In computability theory, computational complexity theory and proof theory, a fast-growing hierarchy (also called an extended Grzegorczyk hierarchy, or a Schwichtenberg-Wainer hierarchy) [1] is an ordinal-indexed family of rapidly increasing functions f α: N → N (where N is the set of natural numbers {0, 1, ...}, and α ranges up to some large countable ordinal).
The actual values are only computed when needed. For example, one could create a function that creates an infinite list (often called a stream) of Fibonacci numbers. The calculation of the n-th Fibonacci number would be merely the extraction of that element from the infinite list, forcing the evaluation of only the first n members of the list.
The NIST Dictionary of Algorithms and Data Structures [1] is a reference work maintained by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology.It defines a large number of terms relating to algorithms and data structures.
The Z-ordering can be used to efficiently build a quadtree (2D) or octree (3D) for a set of points. [4] [5] The basic idea is to sort the input set according to Z-order.Once sorted, the points can either be stored in a binary search tree and used directly, which is called a linear quadtree, [6] or they can be used to build a pointer based quadtree.
Order theory is a branch of mathematics that studies various kinds of objects (often binary relations) that capture the intuitive notion of ordering, providing a framework for saying when one thing is "less than" or "precedes" another. An alphabetical list of many notions of order theory can be found in the order theory glossary.
Ed Brzytwa, the CTA's vice president of international trade, said a number of the trade group's members are "front-loading 2025 imports into 2024 to get out ahead of the tariffs."
The fatal shooting of a student and a teacher at a private Christian school in Wisconsin on Monday was laden with shock, even for a nation dulled by the horror of repeated school massacres.
The average home value, meanwhile, climbed to $359,099 in October, up by 2.6% annually, Zillow said. And per Freddie Mac, the rate on the 30-year fixed mortgage edged up to 6.84% last week.
