Equal-cardinality partition is a variant in which both parts should have an equal number of items, in addition to having an equal sum. This variant is NP-hard too. [5]: SP12 Proof. Given a standard Partition instance with some n numbers, construct an Equal-Cardinality-Partition instance by adding n zeros. Clearly, the new instance has an equal ...
Recursive partitioning is a statistical method for multivariable analysis. [1] Recursive partitioning creates a decision tree that strives to correctly classify members of the population by splitting it into sub-populations based on several dichotomous independent variables .
Balanced number partitioning is a variant of multiway number partitioning in which there are constraints on the number of items allocated to each set. The input to the problem is a set of n items of different sizes, and two integers m, k. The output is a partition of the items into m subsets, such that the number of items in each subset is at ...
In computer science, greedy number partitioning is a class of greedy algorithms for multiway number partitioning. The input to the algorithm is a set S of numbers, and a parameter k . The required output is a partition of S into k subsets, such that the sums in the subsets are as nearly equal as possible.
However, with a partitioning algorithm such as the Hoare partition scheme, repeated elements generally results in better partitioning, and although needless swaps of elements equal to the pivot may occur, the running time generally decreases as the number of repeated elements increases (with memory cache reducing the swap overhead).
The target value T is computed by taking the sum of all elements in S, then divided by m. Output: whether or not there exists a partition of S such that, for all triplets, the sum of the elements in each triplet equals T. The 3-partition problem remains strongly NP-complete under the restriction that every integer in S is strictly between T/4 ...
The example in Figure 3 illustrates 2 instances of the same graph such that in (a) modularity (Q) is the partitioning metric and in (b), ratio-cut is the partitioning metric. Figure 3: Weighted graph G may be partitioned to maximize Q in (a) or to minimize the ratio-cut in (b).
Denote the n objects to partition by the integers 1, 2, ..., n. Define the reduced Stirling numbers of the second kind, denoted (,), to be the number of ways to partition the integers 1, 2, ..., n into k nonempty subsets such that all elements in each subset have pairwise distance at least d.
