  2. Longest common subsequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longest_common_subsequence

    A longest common subsequence (LCS) is the longest subsequence common to all sequences in a set of sequences (often just two sequences). It differs from the longest common substring: unlike substrings, subsequences are not required to occupy consecutive positions within the original sequences. The problem of computing longest common subsequences ...

  3. Markov chain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markov_chain

    For example, the transition probabilities from 5 to 4 and 5 to 6 are both 0.5, and all other transition probabilities from 5 are 0. These probabilities are independent of whether the system was previously in 4 or 6. A series of independent states (for example, a series of coin flips) satisfies the formal definition of a Markov chain.

  4. Strassen algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strassen_algorithm

    Strassen algorithm. In linear algebra, the Strassen algorithm, named after Volker Strassen, is an algorithm for matrix multiplication. It is faster than the standard matrix multiplication algorithm for large matrices, with a better asymptotic complexity, although the naive algorithm is often better for smaller matrices.

  5. Matrix (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    Matrix (mathematics) An m × n matrix: the m rows are horizontal and the n columns are vertical. Each element of a matrix is often denoted by a variable with two subscripts. For example, a2,1 represents the element at the second row and first column of the matrix. In mathematics, a matrix (pl.: matrices) is a rectangular array or table of ...

  6. Cholesky decomposition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cholesky_decomposition

    In linear algebra, the Cholesky decomposition or Cholesky factorization (pronounced / ʃəˈlɛski / shə-LES-kee) is a decomposition of a Hermitian, positive-definite matrix into the product of a lower triangular matrix and its conjugate transpose, which is useful for efficient numerical solutions, e.g., Monte Carlo simulations.

  7. Travelling salesman problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Travelling_salesman_problem

    A real-world example is avoiding narrow streets with big buses. [15] The problem is of considerable practical importance, apart from evident transportation and logistics areas. A classic example is in printed circuit manufacturing: scheduling of a route of the drill machine to drill holes in a PCB. In robotic machining or drilling applications ...

  8. List of named matrices - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_named_matrices

    Synonym for (0,1)-matrix, binary matrix or Boolean matrix. Can be used to represent a k-adic relation. Markov matrix: A matrix of non-negative real numbers, such that the entries in each row sum to 1. Metzler matrix: A matrix whose off-diagonal entries are non-negative. Monomial matrix: A square matrix with exactly one non-zero entry in each ...

  9. Invertible matrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invertible_matrix

    Matrix inversion is the process of finding the matrix which when multiplied by the original matrix gives the identity matrix. [2] Over a field, a square matrix that is not invertible is called singular or degenerate. A square matrix with entries in a field is singular if and only if its determinant is zero.
