  2. Maximum subarray problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_subarray_problem

    In this case, the array from which samples are taken is [2, 3, -1, -20, 5, 10]. In computer science, the maximum sum subarray problem, also known as the maximum segment sum problem, is the task of finding a contiguous subarray with the largest sum, within a given one-dimensional array A[1...n] of numbers.

  3. List update problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_update_problem

    Consider a list (a,b,c) where a is at the head of the list, and a request sequence c,b,c,b. An optimal offline algorithm using only free exchanges would cost 9 (3+3+2+1), whereas an optimal offline algorithm using only paid exchanges would cost 8. So, we cannot get away with just using free transpositions for the optimum offline algorithm. The ...

  4. List ranking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_ranking

    The list ranking problem was posed by Wyllie (1979), who solved it with a parallel algorithm using logarithmic time and O(n log n) total steps (that is, O(n) processors).). Over a sequence of many subsequent papers, this was eventually improved to linearly many steps (O(n/log n) processors), on the most restrictive model of synchronous shared-memory parallel computation, the exclusive read ...

  5. Largest differencing method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Largest_differencing_method

    The input to the algorithm is a set S of numbers, and a parameter k. The required output is a partition of S into k subsets, such that the sums in the subsets are as nearly equal as possible. The main steps of the algorithm are: Order the numbers from large to small. Replace the largest and second-largest numbers by their difference.

  6. List of algorithms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_algorithms

    An algorithm is fundamentally a set of rules or defined procedures that is typically designed and used to solve a specific problem or a broad set of problems.. Broadly, algorithms define process(es), sets of rules, or methodologies that are to be followed in calculations, data processing, data mining, pattern recognition, automated reasoning or other problem-solving operations.

    Algorithm LargestNumber Input: A list of numbers L. Output: The largest number in the list L. if L.size = 0 return null largest ← L[0] for each item in L, do if item > largest, then largest ← item return largest "←" denotes assignment. For instance, "largest ← item" means that the value of largest changes to the value of item.

  8. Bubble sort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bubble_sort

    The earliest description of the bubble sort algorithm was in a 1956 paper by mathematician and actuary Edward Harry Friend, [4] Sorting on electronic computer systems, [5] published in the third issue of the third volume of the Journal of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), as a "Sorting exchange algorithm".

  9. Busy beaver - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Busy_beaver

    [3] Turing machines consist of an infinite tape, and a finite set of states which serve as the program's "source code". Producing the most output is defined as writing the largest number of 1s on the tape, also referred to as achieving the highest score, and running for the longest time is defined as taking the longest number of steps to halt.
