61Claw-free graph — A claw In graph theory, an area of mathematics, a claw free graph is a graph that does not have a claw as an induced subgraph. A claw is another name for the complete bipartite graph K1,3 (that is, a star graph with three edges, three leaves, and …
62Quantitative comparative linguistics — is a branch of comparative linguistics that applies mathematical models to the problem of classifying language relatedness. This includes the use of computational phylogenetics and cladistics to define an optimal tree (or network) to represent a… …

64Optimization (computer science) — In computing, optimization is the process of modifying a system to make some aspect of it work more efficiently or use fewer resources. For instance, a computer program may be optimized so that it executes more rapidly, or is capable of operating …
65Combinatorial optimization — In applied mathematics and theoretical computer science, combinatorial optimization is a topic that consists of finding an optimal object from a finite set of objects.[1] In many such problems, exhaustive search is not feasible. It operates on… …
66Information-based complexity — (IBC) studies optimal algorithms and computational complexity for the continuous problems which arise in physical science, economics, engineering, and mathematical finance. IBC has studied such continuous problems as path integration, partial… …
67Program optimization — For algorithms to solve other optimization problems, see Optimization (mathematics). In computer science, program optimization or software optimization is the process of modifying a software system to make some aspect of it work more efficiently… …
68Six degrees of separation — For other uses, see Six degrees (disambiguation). Six degrees of separation. Six degrees of separation refers to the idea that everyone is on average approximately six steps away, by way of introduction, from any other person on Earth, so that a… …
69Metaheuristic — In computer science, metaheuristic designates a computational method that optimizes a problem by iteratively trying to improve a candidate solution with regard to a given measure of quality. Metaheuristics make few or no assumptions about the… …
70Simulated annealing — (SA) is a generic probabilistic meta algorithm for the global optimization problem, namely locating a good approximation to the global optimum of a given function in a large search space. It is often used when the search space is discrete (e.g.,… …
