  2. Brute-force search - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brute-force_search

    In computer science, brute-force search or exhaustive search, also known as generate and test, is a very general problem-solving technique and algorithmic paradigm that consists of systematically checking all possible candidates for whether or not each candidate satisfies the problem's statement.

  3. Knuth–Morris–Pratt algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knuth–Morris–Pratt...

    A string-matching algorithm wants to find the starting index m in string S[] that matches the search word W[].. The most straightforward algorithm, known as the "brute-force" or "naive" algorithm, is to look for a word match at each index m, i.e. the position in the string being searched that corresponds to the character S[m].

  4. Divide-and-conquer algorithm - Wikipedia

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

    In computer science, divide and conquer is an algorithm design paradigm.A divide-and-conquer algorithm recursively breaks down a problem into two or more sub-problems of the same or related type, until these become simple enough to be solved directly.

  5. Algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algorithm

    Brute force can solve a variety of problems, including finding the shortest path between two points and cracking passwords. Divide and conquer A divide-and-conquer algorithm repeatedly reduces a problem to one or more smaller instances of itself (usually recursively ) until the instances are small enough to solve easily.

  7. Brute-force attack - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brute-force_attack

    A brute-force attack is a cryptanalytic attack that can, in theory, be used to attempt to decrypt any encrypted data (except for data encrypted in an information-theoretically secure manner). [1] Such an attack might be used when it is not possible to take advantage of other weaknesses in an encryption system (if any exist) that would make the ...

  8. Proof by exhaustion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proof_by_exhaustion

    Proof by exhaustion, also known as proof by cases, proof by case analysis, complete induction or the brute force method, is a method of mathematical proof in which the statement to be proved is split into a finite number of cases or sets of equivalent cases, and where each type of case is checked to see if the proposition in question holds. [1]

  9. Clique problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clique_problem

    The brute force algorithm finds a 4-clique in this 7-vertex graph (the complement of the 7-vertex path graph) by systematically checking all C(7,4) = 35 4-vertex subgraphs for completeness. In computer science , the clique problem is the computational problem of finding cliques (subsets of vertices, all adjacent to each other, also called ...
