  Algorithm - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The first case of an algorithm written for a computer was Ada Byron's notes on the analytical engine written in 1842, for which she is considered by many to be the world's first programmer.
Algorithms are essential to the way computers process information, because a computer program is essentially an algorithm that tells the computer what specific steps to perform (in what specific order) in order to carry out a specified task, such as calculating employees’ paychecks or printing students’ report cards.
Algorithms are implemented not only as computer programs, but often also by other means, such as in a biological neural network (for example, the human brain implementing arithmetic or an insect relocating food), in electric circuits, or in a mechanical device.

 Search algorithm - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In computer science, a search algorithm, broadly speaking, is an algorithm that takes a problem as input and returns a solution to the problem, usually after evaluating a number of possible solutions.
Brute-force search or "naïve"/uninformed search algorithms use the simplest, most intuitive method of searching through the search space, whereas informed search algorithms use heuristics to apply knowledge about the structure of the search space to try to reduce the amount of time spent searching.
This is significantly better than linear search for large lists of data, but it requires that the list be sorted before searching (see sort algorithm) and also be random access.

 libstdc++: list Class Template Reference
Note that the assignment completely changes the list and that the resulting list's size is the same as the number of elements assigned.
Due to the nature of a list this operation can be done in constant time, and only invalidates iterators/references to the element being removed.
If the number is smaller than the list's current size the list is truncated, otherwise the list is extended and new elements are populated with given data.

 List of Algorithms
This single wikipedia webpage shows you a list of algorithms neatly classified into categories.
A well known algorithm has stood the test of time, if you yourself tried to figure out an algorithm to solve a well known problem, the chances are that you wouldn't get it right, or it wouldn't be as efficient as the well known algorithm.
This is quite slow and repeditive and would involve you going through the list many many times.

 Chapter 7. Using Compression Library Algorithms
The algorithm affects the data size and quality and the rate of compression and decompression, so it is important to consider how an algorithm might affect the end result and whether a particular algorithm achieves the desired effect.
Querying algorithms, rather than having hard-coded setups, makes it possible to have an algorithm-independent interface, which lets you take advantage of future algorithms as they are implemented without redesigning your code.

 Visibility II: scanline, area, list priority algorithms   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
In other words, we are maintaining a list of active polygon "spans" for the current scanline, sorted by Z. The work required to maintain this list consists of inserting spans into it in proper Z-sorted position.
At edge #4 above, when topmost polygon ABC stops, we remove its span from the list and revert to the color of the span which is then topmost on the list, DEF in this case.
Since the order of spans cannot change except at these edges (including interpenetration edges, if any), there is never a need to resort the list.

The conventional list Viterbi algorithm (LVA) produces a list of the L best output sequences over a certain block length in decoding a terminated convolutional code.
We show in this paper that the LVA with a sufficiently long list is an optimum maximum-likelihood decoder for the concatenated pair of a convolutional code and a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) block code with error detection.

 Cone-Based Clustering Heuristic for List-Scheduling Algorithms   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
List scheduling algorithms attempt to minimize latency under resource constraints using a priority list.
Based on this heuristic we have presented a new Cone-Based List Scheduling (CBLS) algorithm.
Finally, we show that CBLS with the simple priority function performs better in execution time as well as latency when compared to the original FDLS that has a relatively complex priority function.
