tailieunhanh - SEARCH ALGORITHMS AND APPLICATIONS

Search algorithms aim to find solutions or objects with specified properties and constraints in a large solution search space or among a collection of objects. A solution can be a set of value assignments to variables that will satisfy the constraints or a sub-structure of a given discrete structure. In addition, there are search algorithms, mostly probabilistic, that are designed for the prospective quantum computer. This book demonstrates the wide applicability of search algorithms for the purpose of developing useful and practical solutions to problems that arise in a variety of problem domains | SEARCH ALGORITHMS AND APPLICATIONS Edited by Nashat Mansour Search Algorithms and Applications Edited by Nashat Mansour Published by InTech Janeza Trdine 9 51000 Rijeka Croatia Copyright 2011 InTech All chapters are Open Access articles distributed under the Creative Commons Non Commercial Share Alike Attribution license which permits to copy distribute transmit and adapt the work in any medium so long as the original work is properly cited.
