  2. Shellsort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shellsort

    The next pass, 3-sorting, performs insertion sort on the three subarrays (a 1, a 4, a 7, a 10), (a 2, a 5, a 8, a 11), (a 3, a 6, a 9, a 12). The last pass, 1-sorting, is an ordinary insertion sort of the entire array (a 1,..., a 12). As the example illustrates, the subarrays that Shellsort operates on are initially short; later they are longer ...

  3. Conversion (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conversion_(chemistry)

    Conversion and its related terms yield and selectivity are important terms in chemical reaction engineering.They are described as ratios of how much of a reactant has reacted (X — conversion, normally between zero and one), how much of a desired product was formed (Y — yield, normally also between zero and one) and how much desired product was formed in ratio to the undesired product(s) (S ...

  4. Sponge function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sponge_function

    The sponge construction for hash functions. P i are blocks of the input string, Z i are hashed output blocks. In cryptography, a sponge function or sponge construction is any of a class of algorithms with finite internal state that take an input bit stream of any length and produce an output bit stream of any desired length. Sponge functions ...

  5. Rolling hash - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolling_hash

    A rolling hash (also known as recursive hashing or rolling checksum) is a hash function where the input is hashed in a window that moves through the input.. A few hash functions allow a rolling hash to be computed very quickly—the new hash value is rapidly calculated given only the old hash value, the old value removed from the window, and the new value added to the window—similar to the ...

  6. Kendall tau distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kendall_tau_distance

    The Kendall tau distance between two rankings is the number of pairs that are in different order in the two rankings. For example, the Kendall tau distance between 0 3 1 6 2 5 4 and 1 0 3 6 4 2 5 is four because the pairs 0-1, 3-1, 2-4, 5-4 are in different order in the two rankings, but all other pairs are in the same order.

  8. Fletcher's checksum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fletcher's_checksum

    Usually, the second sum will be multiplied by 2 32 and added to the simple checksum, effectively stacking the sums side-by-side in a 64-bit word with the simple checksum at the least significant end. This algorithm is then called the Fletcher-64 checksum. The use of the modulus 2 32 − 1 = 4,294,967,295 is also generally implied. The rationale ...

    Then, to accumulate using Nyberg's scheme, use the quasi-commutative hash function (,):= (()), where is the bitwise and operation and : {,} {,} is the function that interprets its input as a sequence of -bit bitstrings of length , replaces every all-zero bitstring with a single 0 and every other bitstring with a 1, and outputs the result.
