  2. Assignment problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assignment_problem

    There is also a constant s which is at most the cardinality of a maximum matching in the graph. The goal is to find a minimum-cost matching of size exactly s. The most common case is the case in which the graph admits a one-sided-perfect matching (i.e., a matching of size r), and s=r. Unbalanced assignment can be reduced to a balanced assignment.

  3. Stable marriage problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stable_marriage_problem

    In mathematics, economics, and computer science, the stable marriage problem (also stable matching problem) is the problem of finding a stable matching between two equally sized sets of elements given an ordering of preferences for each element. A matching is a bijection from the elements

  4. Matching (graph theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matching_(graph_theory)

    The following figure shows examples of maximal matchings (red) in three graphs. A maximum matching (also known as maximum-cardinality matching [2]) is a matching that contains the largest possible number of edges. There may be many maximum matchings. The matching number of a graph G is the size of a maximum matching. Every maximum matching is ...

  5. Stable roommates problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stable_roommates_problem

    In mathematics, economics and computer science, particularly in the fields of combinatorics, game theory and algorithms, the stable-roommate problem (SRP) is the problem of finding a stable matching for an even-sized set. A matching is a separation of the set into disjoint pairs ("roommates").

  6. Sorting algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sorting_algorithm

    Efficient sorting is important for optimizing the efficiency of other algorithms (such as search and merge algorithms) that require input data to be in sorted lists. Sorting is also often useful for canonicalizing data and for producing human-readable output. Formally, the output of any sorting algorithm must satisfy two conditions:

  7. List of NP-complete problems - Wikipedia

    Block Sorting [44] (Sorting by Block Moves) Sparse approximation; Variations of the Steiner tree problem. Specifically, with the discretized Euclidean metric, rectilinear metric. The problem is known to be NP-hard with the (non-discretized) Euclidean metric. [3]: ND13 Three-dimensional Ising model [45]

  8. Sorting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sorting

    For example, the items are books, the sort key is the title, subject or author, and the order is alphabetical. A new sort key can be created from two or more sort keys by lexicographical order . The first is then called the primary sort key , the second the secondary sort key , etc.

  9. Matching (statistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matching_(statistics)

    Matching is a statistical technique that evaluates the effect of a treatment by comparing the treated and the non-treated units in an observational study or quasi-experiment (i.e. when the treatment is not randomly assigned).
