's optimizing 
: f(\mathbf{x}) = \tfrac12 \mathbf{x}^\mathsf{T} \mathbf{A}\mathbf{x} - \mathbf{x}^\mathsf{T} \mathbf{b}, \qquad \mathbf{x}\in\mathbf{R}^n \,.
Abstractly, I think (?) the idea is that we choose f(x) such that 
:
  \nabla f(\mathbf{x}) = \mathbf{A} \mathbf{x} - \mathbf{b} \,
and so the residual vector is the gradient of the surface. But coming at it from the perspective of "let's minimize the residual", my line of thinking is let
: g(\mathbf{x}) := \|\mathbf{A} \mathbf{x} - \mathbf{b}\|_2^2 = (\mathbf{Ax - b})^\top (\mathbf{Ax - b}) = \mathbf{x^\top A^\top A x} - 2 \mathbf{b^\top Ax + b^\top b}
which we could drop the constant \mathbf{b^\top b} from. That's similar but decidedly different from f(\mathbf{x}). What gives? Is f(\mathbf{x}) minimizing the residual? Can the norm of the residual be massaged to look like f(\mathbf{x})? —Ben FrantzDale (talk) 21:30, 18 January 2023 (UTC)

message: And why was the link to the Black and White Cookie blog deleted?  How more relevant to this article can something be?
---
Who decided to name this article "black and white cookie" instead of "half moon"?  Most english speakers call it "half moon" cookie.
The reference to the cookie being mainly frosted either black or white in Germany is actually not true. At least in Southern Germany the cookie is mostly frosted black and white.194.94.134.99 08:41, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  I would lend my voice to support in keeping the name of the article as "black and white cookie", not just being as being a New Yorker and therefore that's the only name i've ever heard it called, but because of the fact that many people from outside of New York only know of the existence of the cookie because of the Seinfield episode mentioned in the article, whether one likes it or not it is seen as mostly a NY phenomenon and therefore the name we use in NY should be the name of the article, regardless of what the rest of the English speaking world uses.  The German name references the fact that its an American invention, and the cookie supposedly was invented in Utica, NY where it is called the black and white, and only sometimes the halfmoon.148.78.243.26 18:44, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

message: The most obvious questions about this unique building are not even addressed in this article.
* Was it built originally to be all above ground? OR
* Was it built knowing that the lake was going to rise (perhaps due to construction of a dam)? OR
* Was the lake's rise a surprise to the people who originally built and occupied the building?
* Was it originally occupied on all floors?  Indeed, has it ever been occupied?
* Are the underwater floors sealed from the lake's waters, or are they flooded?
Seriously, this article appears to have been written with the assumption that the reader already knows the answers to all of these questions (the first questions that come to my mind, and I'm sure many of them to the mind of most readers), which of course makes this the exact opposite of what a Wikipedia article should be.

Talk:Spiral divergence

message: This article tries to state qualitatively how aircraft geometry influences the spiral mode, and is probably accessible to a wide readership. It could be used as an introduction to the quantitative analysis of the Flight dynamics article.  It gives a good explanation of why an excessively stable Dutch Roll mode leads to an unstable spiral mode.
The objective of two articles appears to be the same - to relate the aircraft geometry to its behaviour, so they should be merged. 
The explanation of pitch plane stability is probably fairly straightforward.  This article suggests an approach which starts by treating the yaw plane directional stability in a similar manner to pitch, making the point that a consequence of concentrating on weathercock motion in yaw is this unstable spiral - that would give a more logical introduction to the need for dihedral, and its effect on directional stability.

thread_title: Merge into proposal - [[Fireblade]] into this article

message: Honda, and other Japanese motorcycle manufacturers have a 2/4 year development cycle on sports bikes. Every 4 years sees a major redesign with a 'facelift' after 2 years. For example, the RRY&RR1 (2000/2001) 929 was a major redesign, while the RR2/3 (2002/2003) 954 was not much more than a bored out 929 with different bodywork. 
On the subject of model years and their designation, the final letter of the full model name, e.g CBR929RRY denotes the year of manufacture and is used across the manufacturers range. As such it is not specific to the Fireblade and warrants being the subject of a seperate article with a cross reference from here.
--HeresJohny 14:48, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Model Years and Development Cycles

message: This model is not known as the FireBlade in all markets.  In markets where it is sold as the FireBlade, its name changed with the release of the 2004 (RR4) model to the Fireblade (note the lowercase b) and is widely expected to be dropped entirely at some point.  Note that Honda actually still called this the CBR900RR FireBlade even though it was 918, 929, 954 etc.... (check out the workshop manuals) It was designated CBR929RR, CBR954RR etc (no mention of FireBlade) in the US and Canada (and in Oz too?) and that is how they are becoming more commonly known in the global biking fraternity as it clearly differentiates between the  engine capacities 
As the model 'name' is not universal, it might have made sense for this article to be merged into that for the main article about this bike. The trouble is by what name should this range of bikes be universally known?
A suggestion: 1) seperate articles using the more globally accepted model designations; 2) an atrticle discussing generic model year designations; and 3) this article that explains the FireBlade/Fireblade change and EU naming convention with cross references to 1)

message: tpl, why do you prefer to use a truncated FIR approach to smoothing filters, rather than windowed or a recursive filter?  It seems to me that the truncation will always destroy the key property of no introduction of spurious maxima, where the convolution passes the small step edge across a localized signal feature in a non-cascaded application.
