2. 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.

3. Non-blocking algorithm - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-blocking_algorithm

   Non-blocking algorithm. In computer science, an algorithm is called non-blocking if failure or suspension of any thread cannot cause failure or suspension of another thread; [1] for some operations, these algorithms provide a useful alternative to traditional blocking implementations. A non-blocking algorithm is lock-free if there is guaranteed ...

4. Declarative programming - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Declarative_programming

   Declarative programming is a non-imperative style of programming in which programs describe their desired results without explicitly listing commands or steps that must be performed. Functional and logic programming languages are characterized by a declarative programming style. In logic programming, programs consist of sentences expressed in ...

5. 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 ...

6. Generic programming - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generic_programming

   The "generic programming" paradigm is an approach to software decomposition whereby fundamental requirements on types are abstracted from across concrete examples of algorithms and data structures and formalized as concepts, analogously to the abstraction of algebraic theories in abstract algebra. [6] Early examples of this programming approach ...

7. Sequitur algorithm - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sequitur_algorithm

   Sequitur algorithm. Sequitur (or Nevill-Manning–Witten algorithm) is a recursive algorithm developed by Craig Nevill-Manning and Ian H. Witten in 1997 [1] that infers a hierarchical structure (context-free grammar) from a sequence of discrete symbols. The algorithm operates in linear space and time. It can be used in data compression software ...

8. Julia (programming language) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julia_(programming_language)

   Julia is a high-level, general-purpose [20] dynamic programming language, most commonly used for numerical analysis and computational science. [21] [22] [23] Distinctive aspects of Julia's design include a type system with parametric polymorphism and the use of multiple dispatch as a core programming paradigm, efficient garbage collection, [24] and a just-in-time (JIT) compiler [20] [25] (with ...

9. 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.
