  2. Analysis of algorithms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analysis_of_algorithms

    In computer science, the analysis of algorithms is the process of finding the computational complexity of algorithms—the amount of time, storage, or other resources needed to execute them. Usually, this involves determining a function that relates the size of an algorithm's input to the number of steps it takes (its time complexity ) or the ...

  3. Sweep and prune - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweep_and_prune

    In physical simulations, sweep and prune is a broad phase algorithm used during collision detection to limit the number of pairs of solids that need to be checked for collision, i.e. intersection. This is achieved by sorting the starts (lower bound) and ends (upper bound) of the bounding volume of each solid along a number of arbitrary axes. As ...

  4. Endovascular coiling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endovascular_coiling

    Endovascular coiling is an endovascular treatment for intracranial aneurysms and bleeding throughout the body. The procedure reduces blood circulation to an aneurysm or blood vessel through the implantation of detachable platinum wires, with the clinician inserting one or more into the blood vessel or aneurysm until it is determined that blood flow is no longer occurring within the space.

  5. Insertion sort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insertion_sort

    However, insertion sort is one of the fastest algorithms for sorting very small arrays, even faster than quicksort; indeed, good quicksort implementations use insertion sort for arrays smaller than a certain threshold, also when arising as subproblems; the exact threshold must be determined experimentally and depends on the machine, but is ...

  6. Category:Stable sorts - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Stable_sorts

    Stable sorting algorithms maintain the relative order of records with equal keys (i.e. values). That is, a sorting algorithm is stable if whenever there are two records R and S with the same key and with R appearing before S in the original list, R will appear before S in the sorted list.

  7. Emergency bleeding control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emergency_bleeding_control

    External bleeding is generally described in terms of the origin of the blood flow by vessel type. The basic categories of external bleeding are: Arterial bleeding: As the name suggests, blood flow originating in an artery. With this type of bleeding, the blood is typically bright red to yellowish in colour, due to the high degree of oxygenation.

  8. Merge-insertion sort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merge-insertion_sort

    In this sense, it is a hybrid algorithm that combines both merge sort and insertion sort. [9] For small inputs (up to =) its numbers of comparisons equal the lower bound on comparison sorting of ⌈ ⁡! ⌉ ⁡. However, for larger inputs the number of comparisons made by the merge-insertion algorithm is bigger than this lower bound.

  9. Amortized analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amortized_analysis

    [1]: 306 As a conclusion: "Amortized analysis is a useful tool that complements other techniques such as worst-case and average-case analysis." [ 2 ] : 14 [ 3 ] For a given operation of an algorithm, certain situations (e.g., input parametrizations or data structure contents) may imply a significant cost in resources, whereas other situations ...
