  2. Dijkstra's algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dijkstra's_algorithm

    Dijkstra's algorithm (/ ˈdaɪkstrəz / DYKE-strəz) is an algorithm for finding the shortest paths between nodes in a weighted graph, which may represent, for example, road networks. It was conceived by computer scientist Edsger W. Dijkstra in 1956 and published three years later. [4][5][6] Dijkstra's algorithm finds the shortest path from a ...

  3. Sorting algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sorting_algorithm

    Main article: Bubble sort. Bubble sort is a simple sorting algorithm. The algorithm starts at the beginning of the data set. It compares the first two elements, and if the first is greater than the second, it swaps them. It continues doing this for each pair of adjacent elements to the end of the data set.

  4. List of algorithms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_algorithms

    Dinic's algorithm: is a strongly polynomial algorithm for computing the maximum flow in a flow network. Edmonds–Karp algorithm: implementation of Ford–Fulkerson. Ford–Fulkerson algorithm: computes the maximum flow in a graph. Karger's algorithm: a Monte Carlo method to compute the minimum cut of a connected graph.

  5. Greedy algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greedy_algorithm

    A greedy algorithm is used to construct a Huffman tree during Huffman coding where it finds an optimal solution. In decision tree learning, greedy algorithms are commonly used, however they are not guaranteed to find the optimal solution. One popular such algorithm is the ID3 algorithm for decision tree construction.

  6. Algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algorithm

    Algorithm. In mathematics and computer science, an algorithm (/ ˈælɡərɪðəm / ⓘ) is a finite sequence of mathematically rigorous instructions, typically used to solve a class of specific problems or to perform a computation. [1] Algorithms are used as specifications for performing calculations and data processing.

  7. Simplex algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simplex_algorithm

    Simplex algorithm. In mathematical optimization, Dantzig 's simplex algorithm (or simplex method) is a popular algorithm for linear programming. [1] The name of the algorithm is derived from the concept of a simplex and was suggested by T. S. Motzkin. [2] Simplices are not actually used in the method, but one interpretation of it is that it ...

  8. Round-robin scheduling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Round-robin_scheduling

    Round-robin algorithm is a pre-emptive algorithm as the scheduler forces the process out of the CPU once the time quota expires. For example, if the time slot is 100 milliseconds, and job1 takes a total time of 250 ms to complete, the round-robin scheduler will suspend the job after 100 ms and give other jobs their time on the CPU.

  9. Analysis of algorithms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analysis_of_algorithms

    In computer science, the analysis of algorithms is the process of finding the computational complexity of algorithms —the amount of time, storage, or other resources needed to execute them. Usually, this involves determining a function that relates the size of an algorithm's input to the number of steps it takes (its time complexity) or the ...
