  2. Absement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absement

    It is the first time-integral of the displacement [3] [4] (i.e. absement is the area under a displacement vs. time graph), so the displacement is the rate of change (first time-derivative) of the absement. The dimension of absement is length multiplied by time.

  3. Library of Efficient Data types and Algorithms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Library_of_Efficient_Data...

    The bigfloat type improves on the C++ floating-point types by allowing for the significand (also commonly called mantissa) to be set to an arbitrary level of precision instead of following the IEEE standard. LEDA's real type allows for precise representations of real numbers, and can be used to compute the sign of a radical expression. [1]

  4. Word problem (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    The word problem for an algebra is then to determine, given two expressions (words) involving the generators and operations, whether they represent the same element of the algebra modulo the identities. The word problems for groups and semigroups can be phrased as word problems for algebras. [1]

  5. Motion graphs and derivatives - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_graphs_and_derivatives

    Since the velocity of the object is the derivative of the position graph, the area under the line in the velocity vs. time graph is the displacement of the object. (Velocity is on the y-axis and time on the x-axis. Multiplying the velocity by the time, the time cancels out, and only displacement remains.)

  6. Word metric - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Word_metric

    In group theory, a word metric on a discrete group is a way to measure distance between any two elements of .As the name suggests, the word metric is a metric on , assigning to any two elements , of a distance (,) that measures how efficiently their difference can be expressed as a word whose letters come from a generating set for the group.

  7. Quadratic assignment problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratic_assignment_problem

    For each pair of locations, a distance is specified and for each pair of facilities a weight or flow is specified (e.g., the amount of supplies transported between the two facilities). The problem is to assign all facilities to different locations with the goal of minimizing the sum of the distances multiplied by the corresponding flows.

  8. Dynamic problem (algorithms) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_problem_(algorithms)

    Given a class of input objects, find efficient algorithms and data structures to answer a certain query about a set of input objects each time the input data is modified, i.e., objects are inserted or deleted. Problems in this class have the following measures of complexity: Space – the amount of memory space required to store the data structure;

  9. Longest path problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longest_path_problem

    In graph theory and theoretical computer science, the longest path problem is the problem of finding a simple path of maximum length in a given graph.A path is called simple if it does not have any repeated vertices; the length of a path may either be measured by its number of edges, or (in weighted graphs) by the sum of the weights of its edges.
