primitive recursive

Computer science; Algorithms & data structures

A total function which can be written using only nested conditional (if-then-else) statements and fixed iteration (for) loops.

polynomial-time reduction

Computer science; Algorithms & data structures

A transformation of one problem into another which is computable in polynomial time.

work-preserving

Computer science; Algorithms & data structures

A translation of an algorithm from one model of computation to another in which the work is the same in both models, to within a constant factor.

adaptive k-d tree

Computer science; Algorithms & data structures

A tree for multidimensional points where successive levels may be split along different dimensions.

digital tree

Computer science; Algorithms & data structures
