  2. Order (group theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_(group_theory)

    The consequences of the theorem include: the order of a group G is a power of a prime p if and only if ord(a) is some power of p for every a in G. [2] If a has infinite order, then all non-zero powers of a have infinite order as well. If a has finite order, we have the following formula for the order of the powers of a: ord(a k) = ord(a) / gcd ...

  3. Sorting algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sorting_algorithm

    One implementation can be described as arranging the data sequence in a two-dimensional array and then sorting the columns of the array using insertion sort. The worst-case time complexity of Shellsort is an open problem and depends on the gap sequence used, with known complexities ranging from O(n 2) to O(n 4/3) and Θ(n log 2 n).

  4. Multiplicative group of integers modulo n - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiplicative_group_of...

    The order of the group () is the product of the orders of the cyclic groups in the direct product. The exponent of the group, that is, the least common multiple of the orders in the cyclic groups, is given by the Carmichael function λ ( n ) {\displaystyle \lambda (n)} (sequence A002322 in the OEIS ).

  5. Partially ordered set - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partially_ordered_set

    Given a set and a partial order relation, typically the non-strict partial order , we may uniquely extend our notation to define four partial order relations , <,, and >, where is a non-strict partial order relation on , < is the associated strict partial order relation on (the irreflexive kernel of ), is the dual of , and > is the dual of <.

  6. Timsort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timsort

    Timsort is a stable sorting algorithm (order of elements with same key is kept) and strives to perform balanced merges (a merge thus merges runs of similar sizes). In order to achieve sorting stability, only consecutive runs are merged. Between two non-consecutive runs, there can be an element with the same key inside the runs.

  7. Monotonic function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monotonic_function

    In mathematics, a monotonic function (or monotone function) is a function between ordered sets that preserves or reverses the given order. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] This concept first arose in calculus , and was later generalized to the more abstract setting of order theory .

  8. Order theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_theory

    The converse of this implication leads to functions that are order-reflecting, i.e. functions f as above for which f(a) ≤ f(b) implies a ≤ b. On the other hand, a function may also be order-reversing or antitone, if a ≤ b implies f(a) ≥ f(b). An order-embedding is a function f between orders that is both order-preserving and order ...

  9. Row- and column-major order - Wikipedia

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

    Even though the row is indicated by the first index and the column by the second index, no grouping order between the dimensions is implied by this. The choice of how to group and order the indices, either by row-major or column-major methods, is thus a matter of convention. The same terminology can be applied to even higher dimensional arrays.
