121Criss-cross algorithm — This article is about an algorithm for mathematical optimization. For the naming of chemicals, see crisscross method. The criss cross algorithm visits all 8 corners of the Klee–Minty cube in the worst case. It visits 3 additional… …
122Travelling salesman problem — The travelling salesman problem (TSP) is an NP hard problem in combinatorial optimization studied in operations research and theoretical computer science. Given a list of cities and their pairwise distances, the task is to find a shortest… …
123Portable Network Graphics — PNG A PNG image with an 8 bit transparency channel (top). The same image is overlaid onto a checkered background (botto …
124Simulated 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.,… …
125Cuckoo search — (CS) is an optimization algorithm developed by Xin she Yang and Suash Deb in 2009.[1][2] It was inspired by the obligate brood parasitism of some cuckoo species by laying their eggs in the nests of other host birds (of other species). Some host… …
126Oriented matroid — theory allows a combinatorial approach to the max flow min cut theorem. A network with the value of flow equal to the capacity of an s t cut An oriented matroid is a mathematical structure that abstracts the properties of directed graphs and of… …
