Industry:Computer science
The worst case of the ratio between the cost incurred by an on-line algorithm and the best-case cost.
Industry:Computer science
This describes a "long hand" or manual method of calculating or extracting cube roots. Calculation of a cube root by hand is similar to long-hand division or manual square root.
Industry:Computer science
This describes a "long hand" or manual method of calculating or extracting square roots. Calculation of a square root by hand is a little like long-hand division.
Industry:Computer science
To alter a problem, typically restricting it to a less complex feasible region or objective function, so that the resulting problem can be efficiently solved, usually by dynamic programming.
Industry:Computer science
To arrange items when some pairs of items have no comparison, that is, according to a partial order.
Industry:Computer science
To combine multiple sorted data streams into a single sorted stream using external storage.
Industry:Computer science
To differentiate parts of a structure, such as a graph, which locally look the same to all vertices. Usually implemented with randomization.
Industry:Computer science
To interpret a solution to a poisson model in the original model after poissonization.
