  2. Nirvana fallacy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nirvana_fallacy

    It can also refer to the tendency to assume there is a perfect solution to a particular problem. A closely related concept is the "perfect solution fallacy". By creating a false dichotomy that presents one option which is obviously advantageous—while at the same time being completely unrealistic—a person using the nirvana fallacy can attack ...

  3. Hamming bound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamming_bound

    In 1973, Tietäväinen proved [1] that any non-trivial perfect code over a prime-power alphabet has the parameters of a Hamming code or a Golay code. A perfect code may be interpreted as one in which the balls of Hamming radius t centered on codewords exactly fill out the space (t is the covering radius = packing radius). A quasi-perfect code ...

  4. Linear code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_code

    Linear block codes are frequently denoted as [n, k, d] codes, where d refers to the code's minimum Hamming distance between any two code words. (The [n, k, d] notation should not be confused with the (n, M, d) notation used to denote a non-linear code of length n, size M (i.e., having M code words), and minimum Hamming distance d.)

  5. Embarrassingly parallel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embarrassingly_parallel

    "Embarrassingly" is used here to refer to parallelization problems which are "embarrassingly easy". [4] The term may imply embarrassment on the part of developers or compilers: "Because so many important problems remain unsolved mainly due to their intrinsic computational complexity, it would be embarrassing not to develop parallel implementations of polynomial homotopy continuation methods."

  6. Stable marriage problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stable_marriage_problem

    Algorithms for finding solutions to the stable marriage problem have applications in a variety of real-world situations, perhaps the best known of these being in the assignment of graduating medical students to their first hospital appointments. [1]

    Three men accused Sean “Diddy” Combs of rape and sexual assault in separate lawsuits filed Thursday that allege the rap impresario plied them with doctored drinks and then attacked them while ...

    Heavy machinery is seen Thursday at the site of a massive sinkhole that formed off Interstate 80 in New Jersey, just west of New York City, as crews evaluate the depression to design a repair.

  9. Coding theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coding_theory

    But at certain dimensions, the packing uses all the space and these codes are the so-called "perfect" codes. The only nontrivial and useful perfect codes are the distance-3 Hamming codes with parameters satisfying (2 r – 1, 2 r – 1 – r, 3), and the [23,12,7] binary and [11,6,5] ternary Golay codes. [4] [5] Another code property is the ...
