  2. Abstract data type - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abstract_data_type

    An abstract stack is a last-in-first-out structure, It is generally defined by three key operations: push, that inserts a data item onto the stack; pop, that removes a data item from it; and peek or top, that accesses a data item on top of the stack without removal.

  3. List of NP-complete problems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_NP-complete_problems

    Route inspection problem (also called Chinese postman problem) for mixed graphs (having both directed and undirected edges). The program is solvable in polynomial time if the graph has all undirected or all directed edges. Variants include the rural postman problem. [3]: ND25, ND27 Clique cover problem [2] [3]: GT17 Clique problem [2] [3]: GT19

  4. Linear probing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_probing

    Linear probing is a component of open addressing schemes for using a hash table to solve the dictionary problem.In the dictionary problem, a data structure should maintain a collection of key–value pairs subject to operations that insert or delete pairs from the collection or that search for the value associated with a given key.

  5. Travelling salesman problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Travelling_salesman_problem

    Another related problem is the bottleneck travelling salesman problem: Find a Hamiltonian cycle in a weighted graph with the minimal weight of the weightiest edge. A real-world example is avoiding narrow streets with big buses. [15] The problem is of considerable practical importance, apart from evident transportation and logistics areas.

  6. NP-completeness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NP-completeness

    There is often only a small difference between a problem in P and an NP-complete problem. For example, the 3-satisfiability problem, a restriction of the Boolean satisfiability problem, remains NP-complete, whereas the slightly more restricted 2-satisfiability problem is in P (specifically, it is NL-complete), but the slightly more general max ...

  7. Transposition cipher - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transposition_cipher

    The length of the grid's last line is given by the remainder. The key is written above the grid, and the ciphertext is written down the columns of the grid in the order given by the letters of the key. The plaintext appears on the rows. A partial decipherment of the above ciphertext, after writing in the first column: 6 3 2 4 1 5 . . . . E ...

  8. Metric k-center - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metric_k-center

    In graph theory, the metric k-center problem or vertex k-center problem is a classical combinatorial optimization problem studied in theoretical computer science that is NP-hard. Given n cities with specified distances, one wants to build k warehouses in different cities and minimize the maximum distance of a city to a warehouse.

  9. Dutch national flag problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_national_flag_problem

    The Dutch national flag problem [1] is a computational problem proposed by Edsger Dijkstra. [2] The flag of the Netherlands consists of three colors: red, white, and blue. Given balls of these three colors arranged randomly in a line (it does not matter how many balls there are), the task is to arrange them such that all balls of the same color ...
