universal hashing

Computer science; Algorithms & data structures

A scheme that chooses randomly from a set of hash functions.

A merge sort that sorts a data stream using repeated merges. It distributes the input into k streams by repeatedly reading a block of input that fits in memory, called a run, sorting it, then writing ...

Karnaugh map

Computer science; Algorithms & data structures

A method for minimizing a boolean expression, usually aided by a rectangular map of the value of the expression for all possible input values. Input values are arranged in a Gray code. Maximal ...
