  2. Bridge and torch problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bridge_and_torch_problem

    Assume that a solution minimizes the total number of crossings. This gives a total of five crossings - three pair crossings and two solo-crossings. Also, assume we always choose the fastest for the solo-cross. First, we show that if the two slowest persons (C and D) cross separately, they accumulate a total crossing time of 15.

  3. Coin problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coin_problem

    For example, if you had two types of coins valued at 6 cents and 14 cents, the GCD would equal 2, and there would be no way to combine any number of such coins to produce a sum which was an odd number; additionally, even numbers 2, 4, 8, 10, 16 and 22 (less than m=24) could not be formed, either.

  4. Partition problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partition_problem

    In number theory and computer science, the partition problem, or number partitioning, [1] is the task of deciding whether a given multiset S of positive integers can be partitioned into two subsets S 1 and S 2 such that the sum of the numbers in S 1 equals the sum of the numbers in S 2.

  5. Integer factorization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integer_factorization

    Every positive integer greater than 1 is either the product of two or more integer factors greater than 1, in which case it is a composite number, or it is not, in which case it is a prime number. For example, 15 is a composite number because 15 = 3 · 5 , but 7 is a prime number because it cannot be decomposed in this way.

  6. Extraneous and missing solutions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extraneous_and_missing...

    A missing solution is a valid one which is lost during the solution process. Both situations frequently result from performing operations that are not invertible for some or all values of the variables involved, which prevents the chain of logical implications from being bidirectional.

  7. Maximum subarray problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_subarray_problem

    Maximum subarray problems arise in many fields, such as genomic sequence analysis and computer vision.. Genomic sequence analysis employs maximum subarray algorithms to identify important biological segments of protein sequences that have unusual properties, by assigning scores to points within the sequence that are positive when a motif to be recognized is present, and negative when it is not ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eight_queens_puzzle

    There is no known formula for the exact number of solutions for placing n queens on an n × n board i.e. the number of independent sets of size n in an n × n queen's graph. The 27×27 board is the highest-order board that has been completely enumerated. [ 5 ]
