  2. Loop-switch sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loop-switch_sequence

    The loop-switch sequence is a specific derivative of spaghetti code. It is not necessarily an antipattern to use a switch statement within a loop—it is only considered incorrect when used to model a known sequence of steps. The most common example of the correct use of a switch within a loop is an inversion of control such as

  3. Nassi–Shneiderman diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nassi–Shneiderman_diagram

    The block usually contains a question or select case. The block provides the program with an array of choices and is often used in conjunction with sub process blocks to save space. Multiple branching blocks. Testing loops: this block allows the program to loop one or a set of processes until a particular condition is fulfilled. The process ...

  4. Schema evolution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schema_evolution

    [4] [5] Supporting schema evolution is a difficult problem involving complex mapping among schema versions and the tool support has been so far very limited. The recent theoretical advances on mapping composition [ 6 ] and mapping invertibility, [ 7 ] which represent the core problems underlying the schema evolution remains almost inaccessible ...

  5. Method cascading - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_cascading

    Cascading can be implemented in terms of chaining by having the methods return the target object (receiver, this, self).However, this requires that the method be implemented this way already – or the original object be wrapped in another object that does this – and that the method not return some other, potentially useful value (or nothing if that would be more appropriate, as in setters).

  6. Dynamical system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamical_system

    The qualitative properties of dynamical systems do not change under a smooth change of coordinates (this is sometimes taken as a definition of qualitative): a singular point of the vector field (a point where v(x) = 0) will remain a singular point under smooth transformations; a periodic orbit is a loop in phase space and smooth deformations of ...

  7. Period-doubling bifurcation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Period-doubling_bifurcation

    A period-doubling cascade is an infinite sequence of period-doubling bifurcations. Such cascades are one route by which dynamical systems can develop chaos. [ 1 ] In hydrodynamics , they are one of the possible routes to turbulence .

  8. Causal loop diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Causal_loop_diagram

    To determine if a causal loop is reinforcing or balancing, one can start with an assumption, e.g. "Variable 1 increases" and follow the loop around. The loop is: reinforcing if, after going around the loop, one ends up with the same result as the initial assumption. balancing if the result contradicts the initial assumption.

  9. Schema migration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schema_migration

    A schema migration is performed on a database whenever it is necessary to update or revert that database's schema to some newer or older version. Migrations are performed programmatically by using a schema migration tool. When invoked with a specified desired schema version, the tool automates the successive application or reversal of an ...
