  2. LCP array - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LCP_array

    Likewise, the LCP of A[2] = ab and A[3] = abaab is ab, so H[3] = 2. Augmenting the suffix array with the LCP array allows one to efficiently simulate top-down and bottom-up traversals of the suffix tree , [ 1 ] [ 2 ] speeds up pattern matching on the suffix array [ 3 ] and is a prerequisite for compressed suffix trees.

  3. Entropy coding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entropy_coding

    In information theory, an entropy coding (or entropy encoding) is any lossless data compression method that attempts to approach the lower bound declared by Shannon's source coding theorem, which states that any lossless data compression method must have an expected code length greater than or equal to the entropy of the source. [1]

  4. Longest word in English - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longest_word_in_English

    Schmaltzed and strengthed (10 letters) appear to be the longest monosyllabic words recorded in The Oxford English Dictionary, while scraunched and scroonched appear to be the longest monosyllabic words recorded in Webster's Third New International Dictionary; but squirrelled (11 letters) is the longest if pronounced as one syllable only (as ...

  5. Entropy (information theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entropy_(information_theory)

    The concept of information entropy was introduced by Claude Shannon in his 1948 paper "A Mathematical Theory of Communication", [2] [3] and is also referred to as Shannon entropy. Shannon's theory defines a data communication system composed of three elements: a source of data, a communication channel , and a receiver.

  6. Min-entropy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Min-entropy

    The min-entropy, in information theory, is the smallest of the Rényi family of entropies, corresponding to the most conservative way of measuring the unpredictability of a set of outcomes, as the negative logarithm of the probability of the most likely outcome.

  7. 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"),

  8. Landauer's principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landauer's_principle

    Landauer's principle is a physical principle pertaining to a lower theoretical limit of energy consumption of computation.It holds that an irreversible change in information stored in a computer, such as merging two computational paths, dissipates a minimum amount of heat to its surroundings. [1]

  9. Longest common subsequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longest_common_subsequence

    The prefix S n of S is defined as the first n characters of S. [5] For example, the prefixes of S = (AGCA) are S 0 = S 1 = (A) S 2 = (AG) S 3 = (AGC) S 4 = (AGCA). Let LCS(X, Y) be a function that computes a longest subsequence common to X and Y. Such a function has two interesting properties.
