  2. Greedy algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greedy_algorithm

    The matching pursuit is an example of a greedy algorithm applied on signal approximation. A greedy algorithm finds the optimal solution to Malfatti's problem of finding three disjoint circles within a given triangle that maximize the total area of the circles; it is conjectured that the same greedy algorithm is optimal for any number of circles.

  3. Longest-processing-time-first scheduling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longest-processing-time...

    By the previous lemma, at that point the sum of all other greedy bundles was at least 8/3. The algorithm arrives at x afterwards. Once the algorithm adds x to some bin P j, the sum of P j becomes at least 8/3+1/3=3, so no more items are added into P j. So P j contains only one input with size in [1/3,1).

  4. Kruskal's algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kruskal's_algorithm

    Kruskal's algorithm [1] finds a minimum spanning forest of an undirected edge-weighted graph.If the graph is connected, it finds a minimum spanning tree.It is a greedy algorithm that in each step adds to the forest the lowest-weight edge that will not form a cycle. [2]

  5. Farthest-first traversal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farthest-first_traversal

    The farthest-first traversal of a finite point set may be computed by a greedy algorithm that maintains the distance of each point from the previously selected points, performing the following steps: [3] Initialize the sequence of selected points to the empty sequence, and the distances of each point to the selected points to infinity.

  6. Greedy coloring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greedy_coloring

    The right example generalises to 2-colorable graphs with n vertices, where the greedy algorithm expends n/2 colors. In the study of graph coloring problems in mathematics and computer science , a greedy coloring or sequential coloring [ 1 ] is a coloring of the vertices of a graph formed by a greedy algorithm that considers the vertices of the ...

  7. List of algorithms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_algorithms

    An algorithm is fundamentally a set of rules or defined procedures that is typically designed and used to solve a specific problem or a broad set of problems.. Broadly, algorithms define process(es), sets of rules, or methodologies that are to be followed in calculations, data processing, data mining, pattern recognition, automated reasoning or other problem-solving operations.

  8. Best-first search - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Best-first_search

    [3] Efficient selection of the current best candidate for extension is typically implemented using a priority queue. The A* search algorithm is an example of a best-first search algorithm, as is B*. Best-first algorithms are often used for path finding in combinatorial search. Neither A* nor B* is a greedy best-first search, as they incorporate ...

  9. Set cover problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Set_cover_problem

    An example of such an input for = is pictured on the right. Inapproximability results show that the greedy algorithm is essentially the best-possible polynomial time approximation algorithm for set cover up to lower order terms (see Inapproximability results below), under plausible
