The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) — known between 1901 and 1988 as the National Bureau of Standards (NBS) — is a measurement standards laboratory and a non-regulatory agency of the United States Department of Commerce. The institute's official mission is to promote U.S. ...
A set S<sub>2</sub> is a proper subset of another set S<sub>1</sub> if every element in S<sub>2</sub> is in S<sub>1</sub> and S<sub>1</sub> has some elements which are not in S<sub>2</sub>.
Industry:Computer science
A set the elements of which are subject to a partial order.
Industry:Computer science
A set whose members do not overlap, are not duplicated, etc. For example, the set of intervals ((1,5), (4,7), (8,9)) is not disjoint since (1,5) overlaps (4,7).
Industry:Computer science
A shared memory model of computation, where typically the processors all execute the same instruction synchronously, and access to any memory location occurs in unit time.
Industry:Computer science
A simple path through a graph that includes every vertex in the graph.
Industry:Computer science
A solution to a problem that is better than all other solutions that are slightly different, but worse than the global optimum.
Industry:Computer science
A solution to an optimization problem which minimizes (or maximizes) the objective function.
Industry:Computer science
A sort algorithm in which the sorted items occupy the same storage as the original ones. These algorithms may use o(n) additional memory for bookkeeping, but at most a constant number of items are kept in auxiliary memory at any time.
