  2. Z-order curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z-order_curve

    The Z-ordering can be used to efficiently build a quadtree (2D) or octree (3D) for a set of points. [4] [5] The basic idea is to sort the input set according to Z-order.Once sorted, the points can either be stored in a binary search tree and used directly, which is called a linear quadtree, [6] or they can be used to build a pointer based quadtree.

  3. Center of pressure (terrestrial locomotion) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Center_of_pressure...

    In biomechanics, center of pressure (CoP) is the term given to the point of application of the ground reaction force vector. The ground reaction force vector represents the sum of all forces acting between a physical object and its supporting surface. Analysis of the center of pressure is common in studies on human postural control and gait.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ALGOL_58

    ALGOL 58, originally named IAL, is one of the family of ALGOL computer programming languages.It was an early compromise design soon superseded by ALGOL 60.According to John Backus:

  5. Covariance and contravariance (computer science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Covariance_and_contra...

    Read-only data types (sources) can be covariant; write-only data types (sinks) can be contravariant. Mutable data types which act as both sources and sinks should be invariant. To illustrate this general phenomenon, consider the array type. For the type Animal we can make the type Animal [], which is an "array of animals". For the purposes of ...

  6. Implicit data structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Implicit_data_structure

    A trivial example of an implicit data structure is an array data structure, which is an implicit data structure for a list, and requires only the constant overhead of the length; unlike a linked list, which has a pointer associated with each data element, which explicitly gives the relationship from one element to the next.

  7. Interval tree - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interval_tree

    This data structure consists of two lists, one containing all the intervals sorted by their beginning points, and another containing all the intervals sorted by their ending points. The result is a binary tree with each node storing: A center point; A pointer to another node containing all intervals completely to the left of the center point

  8. Van Emde Boas tree - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_Emde_Boas_tree

    Fusion trees are another type of tree data structure that implements an associative array on w-bit integers on a finite universe. They use word-level parallelism and bit manipulation techniques to achieve O (log w n ) time for predecessor/successor queries and updates, where w is the word size. [ 5 ]

  9. Cap product - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cap_product

    In analogy with the interpretation of the cup product in terms of the Künneth formula, we can explain the existence of the cap product in the following way.Using CW approximation we may assume that is a CW-complex and () (and ()) is the complex of its cellular chains (or cochains, respectively).
