Numerical stability refers to how a malformed input affects the execution of an algorithm. In a numerically stable algorithm, errors in the input lessen in significance as ...

A shuffling algorithm used in a class of random number generators.

An algorithm for computing an Egyptian fraction (Stewart 1992).

The security of a cryptosystem must not depend on keeping the cryptographic algorithm secret.

An algorithm for finding roots for quartic equations with complex roots.

The analytic summation of a hypergeometric series. Powerful general techniques of hypergeometric summation include Gosper's algorithm, Sister Celine's method, Wilf-Zeilberger ...

A ring without zero divisors in which an integer norm and an associated division algorithm (i.e., a Euclidean algorithm) can be defined. For signed integers, the usual norm ...

A specific prescription for carrying out a task or solving a problem. Also called an algorithm, method, or technique

An O(nlgn) sorting algorithm which is not quite as fast as quicksort. It is a "sort-in-place" algorithm and requires no auxiliary storage, which makes it particularly concise ...

A problem is assigned to the P (polynomial time) class if there exists at least one algorithm to solve that problem, such that the number of steps of the algorithm is bounded ...
