  2. Effective method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effective_method

    In logic, mathematics and computer science, especially metalogic and computability theory, an effective method [1] or effective procedure is a procedure for solving a problem by any intuitively 'effective' means from a specific class. [2] An effective method is sometimes also called a mechanical method or procedure. [3]

  3. No free lunch in search and optimization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_free_lunch_in_search...

    The problem is to rapidly find a solution among candidates a, b, and c that is as good as any other, where goodness is either 0 or 1. There are eight instances ("lunch plates") fxyz of the problem, where x, y, and z indicate the goodness of a, b, and c, respectively. Procedure ("restaurant") A evaluates candidates in the order a, b, c, and B ...

  4. Divide-and-conquer algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divide-and-conquer_algorithm

    The divide-and-conquer paradigm is often used to find an optimal solution of a problem. Its basic idea is to decompose a given problem into two or more similar, but simpler, subproblems, to solve them in turn, and to compose their solutions to solve the given problem. Problems of sufficient simplicity are solved directly.

  5. Computational complexity theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computational_complexity...

    In computational complexity theory, a problem refers to the abstract question to be solved. In contrast, an instance of this problem is a rather concrete utterance, which can serve as the input for a decision problem. For example, consider the problem of primality testing. The instance is a number (e.g., 15) and the solution is "yes" if the ...

  6. Higher-order compact finite difference scheme - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Higher-order_compact...

    High-order compact finite difference schemes are used for solving third-order differential equations created during the study of obstacle boundary value problems. They have been shown to be highly accurate and efficient. They are constructed by modifying the second-order scheme that was developed by Noor and Al-Said in 2002.

  7. Linear programming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_programming

    However, some problems have distinct optimal solutions; for example, the problem of finding a feasible solution to a system of linear inequalities is a linear programming problem in which the objective function is the zero function (i.e., the constant function taking the value zero everywhere).

  9. Mathematical optimization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_optimization

    Such a formulation is called an optimization problem or a mathematical programming problem (a term not directly related to computer programming, but still in use for example in linear programming – see History below). Many real-world and theoretical problems may be modeled in this general framework. Since the following is valid:
