    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stars_and_bars_(combinatorics)

    The graphical method was used by Paul Ehrenfest and Heike Kamerlingh Onnes—with symbol ε (quantum energy element) in place of a star and the symbol 0 in place of a bar—as a simple derivation of Max Planck's expression for the number of "complexions" for a system of "resonators" of a single frequency.

    The situation, task, action, result (STAR) format is a technique [1] used by interviewers to gather all the relevant information about a specific capability that the job requires. [ citation needed ] Situation : The interviewer wants you to present a recent challenging situation in which you found yourself.

  4. Combinatorial optimization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combinatorial_optimization

    A minimum spanning tree of a weighted planar graph.Finding a minimum spanning tree is a common problem involving combinatorial optimization. Combinatorial optimization is a subfield of mathematical optimization that consists of finding an optimal object from a finite set of objects, [1] where the set of feasible solutions is discrete or can be reduced to a discrete set.

    The PARADE method. While the STAR method can offer succinct, informative answers, the PARADE method is a more detailed structure that examines the decision-making process and its broader impact in ...

  6. A* search algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A*_search_algorithm

    A* (pronounced "A-star") is a graph traversal and pathfinding algorithm that is used in many fields of computer science due to its completeness, optimality, and optimal efficiency. [1] Given a weighted graph, a source node and a goal node, the algorithm finds the shortest path (with respect to the given weights) from source to goal.

  7. Constraint programming - Wikipedia

    This typically draws upon standard methods like chronological backtracking and constraint propagation, but may use customized code like a problem-specific branching heuristic. Constraint programming takes its root from and can be expressed in the form of constraint logic programming , which embeds constraints into a logic program .

  8. Column generation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Column_generation

    The master problem is the original problem with only a subset of variables being considered. The subproblem is a new problem created to identify an improving variable (i.e. which can improve the objective function of the master problem). The algorithm then proceeds as follow: Initialise the master problem and the subproblem; Solve the master ...

  9. Heuristic (computer science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heuristic_(computer_science)

    In mathematical optimization and computer science, heuristic (from Greek εὑρίσκω "I find, discover" [1]) is a technique designed for problem solving more quickly when classic methods are too slow for finding an exact or approximate solution, or when classic methods fail to find any exact solution in a search space.
