An algorithm for finding the minimum value in each row of an implicitly-defined totally monotone matrix.

(Internet) An algorithm for improving the efficiency of a network by combining a number of small packets, or messages, and later sending them in a single operation.

(computer graphics) A simple rendering technique that sorts all the polygons in a scene by their depth and then paints them in that order, from farthest to closest.

(computing theory) An 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.

A pattern-matching algorithm for implementing production rule systems, used to determine which of the system's rules should fire based on its data store.

(mathematics) An iterative algorithm used to find simple approximations to functions, specifically, approximations by functions in a Chebyshev space that are the best in the uniform norm L_∞ sense.

(computing theory) A fast multiplication algorithm that reduces the multiplication of two n-digit numbers to at most n^(log ₂₃)≈n^(1.585) single-digit multiplications.

(computing theory) An algorithm for finding the contiguous subarray within a one-dimensional numeric array which has the largest sum.

A modulus-10 checksum algorithm used to validate various identification numbers, such as those on credit cards.
