  2. Continuous-time random walk - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuous-time_random_walk

    In mathematics, a continuous-time random walk (CTRW) is a generalization of a random walk where the wandering particle waits for a random time between jumps. It is a stochastic jump process with arbitrary distributions of jump lengths and waiting times. [1] [2] [3] More generally it can be seen to be a special case of a Markov renewal process.

  3. Jump search - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jump_search

    In computer science, a jump search or block search refers to a search algorithm for ordered lists. It works by first checking all items L km , where k ∈ N {\displaystyle k\in \mathbb {N} } and m is the block size, until an item is found that is larger than the search key .

  4. Random walk - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_walk

    An elementary example of a random walk is the random walk on the integer number line which starts at 0, and at each step moves +1 or −1 with equal probability. Other examples include the path traced by a molecule as it travels in a liquid or a gas (see Brownian motion ), the search path of a foraging animal, or the price of a fluctuating ...

  5. Step detection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Step_detection

    The term ‖ ‖ = # {: +} penalizes the number of jumps and the term ‖ ‖ = = | | measures fidelity to data x. The parameter γ > 0 controls the tradeoff between regularity and data fidelity . Since the minimizer u ∗ {\displaystyle u^{*}} is piecewise constant the steps are given by the non-zero locations of the gradient ∇ u ∗ ...

  6. Branch predictor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Branch_predictor

    A conditional jump in the bottom of a loop that repeats N times will be taken N-1 times and then not taken once. If the conditional jump is placed at the top of the loop, it will be not taken N-1 times and then taken once. A conditional jump that goes many times one way and then the other way once is detected as having loop behavior.

  7. Jump process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jump_process

    A jump process is a type of stochastic process that has discrete movements, called jumps, with random arrival times, rather than continuous movement, typically modelled as a simple or compound Poisson process.

  8. Lévy process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lévy_process

    In probability theory, a Lévy process, named after the French mathematician Paul Lévy, is a stochastic process with independent, stationary increments: it represents the motion of a point whose successive displacements are random, in which displacements in pairwise disjoint time intervals are independent, and displacements in different time intervals of the same length have identical ...

  9. Jumping line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jumping_line

    In mathematics, a jumping line or exceptional line of a vector bundle over projective space is a projective line in projective space where the vector bundle has exceptional behavior, in other words the structure of its restriction to the line "jumps". Jumping lines were introduced by R. L. E. Schwarzenberger in 1961. [1] [2] The jumping lines ...
