Let > 0 be a sufficiently small real number (which we will let go to zero later).
The continued fraction expansion gives the best rational approximations of a real number.
The quantity s is a positive real number which has to be closer to the desired eigenvalue than to any of the other eigenvalues.
Let be a positive real number, fixed for the moment.
Next let max be a real number less than /(g).
Here, the real number representation22 was adopted which, from experiments performed, is more efficient than the other representations.
The simulation expresses the state of the macula by means of a real number in the interval (0, 1).
Owing to inadequate records, the real number is almost impossible to define.
