Floating-point arithmetic can be expensive if you're using an integer-only processor. But floating-point values can be manipulated as integers, asa less expensive alternative. One advantage of using a ...

I recently received an email announcement from Texas Instruments that linked to an archived discussion of floating-point and fixed-point math with John Thorn of Texas Instruments, David Anderson of ...

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, ...

This is source code for test files shown in Joe Lemieux's article “Fixed-Point Math in C” (Embedded Systems Programming, April 2001) in which he demonstrates how floating-point values can be ...

In this paper we prove a theorem which ensures the existence of a unique fixed point and is applicable to contractive type mappings as well as mappings which do not satisfy any contractive type ...

Abstract.In this paper, we state a new form of fixed point theorems on metric spaces and 2-metric spaces which unifies and generalizes many results in the literature. Examples are given to illustrate ...

Small OLED displays are inexpensive these days–cheap enough that pairing them with an 8-bit micro is economically feasible. But what can you do with a tiny display and not-entirely-powerful processor?
