  2. Block swap algorithms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block_swap_algorithms

    A rotation is an in-place reversal of array elements. This method swaps two elements of an array from outside in within a range. The rotation works for an even or odd number of array elements. The reversal algorithm uses three in-place rotations to accomplish an in-place block swap: Rotate region A; Rotate region B; Rotate region AB

  3. Partial sorting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partial_sorting

    A further relaxation requiring only a list of the k smallest elements, but without requiring that these be ordered, makes the problem equivalent to partition-based selection; the original partial sorting problem can be solved by such a selection algorithm to obtain an array where the first k elements are the k smallest, and sorting these, at a total cost of O(n + k log k) operations.

  4. Circular shift - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_shift

    Matrices of 8-element circular shifts to the left and right In combinatorial mathematics , a circular shift is the operation of rearranging the entries in a tuple , either by moving the final entry to the first position, while shifting all other entries to the next position, or by performing the inverse operation.

  5. Array programming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Array_programming

    An array language simplifies programming but possibly at a cost known as the abstraction penalty. [3] [4] [5] Because the additions are performed in isolation from the rest of the coding, they may not produce the optimally most efficient code. (For example, additions of other elements of the same array may be subsequently encountered during the ...

  6. Rodrigues' rotation formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rodrigues'_rotation_formula

    Let k be a unit vector defining a rotation axis, and let v be any vector to rotate about k by angle θ (right hand rule, anticlockwise in the figure), producing the rotated vector . Using the dot and cross products , the vector v can be decomposed into components parallel and perpendicular to the axis k ,

  7. Sorting algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sorting_algorithm

    Sorting small arrays optimally (in the fewest comparisons and swaps) or fast (i.e. taking into account machine-specific details) is still an open research problem, with solutions only known for very small arrays (<20 elements). Similarly optimal (by various definitions) sorting on a parallel machine is an open research topic.

  8. K-sorted sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K-sorted_sequence

    It is still possible that no element of the sequence is at the place where it should be if the sequence were perfectly ordered. The nearly-sorted sequences are particularly useful when the exact order of element has little importance. For example Twitter [1] nearly sort tweets, up to the second, as there is no need for more precision. Actually ...

  9. Quaternions and spatial rotation - Wikipedia

    3D visualization of a sphere and a rotation about an Euler axis (^) by an angle of In 3-dimensional space, according to Euler's rotation theorem, any rotation or sequence of rotations of a rigid body or coordinate system about a fixed point is equivalent to a single rotation by a given angle about a fixed axis (called the Euler axis) that runs through the fixed point.
