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. ...
An algorithm to find the day of the week for any date. It is simple enough to memorize and do mentally.
Industry:Computer science
An algorithm to find the greatest common divisor, g, of two positive integers, a and b, and coefficients, h and j, such that g = ha + jb.
Industry:Computer science
An algorithm to find the mode, or most frequently occurring value, in a group of elements.
Industry:Computer science
An algorithm to find the shortest paths from a single source vertex to all other vertices in a weighted, directed graph. All weights must be nonnegative.
Industry:Computer science
An algorithm to insert a new node into a shadow heap. The new node is placed in the unordered table. When the table grows beyond some threshold size, table nodes and all their parents are reordered so everything is a heap.
Industry:Computer science
An algorithm to merge two heaps by concatenating the smaller heap to the larger, then reordering just the concatenated nodes and their parents to restore the heap property.
Industry:Computer science
An algorithm to produce a sequence of insert and copy commands (an edit script) which creates a new version file from a reference file. To begin, hash every block of the reference file and store every hash in a hash value array. Build a suffix array and three other data structures for quick access. Beginning at the first location in the version file, hash a block and look for the longest match in the reference file. Upon a match, encode an insert back to the previous match and a copy of the match. If no match, look at the next location. At the end, encode an insert for remaining unmatched characters.
Industry:Computer science
An algorithm to select the k<sup>th</sup> smallest element of an array and partition the array around it. First, partition around the value of the k<sup>th</sup> element. If the split is not at element k, move the upper or lower boundary and partition again.
Industry:Computer science
An algorithm to solve an optimization problem that runs in polynomial time in the length of the input and outputs a solution that is guaranteed to be close to the optimal solution. "Close" has some well-defined sense called the performance guarantee.
Industry:Computer science
An algorithm to solve the all pairs shortest path problem in a sparse weighted, directed graph. First, it adds a new node with zero weight edges from it to all other nodes, and runs the Bellman-Ford algorithm to check for negative weight cycles and find h(v), the least weight of a path from the new node to node v. Next it reweights the edges using the nodes' h(v) values. Finally for each node, it runs Dijkstra's algorithm and stores the computed least weight to other nodes, reweighted using the nodes' h(v) values, as the final weight. The time complexity is O(V²log V + VE).
