  2. List of terms relating to algorithms and data structures

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_terms_relating_to...

    The NIST Dictionary of Algorithms and Data Structures [1] is a reference work maintained by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology. It defines a large number of terms relating to algorithms and data structures. For algorithms and data structures not necessarily mentioned here, see list of algorithms and list of data structures.

  3. Algorithm characterizations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algorithm_characterizations

    And there are algorithms, of modern and classical varieties, not covered directly by Turing's analysis, for example, algorithms that interact with their environments, algorithms whose inputs are abstract structures, and geometric or, more generally, non-discrete algorithms" (Blass-Gurevich (2003) p. 8, boldface added)

  4. Domain-specific architecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain-specific_architecture

    A domain-specific architecture (DSA) is a programmable computer architecture specifically tailored to operate very efficiently within the confines of a given application domain. The term is often used in contrast to general-purpose architectures, such as CPUs , that are designed to operate on any computer program .

  5. Quicksort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quicksort

    Consider the example of [5, 2, 3, 1, 0], following the scheme, after the first partition the array becomes [0, 2, 1, 3, 5], the "index" returned is 2, which is the number 1, when the real pivot, the one we chose to start the partition with was the number 3. With this example, we see how it is necessary to include the returned index of the ...

  6. ElGamal encryption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ElGamal_encryption

    The Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA) is a variant of the ElGamal signature scheme, which should not be confused with ElGamal encryption. ElGamal encryption can be defined over any cyclic group G {\displaystyle G} , like multiplicative group of integers modulo n if and only if n is 1, 2, 4, p k or 2 p k , where p is an odd prime and k > 0 .

  7. Convex hull algorithms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convex_hull_algorithms

    Chan's algorithm is used for dimensions 2 and 3, and Quickhull is used for computation of the convex hull in higher dimensions. [ 9 ] For a finite set of points, the convex hull is a convex polyhedron in three dimensions, or in general a convex polytope for any number of dimensions, whose vertices are some of the points in the input set.

  8. Analysis of algorithms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analysis_of_algorithms

    Since algorithms are platform-independent (i.e. a given algorithm can be implemented in an arbitrary programming language on an arbitrary computer running an arbitrary operating system), there are additional significant drawbacks to using an empirical approach to gauge the comparative performance of a given set of algorithms.

  9. 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.
