  2. Dutch national flag problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_national_flag_problem

    The Dutch national flag problem [1] is a computational problem proposed by Edsger Dijkstra. [2] The flag of the Netherlands consists of three colors: red, white, and blue. Given balls of these three colors arranged randomly in a line (it does not matter how many balls there are), the task is to arrange them such that all balls of the same color ...

  3. Dijkstra's algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dijkstra's_algorithm

    Dijkstra's algorithm (/ ˈ d aɪ k s t r ə z / DYKE-strəz) is an algorithm for finding the shortest paths between nodes in a weighted graph, which may represent, for example, a road network. It was conceived by computer scientist Edsger W. Dijkstra in 1956 and published three years later.

  4. Invariant theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invariant_theory

    As a result, these modified ρ(a k) are still G-invariants (because every homogeneous component of a G-invariant is a G-invariant) and have degree less than d (since deg i k > 0). The equation x = ρ( a 1 ) i 1 + ... + ρ( a n ) i n still holds for our modified ρ( a k ), so we can again conclude that x lies in the R -algebra generated by i 1 ...

  5. Arnold invariants - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arnold_invariants

    The + and invariants keep track of how curves change under these transformations and deformations. The + invariant increases by 2 when a direct self-tangency move creates new self-intersection points (and decreases by 2 when such points are eliminated), while decreases by 2 when an inverse self-tangency move creates new intersections (and increases by 2 when they are eliminated).

  6. Ambient optic array - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ambient_optic_array

    Gibson was interested in the structures of the ambient optic array that are invariant, or structures that remain static regardless of the actions of the observer. For example, Gibson noted that the upper hemisphere of the array (the sky) tends to be much less structured and brighter than the lower hemisphere (the cluttered earth).

  7. Bayesian approaches to brain function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bayesian_approaches_to...

    This field of study has its historical roots in numerous disciplines including machine learning, experimental psychology and Bayesian statistics.As early as the 1860s, with the work of Hermann Helmholtz in experimental psychology, the brain's ability to extract perceptual information from sensory data was modeled in terms of probabilistic estimation.

  8. Smoothsort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoothsort

    In computer science, smoothsort is a comparison-based sorting algorithm.A variant of heapsort, it was invented and published by Edsger Dijkstra in 1981. [1] Like heapsort, smoothsort is an in-place algorithm with an upper bound of O(n log n) operations (see big O notation), [2] but it is not a stable sort.

  9. Bootstrapping (statistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bootstrapping_(statistics)

    An example of the first resample might look like this X 1 * = x 2, x 1, x 10, x 10, x 3, x 4, x 6, x 7, x 1, x 9. There are some duplicates since a bootstrap resample comes from sampling with replacement from the data. Also the number of data points in a bootstrap resample is equal to the number of data points in our original observations.
