  2. Data-flow diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data-flow_diagram

    The name of the warehouse is a plural noun (e.g. orders)—it derives from the input and output streams of the warehouse. The warehouse does not have to be just a data file but can also be, for example, a folder with documents, a filing cabinet, or a set of optical discs. Therefore, viewing the warehouse in a DFD is independent of implementation.

  3. Comparison sort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_sort

    if a ≤ b and b ≤ c then a ≤ c (transitivity) for all a and b, a ≤ b or b ≤ a . It is possible that both a ≤ b and b ≤ a; in this case either may come first in the sorted list. In a stable sort, the input order determines the sorted order in this case. Comparison sorts studied in the literature are "comparison-based". [1]

  4. Linked list - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linked_list

    For example, when scanning the list looking for a node with a given value x, setting the sentinel's data field to x makes it unnecessary to test for end-of-list inside the loop. Another example is the merging two sorted lists: if their sentinels have data fields set to +∞, the choice of the next output node does not need special handling for ...

  5. Sorting algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sorting_algorithm

    Merge sort. In computer science, a sorting algorithm is an algorithm that puts elements of a list into an order.The most frequently used orders are numerical order and lexicographical order, and either ascending or descending.

  6. List of mathematical series - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mathematical_series

    An infinite series of any rational function of can be reduced to a finite series of polygamma functions, by use of partial fraction decomposition, [8] as explained here. This fact can also be applied to finite series of rational functions, allowing the result to be computed in constant time even when the series contains a large number of terms.

  7. Order statistic tree - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_statistic_tree

    To turn a regular search tree into an order statistic tree, the nodes of the tree need to store one additional value, which is the size of the subtree rooted at that node (i.e., the number of nodes below it).

  8. Row- and column-major order - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Row-_and_column-major_order

    More generally, there are d! possible orders for a given array, one for each permutation of dimensions (with row-major and column-order just 2 special cases), although the lists of stride values are not necessarily permutations of each other, e.g., in the 2-by-3 example above, the strides are (3,1) for row-major and (1,2) for column-major.

  9. Order embedding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_embedding

    For a similar example using arctan to order-embed the real numbers into an interval, and the identity map for the reverse direction, see e.g. Just and Weese (1996). [2] A retract is a pair (,) of order-preserving maps whose composition is the identity.
