  2. Levenshtein distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levenshtein_distance

    Edit distance matrix for two words using cost of substitution as 1 and cost of deletion or insertion as 0.5. For example, the Levenshtein distance between "kitten" and "sitting" is 3, since the following 3 edits change one into the other, and there is no way to do it with fewer than 3 edits: kitten → sitten (substitution of "s" for "k"),

  3. Word ladder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Word_ladder

    Word ladder (also known as Doublets, [1] word-links, change-the-word puzzles, paragrams, laddergrams, [2] or word golf) is a word game invented by Lewis Carroll. A word ladder puzzle begins with two words, and to solve the puzzle one must find a chain of other words to link the two, in which two adjacent words (that is, words in successive ...

  4. String metric - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String_metric

    The most widely known string metric is a rudimentary one called the Levenshtein distance (also known as edit distance). [2] It operates between two input strings, returning a number equivalent to the number of substitutions and deletions needed in order to transform one input string into another.

  5. Damerau–Levenshtein distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damerau–Levenshtein_distance

    The Damerau–Levenshtein distance LD(CA, ABC) = 2 because CA → AC → ABC, but the optimal string alignment distance OSA(CA, ABC) = 3 because if the operation CA → AC is used, it is not possible to use AC → ABC because that would require the substring to be edited more than once, which is not allowed in OSA, and therefore the shortest ...

  6. Word problem (mathematics education) - Wikipedia

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

    Word problem from the Līlāvatī (12th century), with its English translation and solution. In science education, a word problem is a mathematical exercise (such as in a textbook, worksheet, or exam) where significant background information on the problem is presented in ordinary language rather than in mathematical notation.

  7. Combinatorics on words - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combinatorics_on_words

    Many word problems are undecidable based on the Post correspondence problem. Any two homomorphisms, with a common domain and a common codomain form an instance of the Post correspondence problem, which asks whether there exists a word in the domain such that () = (). Post proved that this problem is undecidable; consequently, any word problem ...
