In mathematics, the polar decomposition of a square real or complex matrix is a factorization of the form =, where is a unitary matrix and is a positive semi-definite Hermitian matrix (is an orthogonal matrix and is a positive semi-definite symmetric matrix in the real case), both square and of the same size.
Similar to convex order, Laplace transform order is established by comparing the expectation of a function of the random variable where the function is from a special class: () = (). This makes the Laplace transform order an integral stochastic order with the generator set given by the function set defined above with α {\displaystyle ...
Shuffling can also be implemented by a sorting algorithm, namely by a random sort: assigning a random number to each element of the list and then sorting based on the random numbers. This is generally not done in practice, however, and there is a well-known simple and efficient algorithm for shuffling: the Fisher–Yates shuffle .
If different items have different sort key values then this defines a unique order of the items. Workers sorting parcels in a postal facility. A standard order is often called ascending (corresponding to the fact that the standard order of numbers is ascending, i.e. A to Z, 0 to 9), the reverse order descending (Z to A, 9 to 0).
Sorting a set of unlabelled weights by weight using only a balance scale requires a comparison sort algorithm. A comparison sort is a type of sorting algorithm that only reads the list elements through a single abstract comparison operation (often a "less than or equal to" operator or a three-way comparison) that determines which of two elements should occur first in the final sorted list.

No. 10 SMU (10-1, at-large) at No. 7 Penn State (10-1, at-large) SMU should find itself in the field for the first time after an easy win over Virginia that clinched a spot in the ACC title game.
The Z-ordering can be used to efficiently build a quadtree (2D) or octree (3D) for a set of points. [4] [5] The basic idea is to sort the input set according to Z-order.Once sorted, the points can either be stored in a binary search tree and used directly, which is called a linear quadtree, [6] or they can be used to build a pointer based quadtree.
