  2. Exponential growth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponential_growth

    Also, the effects of Moore's Law do not help the situation much because doubling processor speed merely increases the feasible problem size by a constant. E.g. if a slow processor can solve problems of size x in time t, then a processor twice as fast could only solve problems of size x + constant in the same time t. So exponentially complex ...

  3. Accelerating change - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accelerating_change

    The 'returns,' such as chip speed and cost-effectiveness, also increase exponentially. There's even exponential growth in the rate of exponential growth. Within a few decades, machine intelligence will surpass human intelligence, leading to the Singularity—technological change so rapid and profound it represents a rupture in the fabric of ...

  4. Motion graphs and derivatives - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_graphs_and_derivatives

    Since the velocity of the object is the derivative of the position graph, the area under the line in the velocity vs. time graph is the displacement of the object. (Velocity is on the y-axis and time on the x-axis. Multiplying the velocity by the time, the time cancels out, and only displacement remains.)

  5. Graph traversal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graph_traversal

    The problem of graph exploration can be seen as a variant of graph traversal. It is an online problem, meaning that the information about the graph is only revealed during the runtime of the algorithm. A common model is as follows: given a connected graph G = (V, E) with non-negative edge weights. The algorithm starts at some vertex, and knows ...

  6. Parallel single-source shortest path algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_single-source...

    A central problem in algorithmic graph theory is the shortest path problem. One of the generalizations of the shortest path problem is known as the single-source-shortest-paths (SSSP) problem, which consists of finding the shortest paths from a source vertex s {\displaystyle s} to all other vertices in the graph.

  7. Rate of convergence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rate_of_convergence

    One class of examples is the staggered geometric progressions that get closer to their limits only every other step or every several steps, for instance the example () =,, /, /, /, /, …, / ⌊ ⌋, … detailed below (where ⌊ ⌋ is the floor function applied to ). The defining Q-linear convergence limits do not exist for this sequence ...

  8. Fundamental diagram of traffic flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fundamental_diagram_of...

    The speed-density relationship is linear with a negative slope; therefore, as the density increases the speed of the roadway decreases. The line crosses the speed axis, y, at the free flow speed, and the line crosses the density axis, x, at the jam density. Here the speed approaches free flow speed as the density approaches zero.

  9. Drag curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drag_curve

    The low speed region of flight is known as the "back of the power curve" or "behind the power curve" [7] [8] (sometimes "back of the drag curve") where more thrust is required to sustain flight at lower speeds. It is an inefficient region of flight because a decrease in speed requires increased thrust and a resultant increase in fuel consumption.
