  2. Introduction to Algorithms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Introduction_to_Algorithms

    Introduction to Algorithms is a book on computer programming by Thomas H. Cormen, Charles E. Leiserson, Ronald L. Rivest, and Clifford Stein.The book has been widely used as the textbook for algorithms courses at many universities [1] and is commonly cited as a reference for algorithms in published papers, with over 10,000 citations documented on CiteSeerX, [2] and over 67,000 citation on ...

  3. Algorithms + Data Structures = Programs - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algorithms_+_Data...

    Pages. 392. Algorithms + Data Structures = Programs[1] is a 1976 book written by Niklaus Wirth covering some of the fundamental topics of system engineering, computer programming, particularly that algorithms and data structures are inherently related. For example, if one has a sorted list one will use a search algorithm optimal for sorted lists.

  4. Tabu search - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tabu_search

    Tabu search (TS) is a metaheuristic search method employing local search methods used for mathematical optimization. It was created by Fred W. Glover in 1986 [1] and formalized in 1989. [2][3] Local (neighborhood) searches take a potential solution to a problem and check its immediate neighbors (that is, solutions that are similar except for ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karmarkar's_algorithm

    Algorithm Affine-Scaling . Since the actual algorithm is rather complicated, researchers looked for a more intuitive version of it, and in 1985 developed affine scaling, a version of Karmarkar's algorithm that uses affine transformations where Karmarkar used projective ones, only to realize four years later that they had rediscovered an algorithm published by Soviet mathematician I. I. Dikin ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knuth–Morris–Pratt...

    In computer science, the Knuth–Morris–Pratt algorithm (or KMP algorithm) is a string-searching algorithm that searches for occurrences of a "word" W within a main "text string" S by employing the observation that when a mismatch occurs, the word itself embodies sufficient information to determine where the next match could begin, thus bypassing re-examination of previously matched characters.

  7. Sorting algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sorting_algorithm

    Merge sort. In computer science, a sorting algorithm is an algorithm that puts elements of a list into an order. The most frequently used orders are numerical order and lexicographical order, and either ascending or descending.

  8. Search algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Search_algorithm

    Search algorithm. In computer science, a search algorithm is an algorithm designed to solve a search problem. Search algorithms work to retrieve information stored within particular data structure, or calculated in the search space of a problem domain, with either discrete or continuous values. Although search engines use search algorithms ...

    Figure 1. Finding the shortest path in a graph using optimal substructure; a straight line indicates a single edge; a wavy line indicates a shortest path between the two vertices it connects (among other paths, not shown, sharing the same two vertices); the bold line is the overall shortest path from start to goal.
