then the search for the maximum at any one stage will require a number of operations of order Af ( where a is some number not unreasonably large ).

If, however, we are seeking the optimal R-stage policy for a given feed state, only one search for a maximum is required at the final step.

Over the years the search for the point of maximum depth has involved many vessels.

Later versions of Kazaa Lite included K ++, a memory patcher that removed search limit restrictions, and set one's " participation level " to the maximum of 1000.

; sizeLimit, timeLimit: Maximum number of entries to return, and maximum time to allow search to run.

If the brightness of the object exceeded the maximum limit of eight times the brightness of Canopus, the spacecraft would search for a new star.

In 1953 J. Kiefer devised Fibonacci search which can be used to find the maximum of a unimodal function and has many other applications in computer science.

* AN / APS-116 sea search radar, maximum range 150 nmi ( 173 mi, 278 km )

** Phobos-a tandem repeat search tool for perfect and imperfect repeats-the maximum pattern size depends only on computational power

The return of the British force to Boston following the search operations at Concord was subject to constant skirmishing, using partisan forces gathered from communities all along the route, making maximum use of the terrain ( particularly trees and stone field walls ) to overcome the limitations of their weapons-muskets with an effective range of only about 50 – 70 metres.

This evaluation continues until a certain maximum search depth or the program determines that a final " leaf " position has been reached ( e. g. checkmate ).

For graphs of maximum degree three, a careful backtracking search can find a Hamiltonian cycle ( if one exists ) in time O ( 1. 251 < sup > n </ sup >).

The batsman may keep running indefinitely, but more often a maximum number of runs would be agreed upon before he helps search, or he may join in the search immediately.

With an ( average or constant ) branching factor of b, and a search depth of d plies, the maximum number of leaf node positions evaluated ( when the move ordering is pessimal ) is O ( b * b *...* b ) = O ( b < sup > d </ sup >) – the same as a simple minimax search.

Most biomedical gerontologists ( gerontologists who search for ways to extend maximum life span ) believe that biomedical molecular engineering will eventually extend maximum lifespan and even bring about rejuvenation.

We can define the Residual Graph, which provides a systematic way to search for forward-backward operations in order to find the maximum flow.

The radars had a maximum search range of 110 mi ( 180 km ) for aircraft flying as high as 25, 000 ft ( 7, 600 m ).

Given estimates of the image gradients, a search is then carried out to determine if the gradient magnitude assumes a local maximum in the gradient direction.

In recent years automated search efforts such as LINEAR or LONEOS have discovered so many thousands of new asteroids that the Center for Small Body Nomenclature has officially limited naming to a maximum of two names per discoverer every two months.

Although the primary venue for the campaign was the North Atlantic, Dönitz sent U-boats and surface raiders to all corners of the globe in search of the most efficient way to sink the maximum number of ships at minimum cost.

** Phobos-a tandem repeat search tool for perfect and imperfect repeats-the maximum pattern size depends only on computational power

An adversary can use multiple computers at once, for instance, to increase the speed of exhaustive search for a key ( i. e., " brute force " attack ) substantially.

A precise search area was difficult to define, as even small differences in estimates of the aircraft's speed, or the environmental conditions along the flight path ( which varied significantly by location and altitude ), changed Cooper's projected landing point considerably.

To speed up the detection process, the New Horizons team established Ice Hunters, a citizen science project that allowed members of the public to participate in the search for suitable KBO targets ; the project has subsequently been transferred to another site, Ice Investigators, produced by CosmoQuest.

Other algorithms can speed up a task less dramatically — for example, Grover's search algorithm which gives a quadratic speed-up over the best possible classical algorithm.

* Transposition table, used in computer games to speed up the search of the game tree

Where an exhaustive search is impractical, heuristic methods are used to speed up the process of finding a satisfactory solution.

A naive implementation of this approach can only search to a small depth in a practical amount of time, so various methods have been devised to greatly speed the search for good moves.

One way to speed up a brute-force algorithm is to reduce the search space, that is, the set of candidate solutions, by using heuristics specific to the problem class.

In computer science, sorting is one of the most extensively researched subjects because of the need to speed up the operation on thousands or millions of records during a search operation ; see sorting algorithm.

A record of one meeting held in their house is given in George Fox ’ s Journals: “ At … Frye ’ s in Wiltshire we had a very blessed meeting and quiet, though the officers had purposed to break it up by thieves, and they were required to go back again with speed, to search after and pursure them ; by which our meeting escaped disturbance and we were preserved our of their hands .” However, meetings of more than five persons were forbidden by the Conventicle Act, and once arrested Quakers would be orders to take the oath of allegiance, which they refused to do taking the command ‘ Swear not at all ’ literally.

Initially, Sony was able to tout several Betamax-only features, such as BetaScan — a high speed picture search in either direction — and BetaSkipScan, a technique that allowed the operator to see where he was on the tape by pressing the FF key ( or REW, if in that mode ): the transport would switch into the BetaScan mode until the key was released.

A signal from Cradock was received by Churchill on 27 October, advising his intention to leave Canopus behind, because of her slow speed, and as previously instructed to take his remaining ships in search of Spee.

There are several techniques, which can greatly improve the performance of search trees in terms of both speed and memory.

In computer chess and other computer games, transposition tables are used to speed up the search of the game tree.

To achieve a different balance between speed, memory size and cost, some implementations emulate the function of CAM by using standard tree search or hashing designs in hardware, using hardware tricks like replication or pipelining to speed up effective performance.

For small ranges, this can be amongst the fastest lookup, even exceeding binary search speed with zero branches and executing in constant time.

However, technologies to speed up the Smith-Waterman process have been found to improve the time necessary to perform a search dramatically.

Still other experiments have explored nature of stimulus factors that affect the speed and accuracy of visual search.

The strength of the program comes more from its positional algorithms than from its search speed.

This meant that the new version could also be directly guided against surface targets that would otherwise not show up well on radar ( which is a function of relative speed ), allowing the ship's more powerful search radars to provide guidance until the missile approached the target and the reflected signal grew stronger.

Several methods were proposed by researchers to speed up convergence, like interactive constrain evolutionary search ( user intervention ) or fitting user preferences using a convex function ( Takagi, 2001 ).
