  2. Monoculture (computer science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monoculture_(computer_science)

    In other words - regardless of the accuracy of the human rankers there exists a more accurate algorithm whose introduction leads to suboptimal monoculture convergence. The implications of this theorem is that under these conditions, firms will choose to use the algorithmic ranking even though that the correlated nature of algorithmic ...

  3. Contract failure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contract_failure

    When contract failure occurs, there is a suboptimal provision of public goods, which results in market failure. [11] Arrow argues that nonprofits will step in and provide the necessary good or service in response to market failure. [10] When markets potentially take advantage of the information asymmetry situation, nonprofits must protect the ...

  4. Duality (optimization) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duality_(optimization)

    This alternative "duality gap" quantifies the discrepancy between the value of a current feasible but suboptimal iterate for the primal problem and the value of the dual problem; the value of the dual problem is, under regularity conditions, equal to the value of the convex relaxation of the primal problem: The convex relaxation is the problem ...

  5. Compromise - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compromise

    Research indicates that suboptimal compromises are often the result of negotiators failing to realize when they have interests that are completely compatible with those of the other party, leading them to settle for suboptimal agreements.

  6. Pareto efficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pareto_efficiency

    In a free market, market failure is defined as an inefficient allocation of resources. Due to the fact that it is feasible to improve, market failure implies Pareto inefficiency. For example, excessive consumption of depreciating items (drugs/tobacco) results in external costs to non-smokers, as well as premature death for smokers who do not quit.

  7. NP (complexity) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NP_(complexity)

    A non-deterministic machine can simply nondeterministically run the verifier on all possible proof strings (this requires only polynomially many steps because it can nondeterministically choose the next character in the proof string in each step, and the length of the proof string must be polynomially bounded).

  8. Almost surely - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Almost_surely

    In probability experiments on a finite sample space with a non-zero probability for each outcome, there is no difference between almost surely and surely (since having a probability of 1 entails including all the sample points); however, this distinction becomes important when the sample space is an infinite set, [2] because an infinite set can ...

  9. Premature convergence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Premature_convergence

    This is for non-convex objective functions with sets that include bounded lower levels of non-zero measurements. A study by Rudolph suggests that self-adaption mechanisms among elitist evolution strategies do resemble the 1/5-success rule, and could very well get caught by a local optimum that include a positive probability.
