Algorithms & data structures

nondeterministic tree automaton

Computer science; Algorithms & data structures

A nondeterministic finite state machine that accepts infinite trees rather than just strings. The tree nodes are marked with the letters of the alphabet of the automaton, and the transition function ...

don't care

Computer science; Algorithms & data structures

A special symbol which matches any other symbol of a given alphabet.

blind trie

Computer science; Algorithms & data structures

A specialized Patricia tree whose internal nodes store only an integer, k, which is the length of the common prefix of the strings in the children. Equivalently, the strings first differ in the (k+1) ...

blind sort

Computer science; Algorithms & data structures

A specialized sort algorithm that first builds a blind trie, then traverse the tree left to right.

bounded stack

Computer science; Algorithms & data structures

A stack limited to a fixed number of items.

existential state

Computer science; Algorithms & data structures

A state in a nondeterministic Turing machine from which the machine accepts if any move leads to acceptance.

universal state

Computer science; Algorithms & data structures

A state in an alternating Turing machine from which the machine accepts only if all possible moves lead to acceptance.
