  2. Nondeterministic finite automaton - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nondeterministic_finite...

    It is PSPACE-complete to test, given an NFA, whether it is universal, i.e., if there is a string that it does not accept. [17] As a consequence, the same is true of the inclusion problem , i.e., given two NFAs, is the language of one a subset of the language of the other.

  3. Acceptance sampling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acceptance_sampling

    For example, multiple sampling plans use more than two samples to reach a conclusion. A shorter examination period and smaller sample sizes are features of this type of plan. Although the samples are taken at random, the sampling procedure is still reliable. [3]

  4. Rejection sampling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rejection_sampling

    In numerical analysis and computational statistics, rejection sampling is a basic technique used to generate observations from a distribution.It is also commonly called the acceptance-rejection method or "accept-reject algorithm" and is a type of exact simulation method.

  5. Unconditional surrender - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unconditional_surrender

    Grant's reply was that "no terms except an unconditional and immediate surrender can be accepted. I propose to move immediately upon your works." When news of Grant's victory, one of the Union's first in the war, was received in Washington, DC , newspapers remarked (and President Abraham Lincoln endorsed) that Grant's first two initials, "U.S ...

    A statutory corporation (whether constituted by a special statute as, for instance, a railway company is, or constituted under the Companies Acts as in the case of an ordinary company) is entirely a creature of statute and has no powers except those conferred upon it by or under statute, but a Minister of the Crown, even though there may have ...

  7. Deterministic finite automaton - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deterministic_finite_automaton

    An example of a deterministic finite automaton that accepts only binary numbers that are multiples of 3. The state S 0 is both the start state and an accept state. For example, the string "1001" leads to the state sequence S 0, S 1, S 2, S 1, S 0, and is hence accepted.

  8. Exception handling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exception_handling

    The definition of an exception is based on the observation that each procedure has a precondition, a set of circumstances for which it will terminate "normally". [1] An exception handling mechanism allows the procedure to raise an exception [ 2 ] if this precondition is violated, [ 1 ] for example if the procedure has been called on an abnormal ...

  9. Robustness principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robustness_principle

    In computing, the robustness principle is a design guideline for software that states: "be conservative in what you do, be liberal in what you accept from others". It is often reworded as: "be conservative in what you send, be liberal in what you accept".
