  2. Recursion (computer science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recursion_(computer_science)

    Recursive drawing of a SierpiƄski Triangle through turtle graphics. In computer science, recursion is a method of solving a computational problem where the solution depends on solutions to smaller instances of the same problem. [1] [2] Recursion solves such recursive problems by using functions that call themselves from within their own code ...

  3. Ant colony optimization algorithms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ant_colony_optimization...

    The original idea has since diversified to solve a wider class of numerical problems, and as a result, several problems have emerged, drawing on various aspects of the behavior of ants. From a broader perspective, ACO performs a model-based search [ 8 ] and shares some similarities with estimation of distribution algorithms .

  4. Anderson acceleration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anderson_acceleration

    In mathematics, Anderson acceleration, also called Anderson mixing, is a method for the acceleration of the convergence rate of fixed-point iterations. Introduced by Donald G. Anderson, [ 1 ] this technique can be used to find the solution to fixed point equations f ( x ) = x {\displaystyle f(x)=x} often arising in the field of computational ...

  5. HiGHS optimization solver - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HiGHS_optimization_solver

    HiGHS has an interior point method implementation for solving LP problems, based on techniques described by Schork and Gondzio (2020). [10] It is notable for solving the Newton system iteratively by a preconditioned conjugate gradient method, rather than directly, via an LDL* decomposition. The interior point solver's performance relative to ...

  6. Relaxation (iterative method) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relaxation_(iterative_method)

    Relaxation methods are used to solve the linear equations resulting from a discretization of the differential equation, for example by finite differences. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] [ 4 ] Iterative relaxation of solutions is commonly dubbed smoothing because with certain equations, such as Laplace's equation , it resembles repeated application of a local ...

  7. Maze-solving algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maze-solving_algorithm

    Robot in a wooden maze. A maze-solving algorithm is an automated method for solving a maze.The random mouse, wall follower, Pledge, and Trémaux's algorithms are designed to be used inside the maze by a traveler with no prior knowledge of the maze, whereas the dead-end filling and shortest path algorithms are designed to be used by a person or computer program that can see the whole maze at once.

  8. Cycle detection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cycle_detection

    The cycle detection problem is the task of finding λ and μ. [ 1 ] One can view the same problem graph-theoretically , by constructing a functional graph (that is, a directed graph in which each vertex has a single outgoing edge) the vertices of which are the elements of S and the edges of which map an element to the corresponding function ...

  9. Mixing (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mixing_(mathematics)

    The baker's map is mixing, shown by the red and blue points being completely mixed after several iterations. In mathematics, mixing is an abstract concept originating from physics: the attempt to describe the irreversible thermodynamic process of mixing in the everyday world: e.g. mixing paint, mixing drinks, industrial mixing.
