WordDefinition
randomized algorithmnoun(mathematics) Any algorithm that uses randomness as part of its logic.
probabilistically checkable proofnoun(computing theory) A reasonable proof of a computational theorem or conjecture obtained via a randomized algorithm.
approximation algorithmnoun(computing) A method of finding a nearly optimal solution to an optimization problem that cannot be solved exactly within a reasonable time.
random functionnoun(computing) A function that returns a random or pseudo-random value that is distributed according to a specific probability distribution associated with the function.
monte carlo fallacynounThe fallacy, most often believed by gamblers, that a past random event influences the outcome of a future random event, that is, that a run of even numbers at roulette means that there is a greater chance of an odd number next time.
grover's algorithmnoun(computing theory) A quantum algorithm that finds with high probability the unique input to a black-box function that produces a particular output value.
greedy algorithmnounAny algorithm that follows the problem-solving heuristic of making the locally optimal choice at each stage.
sattolo's algorithmnoun(computing) A variant of the Fisher-Yates shuffle that generates uniformly distributed cycles of some maximal length n, rather than permutations of the entire sequence.
polyalgorithmnoun(mathematics, computing) A set of algorithms together with rules for choosing when to use each one.
ziggurat algorithmnoun(statistics) An algorithm for pseudorandom number sampling, relying on an underlying source of uniformly-distributed random numbers as well as computed tables.
monte carlo methodnoun(mathematics, statistics) Any of a class of techniques for estimating the solution of a numerical mathematical problem by means of a random artificial sampling experiment that simulates the problem.
fisher-yates shufflenoun(computing) A particular algorithm for generating an unbiased random permutation of a set. It selects elements randomly from the initial set until none remain.
statistical randomnessnounInformally, the property of a numeric sequence of containing no recognizable patterns or regularities; exemplified in the results of an ideal die roll, or the digits of π (as far as we can tell).
algorithmnoun(countable) A collection of ordered steps that solve a mathematical problem. A precise step-by-step plan for a computational procedure that possibly begins with an input value and yields an output value in a finite number of steps.
random numbernounA number allotted randomly using suitable generator (electronic machine or as simple "generator" as die).
algorismnoun(uncountable, historical) Calculation with Arabic numerals.
strassen algorithmnoun(computing theory) An algorithm for matrix multiplication.
law of averagesnoun(statistics) The statistical tendency toward a fixed proportion in the results when an experiment is repeated a large number of times; the law of large numbers.
god's algorithmnoun(combination puzzles) An optimal algorithm that finds the solution with the fewest moves.
random sequencenoun(statistics, probability theory) A sequence of identically distributed random variables.
