  2. Fibonacci search technique - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibonacci_search_technique

    Fibonacci search has an average- and worst-case complexity of O(log n) (see Big O notation). The Fibonacci sequence has the property that a number is the sum of its two predecessors. Therefore the sequence can be computed by repeated addition. The ratio of two consecutive numbers approaches the Golden ratio, 1.618... Binary search works by ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constant-recursive_sequence

    The Fibonacci sequence is constant-recursive: each element of the sequence is the sum of the previous two. Hasse diagram of some subclasses of constant-recursive sequences, ordered by inclusion In mathematics , an infinite sequence of numbers s 0 , s 1 , s 2 , s 3 , … {\displaystyle s_{0},s_{1},s_{2},s_{3},\ldots } is called constant ...

    The semi-Fibonacci sequence (sequence A030067 in the OEIS) is defined via the same recursion for odd-indexed terms (+) = + and () =, but for even indices () = (), . The bisection A030068 of odd-indexed terms s ( n ) = a ( 2 n − 1 ) {\displaystyle s(n)=a(2n-1)} therefore verifies s ( n + 1 ) = s ( n ) + a ( n ) {\displaystyle s(n+1)=s(n)+a(n ...

  5. Recursion (computer science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recursion_(computer_science)

    Short-circuiting the base case, also known as arm's-length recursion, consists of checking the base case before making a recursive call – i.e., checking if the next call will be the base case, instead of calling and then checking for the base case. Short-circuiting is particularly done for efficiency reasons, to avoid the overhead of a ...

  6. Function (computer programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Function_(computer...

    Recursion is a useful means to simplify some complex algorithms and break down complex problems. Recursive languages provide a new copy of local variables on each call. If the programmer desires the recursive callable to use the same variables instead of using locals, they typically declare them in a shared context such static or global.

  7. Ternary search tree - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ternary_search_tree

    Many implementations make use of an end of string character to ensure only the latter case occurs. The path is then deleted from firstMid.mid to the end of the search path. In the case that firstMid is the root, the key string must have been the last string in the tree, and thus the root is set to null after the deletion.

  8. Dynamic programming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_programming

    For example, consider the recursive formulation for generating the Fibonacci sequence: F i = F i−1 + F i−2, with base case F 1 = F 2 = 1. Then F 43 = F 42 + F 41, and F 42 = F 41 + F 40. Now F 41 is being solved in the recursive sub-trees of both F 43 as well as F 42. Even though the total number of sub-problems is actually small (only 43 ...
