  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. Perceived visual angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perceived_visual_angle

    So. according to the "new" perceptual invariance hypothesis, (S′ / D′ = tan θ′), with θ′ larger for the lower circle, and with D′ correctly the same for both circles, then S′ becomes larger for the lower one by the same ratio that θ′ is larger. That is, the reason the lower one looks a larger linear size on the page is because ...

    For example, a circle swept along a straight axis would define a cylinder (see Figure). A rectangle swept along a straight axis would define a "brick" (see Figure). Four dimensions with contrastive values (i.e., mutually exclusive values) define the current set of geons (see Figure): Shape of cross section: round vs. straight.

  6. Recognition-by-components theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recognition-by-components...

    One of the most defining factors of the recognition-by-components theory is that it enables us to recognize objects regardless of viewing angle; this is known as viewpoint invariance. It is proposed that the reason for this effect is the invariant edge properties of geons. [4] The invariant edge properties are as follows:

  7. 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).

  8. Edsger W. Dijkstra - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edsger_W._Dijkstra

    Edsger Wybe Dijkstra (/ ˈ d aɪ k s t r ə / DYKE-strə; Dutch: [ˈɛtsxər ˈʋibə ˈdɛikstraː] ⓘ; 11 May 1930 – 6 August 2002) was a Dutch computer scientist, programmer, software engineer, mathematician, and science essayist. [1] [2]

  9. 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 ...
