  2. P versus NP problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P_versus_NP_problem

    In other words, any problem in EXPTIME is solvable by a deterministic Turing machine in O(2 p(n)) time, where p(n) is a polynomial function of n. A decision problem is EXPTIME-complete if it is in EXPTIME, and every problem in EXPTIME has a polynomial-time many-one reduction to it. A number of problems are known to be EXPTIME-complete.

  3. Partition function (number theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partition_function_(number...

    The values (), …, of the partition function (1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 15, and 22) can be determined by counting the Young diagrams for the partitions of the numbers from 1 to 8. In number theory, the partition function p(n) represents the number of possible partitions of a non-negative integer n.

  4. Range (statistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Range_(statistics)

    In descriptive statistics, the range of a set of data is size of the narrowest interval which contains all the data. It is calculated as the difference between the largest and smallest values (also known as the sample maximum and minimum). [1] It is expressed in the same units as the data. The range provides an indication of statistical ...

  5. Maximum and minimum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_and_minimum

    Finding global maxima and minima is the goal of mathematical optimization. If a function is continuous on a closed interval, then by the extreme value theorem, global maxima and minima exist. Furthermore, a global maximum (or minimum) either must be a local maximum (or minimum) in the interior of the domain, or must lie on the boundary of the ...

  6. Subset sum problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subset_sum_problem

    If n is a small fixed number, then an exhaustive search for the solution is practical. L - the precision of the problem, stated as the number of binary place values that it takes to state the problem. If L is a small fixed number, then there are dynamic programming algorithms that can solve it exactly. As both n and L grow large

    Binary search Visualization of the binary search algorithm where 7 is the target value Class Search algorithm Data structure Array Worst-case performance O (log n) Best-case performance O (1) Average performance O (log n) Worst-case space complexity O (1) Optimal Yes In computer science, binary search, also known as half-interval search, logarithmic search, or binary chop, is a search ...

  8. Legendre's formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legendre's_formula

    Since ! is the product of the integers 1 through n, we obtain at least one factor of p in ! for each multiple of p in {,, …,}, of which there are ⌊ ⌋.Each multiple of contributes an additional factor of p, each multiple of contributes yet another factor of p, etc. Adding up the number of these factors gives the infinite sum for (!

  9. Prime number theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prime_number_theorem

    The first such distribution found is π(N) ~ ⁠ N / log(N) ⁠, where π(N) is the prime-counting function (the number of primes less than or equal to N) and log(N) is the natural logarithm of N. This means that for large enough N , the probability that a random integer not greater than N is prime is very close to 1 / log( N ) .
