Algorithms & data structures

optimal cost

Computer science; Algorithms & data structures

The minimum cost to process an input sequence.

The minimum number of bits into which a string can be compressed without losing information. This is defined with respect to a fixed, but universal decompression scheme, given by a universal Turing ...

MODIFIND

Computer science; Algorithms & data structures

Select the k th smallest element of an array and partition the array around it. Partition around the value of the k th element. If the partition boundary is not at k, repeat in the partition that ...

parallel computation thesis

Computer science; Algorithms & data structures

Sequential space is a polynomial of parallel time.

prefix code

Computer science; Algorithms & data structures

Set of words such that no word of the set is a prefix of another word in the set. A prefix code may be represented by a coding tree.

iteration

Computer science; Algorithms & data structures

Solve a problem by repeatedly working on successive parts of the problem.

divide and conquer

Computer science; Algorithms & data structures

Solve a problem, either directly because solving that instance is easy (typically, because the instance is small) or by dividing it into two or more smaller instances. Each of these smaller instances ...
