Complexity
71New Complexity — In music, the New Complexity is a term dating from the 1980s, principally applied to composers seeking a complex, multi layered interplay of evolutionary processes occurring simultaneously within every dimension of the musical material (Fox 2001) …
72Computational complexity of mathematical operations — The following tables list the running time of various algorithms for common mathematical operations. Here, complexity refers to the time complexity of performing computations on a multitape Turing machine.[1] See big O notation for an explanation …
73Circuit complexity — In theoretical computer science, circuit complexity is a branch of computational complexity theory in which Boolean functions are classified according to the size or depth of Boolean circuits that compute them. A Boolean circuit with n input bits …
74Evolution of complexity — The evolution of complexity is an important outcome of the process of evolution. Evolution has produced some remarkably complex organisms although this feature is hard to measure accurately in biology, with properties such as gene content, the… …
75Context of computational complexity — In computational complexity theory and analysis of algorithms, a number of metrics are defined describing the resources, such as time or space, that a machine needs to solve a particular problem. Interpreting these metrics meaningfully requires… …
76Programming Complexity — Programming Complexity, which is often also referred to as Software Complexity is a term that encompasses numerous properties of a piece of software, all of which affect internal interactions. According to several commentators, including… …
77Proof complexity — In computer science, proof complexity is a measure of efficiency of automated theorem proving methods that is based on the size of the proofs they produce. The methods for proving contradiction in propositional logic are the most analyzed. The… …
78Nelson complexity index — The Nelson complexity index was developed by Wilbur L. Nelson in a series of articles in Oil Gas Journal in 1960 61 (Mar. 14, p. 189; Sept. 26, p. 216; and June 19, p. 109). In 1976, he elaborated on the concept in another series… …
79Descriptional Complexity of Formal Systems — Abbreviation DCFS Discipline Automata theory and formal languages Publication details Publisher Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science (International) History 1999– …
80Descriptive complexity theory — For other uses, see Kolmogorov complexity. Descriptive complexity is a branch of computational complexity theory and of finite model theory that characterizes complexity classes by the type of logic needed to express the languages in them. For… …
