  2. Closest string - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closest_string

    In theoretical computer science, the closest string is an NP-hard computational problem, [1] which tries to find the geometrical center of a set of input strings. To understand the word "center", it is necessary to define a distance between two strings. Usually, this problem is studied with the Hamming distance in mind.

  3. Approximate string matching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Approximate_string_matching

    A better solution, which was proposed by Sellers, [2] relies on dynamic programming. It uses an alternative formulation of the problem: for each position j in the text T and each position i in the pattern P , compute the minimum edit distance between the i first characters of the pattern, P i {\displaystyle P_{i}} , and any substring T j ...

  4. Range minimum query - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Range_minimum_query

    Range minimum query reduced to the lowest common ancestor problem.. Given an array A[1 … n] of n objects taken from a totally ordered set, such as integers, the range minimum query RMQ A (l,r) =arg min A[k] (with 1 ≤ l ≤ k ≤ r ≤ n) returns the position of the minimal element in the specified sub-array A[l …

  5. Smallest-circle problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smallest-circle_problem

    The solution of the subproblem is either the solution of the unconstrained problem or it is used to determine the half-plane where the unconstrained solution center is located. The n 16 {\textstyle {\frac {n}{16}}} points to be discarded are found as follows: The points P i are arranged into pairs which defines n 2 {\textstyle {\frac {n}{2 ...

  6. Stable roommates problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stable_roommates_problem

    The matching is stable if there are no two elements which are not roommates and which both prefer each other to their roommate under the matching. This is distinct from the stable-marriage problem in that the stable-roommates problem allows matches between any two elements, not just between classes of "men" and "women". It is commonly stated as:

  7. 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

  8. Clique problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clique_problem

    Two vertices are adjacent, in this graph, if the corresponding two accepting runs see the same bit values at every position they both examine. Each (valid or invalid) proof string corresponds to a clique, the set of accepting runs that see that proof string, and all maximal cliques arise in this way.

  9. Bijection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bijection

    If X and Y are finite sets, then there exists a bijection between the two sets X and Y if and only if X and Y have the same number of elements. Indeed, in axiomatic set theory , this is taken as the definition of "same number of elements" ( equinumerosity ), and generalising this definition to infinite sets leads to the concept of cardinal ...
