unusual facts about Prim's algorithm


Dijkstra's algorithm

The process that underlies Dijkstra's algorithm is similar to the greedy process used in Prim's algorithm.

Other bars and restaurants were opened: the Cul-de-Sac creperie in the former Barr and Stroud factory and Bar Brel in the old coachhouse that had been used latterly as a landscape gardener's yard but was, in 1910, the chauffeur’s house and garage for Dr Marion Gilchrist’s 'prim dark green Wolseley landaulette'.

Betweenness centrality

On a sparse graph, Johnson's algorithm may be more efficient, taking Billy Milligan

Among the first ten were Arthur, a prim and proper Englishman; Allen, a manipulator; Tommy, a con-artist; Ragen Vadascovinich, a Yugoslavian communist who Milligan claimed had committed the robberies in a kind of Robin Hood spirit; and Adalana, a 19-year-old lesbian who craved affection and who had allegedly committed the rapes.

Probably near Pukapuka (Cook Islands), it met another slaver, the General Prim, which had left Callao in March.

Children of a Lesser Clod

Lisa takes gymnastics (and gets yelled at by the Russian coach for being too old), Bart gets tricked into taking an etiquette class by a black man dressed as a gangsta rapper (who happens to be the husband of the prim and proper etiquette teacher), and Homer participates in a basketball class for men over the age of 35, but suffers a torn ACL after a dunk attempt ends with the backboard crashing down on his leg.

Context of computational complexity

For example, Chan's algorithm can compute the convex hull of a set of points in O(n log h) time, where n is the number of points in the input and h is the number of points in the resulting convex hull, a subset of the input points.

Context-free language

Parser algorithms for context-free languages include the CYK algorithm and the Earley's Algorithm.

Efficient polynomial-time algorithms for the membership problem are the CYK algorithm and Earley's Algorithm.

De Boor

De Boor's algorithm, a fast and numerically stable algorithm for evaluating spline curves in B-spline form

Dekker's algorithm

It can then remove the writes to those variables from the loop, using a process called Loop-invariant code motion.

Directed acyclic graph

In contrast, for arbitrary graphs the shortest path may require slower algorithms such as Dijkstra's algorithm or the Bellman–Ford algorithm, and longest paths in arbitrary graphs are NP-hard to find.

Euclidean minimum spanning tree

The simplest algorithm to find an EMST in two dimensions, given n points, is to actually construct the complete graph on n vertices, which has n(n-1)/2 edges, compute each edge weight by finding the distance between each pair of points, and then run a standard minimum spanning tree algorithm (such as the version of Prim's algorithm or Kruskal's algorithm) on it.

Since there are O(n) edges, this requires O(n log n) time using any of the standard minimum spanning tree algorithms such as Borůvka's algorithm, Prim's algorithm, or Kruskal's algorithm.

Glossary of graph theory

Certain algorithms require further restrictions on weights; for instance, Dijkstra's algorithm works properly only for positive weights.

Gosper's algorithm

Marko Petkovšek, Herbert Wilf and Doron Zeilberger, A = B, AK Peters 1996, ISBN 1-56881-063-6.

Bill Gosper discovered this algorithm in the 1970s while working on the Macsyma computer algebra system at SAIL and MIT.

Great Catherine

Great Catherine: Whom Glory Still Adores, 1913 one-act play by George Bernard Shaw which satirically examines cultural misunderstandings and politics of intimacy surrounding prim British military attaché's appointment to court of Catherine the Great in 1776

Half Angel

Nora Gilpin (Loretta Young), a prim and proper nurse, is engaged to the stuffy Tim (John Ridgely).

Juan Bautista Topete

He sent the steamer "Buenaventura" to the Canary Islands for Serrano and the other exiles; and when Prim and Sagasta arrived from Gibraltar, the whole fleet under the influence of Topete took such an attitude that the people, garrison and authorities of Cádiz followed suit.

K-edge-connected graph

It can be further improved by Gabow's algorithm that runs in worst case O(n^3) time.

Karmarkar's algorithm

At the time he invented the algorithm, Narendra Karmarkar was employed by AT&T and they realized that his invention could be of practical importance.

Keith Marzullo

Keith Marzullo is the inventor of Marzullo's algorithm, which is part of the basis of the Network Time Protocol and the Windows Time Service.

Kosaraju

Kosaraju's algorithm, an algorithm to find the strongly connected component of a directed graph.

Kristin Prim

Prim Magazine has collaborated with designers among the likes of Jeremy Scott, Vena Cava, A.F. Vandevorst, Rad Hourani, and Ohne Titel.

Due to her popularity, Prim has become a front row fixture at New York Fashion Week, sitting front row at shows such as VPL, Nicole Miller, Rad Hourani, Cynthia Steffe, Charlotte Ronson, Moncler, Ohne Titel, Custo Barcelona, Betsey Johnson, Bill Blass, The Blonds, and so on.

Prim is due to star in upcoming Nike and Diesel campaigns with fellow "It Girl" and friend, Sky Ferreira, although her inclusion in other countless campaigns for the upcoming season has been forecasted.

Lov Grover

He is the originator of the Grover database search algorithm used in quantum computing.

Newell's algorithm

It was proposed in 1972 by brothers Martin Newell and Dick Newell, and Tom Sancha, while all three were working at CADCentre.

Rosalind Knight

In Carry On Nurse, she played Nurse Nightingale and in Carry On Teacher she played Felicity Wheeler, a prim school inspector whose amorous hopes toward Kenneth Connor's wimpy science master are continually thwarted.

Schoof

Schoof's algorithm, efficient algorithm to count points on elliptic curves over finite fields

Shakeel Ahmad

He was Minister of State in the Ministry of Communication & IT and Ministry of Home Affairs in the first Government of India headed by Dr Manmohan Singh as Prim Minister formed in 2004.

Shor's algorithm

On the television show Stargate Universe, the lead scientist, Dr. Nicholas Rush, hoped to use Shor's algorithm to crack Destinys master code.

Shor's algorithm was also a correct answer to a question in a Physics Bowl competition in the episode "The Bat Jar Conjecture" of the TV series The Big Bang Theory.

Diane (Brinke Stevens), a prim and proper college grad student, rents a spooky old house from a creepy realtor (Michael Berryman).

Theoretical computer science

While formal algorithms have existed for millennia (Euclid's algorithm for determining the greatest common divisor of two numbers is still used in computation), it was not until 1936 that Alan Turing, Alonzo Church and Stephen Kleene formalized the definition of an algorithm in terms of computation.

Torre La Sagrera

The building will be located at the end of the Rambla de Prim (Railway Triangle Sagrera Sant Andreu), giving the streets of the Via Trajan, Josep Verneda Soldevila and the way in the future Barcelona Sagrera railway station is expected to be the largest of Spain.

Visibility graph

Therefore, the Euclidean shortest path problem may be decomposed into two simpler subproblems: constructing the visibility graph, and applying a shortest path algorithm such as Dijkstra's algorithm to the graph.
