The algorithm was independently discovered as described in "Algorithms for Approximate String Matching", E. Ukkonen, `Information and Control' Vol. 64, 1985, pp. 100-118. Reading the papers then looking at the source code for an implementation should be …

Aug 26, 2008 · How do I calculate the distance between two points specified by latitude and longitude? For clarification, I'd like the distance in kilometers; the points use the WGS84 system and I'd like to unde...

Feb 25, 2010 · An algorithm is the description of an automated solution to a problem. What the algorithm does is precisely defined. The solution could or could not be the best possible one but you know from the start what kind of result you will get. You implement the algorithm using some programming language to get (a part of) a program. Now, some problems are hard and you …

Sep 1, 2009 · Algorithm A can't tell the difference between two similar inputs instances where only x 's value changes. If x is the minimum in one of these instances and not in the other, then A will fail to find the minimum on (at least) one of these two instances. In other words, finding the minimum in an array is in not in o(n) and is therefore in 𝛺(n).

I've built a Java program as a front end for a database on a server, and I'm trying to use SSL to encrypt traffic between clients and the server. Here is the command I issued to create the server

Dec 30, 2008 · A friend was in need of an algorithm that would let him loop through the elements of an NxM matrix (N and M are odd). I came up with a solution, but I wanted to see if my fellow SO'ers could come u...

Apr 26, 2017 · The brute force algorithm above is terribly inefficient and in addition to that generates multiple copies of the cycles. It is however the starting point of multiple practical algorithms which apply various enhancements in order to …

Sep 4, 2008 · I'm looking for a simple algorithm to generate a large number of random, aesthetically pleasing colors. So no crazy neon colors, colors reminiscent of feces, etc. I've found solutions to this pro...

Nov 30, 2010 · Could someone explain the difference between polynomial-time, non-polynomial-time, and exponential-time algorithms? For example, if an algorithm takes O(n^2) time, then which category is it in?
