    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_forms_of_word_play

    Caesar shift: moving all the letters in a word or sentence some fixed number of positions down the alphabet; Techniques that involve semantics and the choosing of words. Anglish: a writing using exclusively words of Germanic origin; Auto-antonym: a word that contains opposite meanings; Autogram: a sentence that provide an inventory of its own ...

  3. Word play - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Word_play

    The large character is used to make the ’N’ in Emanuel and the ‘מ’ in עמנואל. This is an example of orthographic word play. Most writers engage in word play to some extent, but certain writers are particularly committed to, or adept at, word play as a major feature of their work . Shakespeare's "quibbles" have made him a noted ...

    Theory of Computation: Formal Languages, Automata, and Complexity. Redwood City, California: Benjamin/Cummings Publishing Company, Inc. Appendix C includes impossibility of algorithms deciding if a grammar contains ambiguities, and impossibility of verifying program correctness by an algorithm as example of Halting Problem. Halava, Vesa (1997).

    For example, in his poem ‘The Axolotl’ he rhymes "axolotl" with "whaxolotl". [4] Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–89) is one of few poets who used multisyllabic rhymes to convey non-satirical subject matter. [5] An example of this is ‘The Bugler's First Communion’, [5] where he rhymes "boon he on" with "Communion".

  6. Undecidable problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Undecidable_problem

    In computability theory and computational complexity theory, an undecidable problem is a decision problem for which it is proved to be impossible to construct an algorithm that always leads to a correct yes-or-no answer. The halting problem is an example: it can be proven that there is no algorithm that correctly determines whether an arbitrary ...

  7. Combinatorial explosion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combinatorial_explosion

    One example in a game where combinatorial complexity leads to a solvability limit is in solving chess (a game with 64 squares and 32 pieces). Chess is not a solved game . In 2005 all chess game endings with six pieces or fewer were solved, showing the result of each position if played perfectly.

  8. Decision problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decision_problem

    An example of a decision problem is deciding with the help of an algorithm whether a given natural number is prime. Another example is the problem, "given two numbers x and y, does x evenly divide y?" A method for solving a decision problem, given in the form of an algorithm, is called a decision procedure for that problem.

  9. List of complexity classes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_complexity_classes

    A representation of the relation among complexity classes. This is a list of complexity classes in computational complexity theory. For other computational and complexity subjects, see list of computability and complexity topics. Many of these classes have a 'co' partner which consists of the complements of all languages in the original class ...
