NP-complete — Euler diagram for P, NP, NP complete, and NP hard set of problems In computational complexity theory, the complexity class NP complete (abbreviated NP C or NPC) is a class of decision problems. A decision problem L is NP complete if it is in the… … Wikipedia
Big O notation — In mathematics, big O notation is used to describe the limiting behavior of a function when the argument tends towards a particular value or infinity, usually in terms of simpler functions. It is a member of a larger family of notations that is… … Wikipedia
Clique problem — The brute force algorithm finds a 4 clique in this 7 vertex graph (the complement of the 7 vertex path graph) by systematically checking all C(7,4)=35 4 vertex subgraphs for completeness. In computer science, the clique problem refers to any of… … Wikipedia

Binomial coefficient — The binomial coefficients can be arranged to form Pascal s triangle. In mathematics, binomial coefficients are a family of positive integers that occur as coefficients in the binomial theorem. They are indexed by two nonnegative integers; the… … Wikipedia
P = NP problem — The relationship between the complexity classes P and NP is an unsolved question in theoretical computer science. It is considered to be the most important problem in the field – the Clay Mathematics Institute has offered a $1 million US prize… … Wikipedia
Shor's algorithm — Shor s algorithm, first introduced by mathematician Peter Shor, is a quantum algorithm for integer factorization. On a quantum computer, to factor an integer N, Shor s algorithm takes polynomial time in log{N}, specifically O((log{N})^3),… … Wikipedia
Grover's algorithm — is a quantum algorithm for searching an unsorted database with N entries in O(N1/2) time and using O( log N) storage space (see big O notation). It was invented by Lov Grover in 1996.Classically, searching an unsorted database requires a linear… … Wikipedia
