Algorithms & data structures

candidate verification

Computer science; Algorithms & data structures

The stage of two-dimensional matching where candidate occurrences of the pattern are actually tested.

next state

Computer science; Algorithms & data structures

The state immediately following the current state, defined by the transition function of a finite state machine and the input.

Euclidean distance

Computer science; Algorithms & data structures

The straight line distance between two points. In a plane with p 1 at (x 1 , y 1 ) and p 2 at (x 2 , y 2 ), it is √((x 1 - x 2 )² + (y 1 - y 2 )²).

uniform circuit complexity

Computer science; Algorithms & data structures

The study of complexity classes defined by uniform circuit families.

circuit complexity

Computer science; Algorithms & data structures

The study of the size, depth, and other attributes of circuits that decide specified languages or compute specified functions.

average-case cost

Computer science; Algorithms & data structures

The sum of costs of an algorithm over all possible inputs divided by the number of possible inputs.

midrange

Computer science; Algorithms & data structures

The sum of the minimum and maximum values, divided by two.
