The simplest kind of automated collation is based on the numerical codes of the symbols in a character set, such as ASCII coding ( or any of its supersets such as Unicode ), with the symbols being ordered in increasing numerical order of their codes, and this ordering being extended to strings in accordance with the basic principles of alphabetical ordering ( mathematically speaking, lexicographical ordering ).

The simplest checksum algorithm is the so-called longitudinal parity check, which breaks the data into " words " with a fixed number n of bits, and then computes the exclusive or of all those words.

The simplest, and original, implementation of the protocol uses the multiplicative group of integers modulo p, where p is prime and g is primitive root mod p. Here is an example of the protocol, with non-secret values in < span style =" color: blue "> blue </ span >, and secret values in < span style =" color: red "> boldface red </ span >:

John Dalton's original atomic hypothesis assumed that all elements were monatomic and that the atoms in compounds would normally have the simplest atomic ratios with respect to one another.

* A beacon is perhaps the simplest non-electronic digital signal, with just two states ( on and off ).

This process is one of the simplest unit operations, being equivalent to a distillation with only one equilibrium stage.

The simplest form of index is a sorted list of values that can be searched using a binary search with an adjacent reference to the location of the entry, analogous to the index in the back of a book.

The simplest form of index is a sorted list of values that can be searched using a binary search with an adjacent reference to the location of the entry, analogous to the index in the back of a book.

It is also the simplest Lissajous figure, formed when the horizontal and vertical motions are sinusoids with the same frequency.

According to this theory, living beings were classified on an ideal pyramid that represented the simplest animals on the lower levels, with complexity increasing progressively toward the top, occupied by human beings.

The simplest Riemannian manifold, consisting of R < sup > n </ sup > with a constant inner product, is essentially identical to Euclidean n-space itself.

He began his inquiries with the simplest lines of mathematical reasoning, then later produced complete solutions to the problems he deemed worth pursuing.

The simplest type of ab initio electronic structure calculation is the Hartree – Fock ( HF ) scheme, an extension of molecular orbital theory, in which the correlated electron – electron repulsion is not specifically taken into account ; only its average effect is included in the calculation.

In the simplest case, there is only one variable, and then the data set consists of a single column of values, often represented as a list.

The simplest equations to solve are linear equations that have only one variable.

Although general relativity is not the only relativistic theory of gravity, it is the simplest theory that is consistent with experimental data.

As it was designed to be the simplest possible stored-program computer, the only arithmetic operations implemented in hardware were subtraction and negation ; other arithmetic operations were implemented in software.

The advantage of the California form interrogatories is that they do not count against the limit of 35 ; the disadvantage is that they are written in a very generic fashion, so about half of the questions are useful only in the simplest cases.

The simplest major scale to write is C major as it is the only major scale not to require sharps or flats, using only the white keys on the piano:

Since there is not much bandwidth in this band of the radio spectrum, only the very simplest signals are used, such as for radio navigation.

However, the simplest possible case is that only a genome exists.

These capabilities were once associated only with desktop publishing, but are now common in the simplest word processor.

Thus, although the current standard model of particle physics " in principle " predicts all known non-gravitational phenomena, in practice only a few quantitative results have been derived from the full theory ( e. g., the masses of some of the simplest hadrons ), and these results ( especially the particle masses which are most relevant for low-energy physics ) are less accurate than existing experimental measurements.

Some floating-point hardware only supports the simplest operations — addition, subtraction, and multiplication.

: The simplest way to impose the principle of self-consistency in quantum mechanics ( in a classical space-time ) is by a sum-over-histories formulation in which one includes all those, and only those, histories that are self-consistent.

The term baud rate has sometimes incorrectly been used to mean bit rate, since these rates are the same in old modems as well as in the simplest digital communication links using only one bit per symbol, such that binary " 0 " is represented by one symbol, and binary " 1 " by another symbol.

The simplest way to control the harmonic current is to use a filter: it is possible to design a filter that passes current only at line frequency ( 50 or 60 Hz ).
