  2. Fragmentation (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fragmentation_(computing)

    In computer storage, fragmentation is a phenomenon in which storage space, such as computer memory or a hard drive, is used inefficiently, reducing capacity or performance and often both. The exact consequences of fragmentation depend on the specific system of storage allocation in use and the particular form of fragmentation.

  3. Binary space partitioning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_space_partitioning

    In computer science, binary space partitioning (BSP) is a method for space partitioning which recursively subdivides a Euclidean space into two convex sets by using hyperplanes as partitions. This process of subdividing gives rise to a representation of objects within the space in the form of a tree data structure known as a BSP tree.

    Memory partition, a memory management technique; Partition (database), the division of a logical database; Logical partition, a subset of a computer's resources, virtualized as a separate computer; Binary space partitioning, in computer science; Partition problem, in number theory and computer science

  5. Balanced number partitioning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balanced_number_partitioning

    The output is a partition of the items into m subsets, such that the number of items in each subset is at most k. Subject to this, it is required that the sums of sizes in the m subsets are as similar as possible. An example application is identical-machines scheduling where each machine has a job-queue that can hold at most k jobs. [1]

  6. 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.

  7. Hash function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_function

    The meaning of "small enough" depends on the size of the type that is used as the hashed value. For example, in Java , the hash code is a 32-bit integer. Thus the 32-bit integer Integer and 32-bit floating-point Float objects can simply use the value directly, whereas the 64-bit integer Long and 64-bit floating-point Double cannot.

  8. Transversal (combinatorics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transversal_(combinatorics)

    Another instance of a partition-based transversal occurs when one considers the equivalence relation known as the (set-theoretic) kernel of a function, defined for a function with domain X as the partition of the domain ⁡:= {{() = ()}}. which partitions the domain of f into equivalence classes such that all elements in a class map via f to ...

    Τhe additional features are attached or related to the set (or to the sets), so as to provide it (or them) with some additional meaning or significance. A partial list of possible structures are measures , algebraic structures ( groups , fields , etc.), topologies , metric structures ( geometries ), orders , graphs , events , equivalence ...
