  2. Coombs' method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coombs'_method

    Coombs' method is a ranked voting system.Like instant-runoff (IRV-RCV), Coombs' method is a sequential-loser method, where the last-place finisher according to one method is eliminated in each round.

  3. Random assignment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_assignment

    Random assignment or random placement is an experimental technique for assigning human participants or animal subjects to different groups in an experiment (e.g., a treatment group versus a control group) using randomization, such as by a chance procedure (e.g., flipping a coin) or a random number generator. [1]

  4. Sequential elimination method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sequential_elimination_method

    The sequential elimination methods are a class of voting systems that repeatedly eliminate the last-place finisher of another voting method until a single candidate remains. [1] The method used to determine the loser is called the base method .

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Applications_of_randomness

    For these applications, truly random numbers are ideal, and very high quality pseudo-random numbers are necessary if truly random numbers, such as coming from a hardware random number generator, are unavailable. Truly random numbers are absolutely required to be assured of the theoretical security provided by the one-time pad — the only ...

  6. Sudoku solving algorithms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudoku_solving_algorithms

    Sudoku can be solved using stochastic (random-based) algorithms. [11] [12] An example of this method is to: Randomly assign numbers to the blank cells in the grid. Calculate the number of errors. "Shuffle" the inserted numbers until the number of mistakes is reduced to zero. A solution to the puzzle is then found.

  8. DPLL algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DPLL_algorithm

    In logic and computer science, the Davis–Putnam–Logemann–Loveland (DPLL) algorithm is a complete, backtracking-based search algorithm for deciding the satisfiability of propositional logic formulae in conjunctive normal form, i.e. for solving the CNF-SAT problem.

  9. Instant-runoff voting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instant-runoff_voting

    Instant-runoff voting (IRV) (US: ranked-choice voting (RCV), AU: preferential voting, UK: alternative vote) is a single-winner, multi-round elimination rule that uses ranked voting to simulate a series of runoffs with only one vote. In each round, the candidate with the fewest votes counting towards them is eliminated, and the votes are ...
