  2. Range minimum query - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Range_minimum_query

    Range minimum query reduced to the lowest common ancestor problem.. Given an array A[1 … n] of n objects taken from a totally ordered set, such as integers, the range minimum query RMQ A (l,r) =arg min A[k] (with 1 ≤ l ≤ k ≤ r ≤ n) returns the position of the minimal element in the specified sub-array A[l …

  3. Knapsack problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knapsack_problem

    The most common problem being solved is the 0-1 knapsack problem, which restricts the number of copies of each kind of item to zero or one. Given a set of items numbered from 1 up to , each with a weight and a value , along with a maximum weight capacity ,

  4. Closest pair of points problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closest_pair_of_points_problem

    The closest pair of points problem or closest pair problem is a problem of computational geometry: given points in metric space, find a pair of points with the smallest distance between them. The closest pair problem for points in the Euclidean plane [ 1 ] was among the first geometric problems that were treated at the origins of the systematic ...

  5. Change-making problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Change-making_problem

    Coin values can be modeled by a set of n distinct positive integer values (whole numbers), arranged in increasing order as w 1 through w n.The problem is: given an amount W, also a positive integer, to find a set of non-negative (positive or zero) integers {x 1, x 2, ..., x n}, with each x j representing how often the coin with value w j is used, which minimize the total number of coins f(W)

  6. Extended Euclidean algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_Euclidean_algorithm

    For example, if the polynomial used to define the finite field GF(2 8) is p = x 8 + x 4 + x 3 + x + 1, and a = x 6 + x 4 + x + 1 is the element whose inverse is desired, then performing the algorithm results in the computation described in the following table.

  7. Dynamic programming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_programming

    If the solution to any problem can be formulated recursively using the solution to its sub-problems, and if its sub-problems are overlapping, then one can easily memoize or store the solutions to the sub-problems in a table (often an array or hashtable in practice). Whenever we attempt to solve a new sub-problem, we first check the table to see ...

  8. Josephus problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Josephus_problem

    Dynamic programming is used to solve this problem in the general case by performing the first step and then using the solution of the remaining problem. When the index starts from one, then the person at s {\displaystyle s} shifts from the first person is in position ( ( s − 1 ) mod n ) + 1 {\displaystyle ((s-1){\bmod {n}})+1} , where n is ...

  9. ElGamal signature scheme - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ElGamal_signature_scheme

    The algorithm uses a key pair consisting of a public key and a private key. The private key is used to generate a digital signature for a message, and such a signature can be verified by using the signer's corresponding public key. The digital signature provides message authentication (the receiver can verify the origin of the message ...
