To find the exact position of the search key in the list a linear search is performed on the sublist L [(k-1)m, km]. The optimal value of m is √ n, where n is the length of the list L. Because both steps of the algorithm look at, at most, √ n items the algorithm runs in O(√ n) time. This is better than a linear search, but worse than a ...
A schematic picture of the skip list data structure. Each box with an arrow represents a pointer and a row is a linked list giving a sparse subsequence; the numbered boxes (in yellow) at the bottom represent the ordered data sequence.
In computer science, jump point search (JPS) is an optimization to the A* search algorithm for uniform-cost grids. It reduces symmetries in the search procedure by means of graph pruning, [1] eliminating certain nodes in the grid based on assumptions that can be made about the current node's neighbors, as long as certain conditions relating to the grid are satisfied.
Establishing whether a jump is safe is not always feasible, as safe jumps are defined in terms of the set of solutions, which is what the algorithm is trying to find. In practice, backjumping algorithms use the lowest index they can efficiently prove to be a safe jump. Different algorithms use different methods for determining whether a jump is ...
In computer science, the Boyer–Moore string-search algorithm is an efficient string-searching algorithm that is the standard benchmark for practical string-search literature. [1] It was developed by Robert S. Boyer and J Strother Moore in 1977. [ 2 ]
Budget carrier Spirit Airlines filed for bankruptcy this week, stoking concern about how the financial peril of a low-fare option could impact prices across the industry. The Florida-based company ...

Exponential search allows for searching through a sorted, unbounded list for a specified input value (the search "key"). The algorithm consists of two stages. The first stage determines a range in which the search key would reside if it were in the list. In the second stage, a binary search is performed on this range.
