    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composite_key

    In database design, a composite key is a candidate key that consists of two or more attributes, [1] [2] [3] (table columns) that together uniquely identify an entity occurrence (table row).

    The exact cover problem is represented in Algorithm X by an incidence matrix A consisting of 0s and 1s. The goal is to select a subset of the rows such that the digit 1 appears in each column exactly once. Algorithm X works as follows: If the matrix A has no columns, the current partial solution is a valid solution; terminate successfully.

    Key rollover is the ability of a computer keyboard to correctly handle several simultaneous keystrokes. A keyboard with n-key rollover (NKRO) can correctly detect input from each key on the keyboard at the same time, regardless of how many other keys are also being pressed. Keyboards that lack full rollover will register an incorrect keystroke ...

  9. Covering problems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Covering_problems

    The most prominent examples of covering problems are the set cover problem, which is equivalent to the hitting set problem, and its special cases, the vertex cover problem and the edge cover problem. Covering problems allow the covering primitives to overlap; the process of covering something with non-overlapping primitives is called decomposition.
