  2. Streamlines, streaklines, and pathlines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streamlines,_streaklines...

    This is because when a particle on a streamline reaches a point, , further on that streamline the equations governing the flow will send it in a certain direction . As the equations that govern the flow remain the same when another particle reaches a 0 {\displaystyle a_{0}} it will also go in the direction x → {\displaystyle {\vec {x}}} .

  3. Design optimization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design_optimization

    Design optimization is an engineering design methodology using a mathematical formulation of a design problem to support selection of the optimal design among many alternatives.

  4. List of NP-complete problems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_NP-complete_problems

    This is a list of some of the more commonly known problems that are NP-complete when expressed as decision problems. As there are thousands of such problems known, this list is in no way comprehensive. Many problems of this type can be found in Garey & Johnson (1979).

  5. Business process re-engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business_process_re...

    Reengineering guidance and relationship of mission and work processes to information technology. Business process re-engineering (BPR) is a comprehensive approach to redesigning and optimizing organizational processes to improve efficiency, effectiveness, and adaptability.

  6. Stream (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stream_(computing)

    A stream can be used similarly to a list, but later elements are only calculated when needed. Streams can therefore represent infinite sequences and series. [1] In the Smalltalk standard library and in other programming languages as well, a stream is an external iterator. As in Scheme, streams can represent finite or infinite sequences.

  7. Data-flow diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data-flow_diagram

    The process (function, transformation) is part of a system that transforms inputs to outputs. The symbol of a process is a circle, an oval, a rectangle or a rectangle with rounded corners (according to the type of notation). The process is named in one word, a short sentence, or a phrase that is clearly to express its essence. [7] Data flow

  8. Computational complexity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computational_complexity

    The resource that is most commonly considered is time. When "complexity" is used without qualification, this generally means time complexity. The usual units of time (seconds, minutes etc.) are not used in complexity theory because they are too dependent on the choice of a specific computer and on the evolution of technology.

  9. Operation (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_(mathematics)

    The most commonly studied operations are binary operations (i.e., operations of arity 2), such as addition and multiplication, and unary operations (i.e., operations of arity 1), such as additive inverse and multiplicative inverse. An operation of arity zero, or nullary operation, is a constant.
