  2. Linear probing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_probing

    Linear probing is a component of open addressing schemes for using a hash table to solve the dictionary problem.In the dictionary problem, a data structure should maintain a collection of key–value pairs subject to operations that insert or delete pairs from the collection or that search for the value associated with a given key.

  3. Trapdoor function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trapdoor_function

    Here the key t is the trapdoor and the padlock is the trapdoor function. An example of a simple mathematical trapdoor is "6895601 is the product of two prime numbers. What are those numbers?" A typical "brute-force" solution would be to try dividing 6895601 by many prime numbers until finding the answer. However, if one is told that 1931 is one ...

    Lumber’s price drop has been particularly dramatic in just the last 90 days in the futures market, with contract prices for July falling 28% to $466 per thousand board feet (futures prices are ...

  5. Change-making problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Change-making_problem

    Another example is attempting to make 40 US cents without nickels (denomination 25, 10, 1) with similar result — the greedy chooses seven coins (25, 10, and 5 × 1), but the optimal is four (4 × 10). A coin system is called "canonical" if the greedy algorithm always solves its change-making problem optimally.

  6. Gale–Shapley algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gale–Shapley_algorithm

    In mathematics, economics, and computer science, the Gale–Shapley algorithm (also known as the deferred acceptance algorithm, [1] propose-and-reject algorithm, [2] or Boston Pool algorithm [1]) is an algorithm for finding a solution to the stable matching problem.

  7. Hill cipher - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hill_cipher

    The effective key size, in number of bits, is the binary logarithm of the key space size. There are 26 n 2 {\displaystyle 26^{n^{2}}} matrices of dimension n × n . Thus log 2 ⁡ ( 26 n 2 ) {\displaystyle \log _{2}(26^{n^{2}})} or about 4.7 n 2 {\displaystyle 4.7n^{2}} is an upper bound on the key size of the Hill cipher using n × n matrices.

  8. 3-dimensional matching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3-dimensional_matching

    3-dimensional matchings. (a) Input T. (b)–(c) Solutions. In the mathematical discipline of graph theory, a 3-dimensional matching is a generalization of bipartite matching (also known as 2-dimensional matching) to 3-partite hypergraphs, which consist of hyperedges each of which contains 3 vertices (instead of edges containing 2 vertices in a usual graph).

  9. Knapsack problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knapsack_problem

    [1] The subset sum problem is a special case of the decision and 0-1 problems where each kind of item, the weight equals the value: =. In the field of cryptography, the term knapsack problem is often used to refer specifically to the subset sum problem. The subset sum problem is one of Karp's 21 NP-complete problems.
