- genetic algorithmA search heuristic that is based on biological evolution.
- Grover's algorithmA quantum algorithm that finds with high probability the unique input to a black-box function that produces a particular output value.
- Euclidean algorithmAny of certain algorithms first described in Euclid's Elements.
- Algorithm XA recursive, nondeterministic, depth-first backtracking algorithm for solving the decision problem of whether an exact cover exists.
- Lee algorithmA breadth-first search algorithm that finds optimal solutions for maze routing problems, used in the design of electronic components etc.
- approximation algorithmA method of finding a nearly optimal solution to an optimization problem that cannot be solved exactly within a reasonable time.
- Hungarian algorithmA combinatorial optimization algorithm that solves the assignment problem in polynomial time.
- God's algorithmAn optimal algorithm that finds the solution with the fewest moves.
- British Museum algorithmA search procedure which involves generating and checking all possible scenarios.
- diamond-square algorithmAn algorithm for generating heightmaps. It starts with a two-dimensional grid and then randomly generates terrain height from four seed values arranged in a grid of points so that the entire plane is covered in squares.
- greedy algorithmAny algorithm that follows the problem-solving heuristic of making the locally optimal choice at each stage.
- semi-algorithmA step-by-step procedure, like an algorithm, but which is not guaranteed to halt on all inputs.
- Gibbs algorithmA criterion for choosing a probability distribution for the statistical ensemble of microstates of a thermodynamic system by minimizing the average log probability ⟨ ln p_i⟩=∑ᵢp_i ln p_i,, subject to the probability distribution pᵢ …
- Davis-Putnam algorithmAn algorithm for checking the validity of a first-order logic formula using a resolution-based decision procedure for propositional logic.
- Cohen-Sutherland algorithmAn algorithm used for line clipping. It divides a two-dimensional space into nine regions (or a three-dimensional space into 27 regions), and then efficiently determines the lines and portions of lines that are visible in the central …
- Metropolis-Hastings algorithmA Markov chain Monte Carlo method for obtaining a sequence of random samples from a probability distribution from which direct sampling is difficult.
- doomsday algorithmSynonym of doomsday rule: An algorithm for determining the weekday on which a given date falls, based on certain easily-remembered dates called "doomsdays".
- Warnock algorithmAn algorithm that solves the problem of rendering a complicated image by recursive subdivision of a scene until areas are obtained that are trivial to compute.
- Baum-Welch algorithmAn algorithm used to find the unknown parameters of a hidden Markov model.
- Viterbi algorithmA dynamic programming algorithm for finding the most likely sequence of hidden states (the Viterbi path) that results in a sequence of observed events.
- Day-Stout-Warren algorithmA method for efficiently balancing a binary search tree.
- Lanczos algorithmAn iterative algorithm that is an adaptation of power methods to find the most useful eigenvalues and eigenvectors of an nth-order linear system with a limited number of operations, m, where m is much smaller than n.
- DJP algorithmSynonym of Prim's algorithm: A greedy algorithm that finds a minimum spanning tree for a weighted undirected graph.
- Quine-McCluskey algorithmA method for minimization of Boolean functions, functionally identical to Karnaugh mapping, but having a tabular form that is more efficient in computer algorithms. It is based on finding prime implicants.
- Kahan summation algorithmAn algorithm that significantly reduces the numerical error in the total obtained by adding a sequence of finite-precision floating-point numbers, compared to the obvious approach, by tracking the accumulated small errors in a separate …
