The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) — known between 1901 and 1988 as the National Bureau of Standards (NBS) — is a measurement standards laboratory and a non-regulatory agency of the United States Department of Commerce. The institute's official mission is to promote U.S. ...
Search a sorted array by narrowing possible locations to progressively smaller intervals. Begin with two Fibonacci numbers, p (F(n)) and q (F(n+1)), such that p < n ≤ q, where n is the size of the array. The first step checks location p. The size of the next interval is p, if the key is less than the item at that location, or q-p (F(n-1)) if it is greater.
Industry:Computer science
Search a sorted array by repeatedly dividing the search interval in half. Begin with an interval covering the whole array. If the value of the search key is less than the item in the middle of the interval, narrow the interval to the lower half. Otherwise narrow it to the upper half. Repeatedly check until the value is found or the interval is empty.
Industry:Computer science
Search an array or list by checking items one at a time.
Industry:Computer science
Search an array or list by checking items one at a time. If the value is found, swap it with its predecessor so it is found faster next time.

Industry:Computer science
Search by selecting between two distinct alternatives (dichotomies) at each step.

Searching for approximate (e.g., up to a predefined number of symbol mismatches, insertions, and deletions) occurrences of a pattern string in a text string. Preprocessing, e.g., building an index, may or may not be allowed.

Industry:Computer science
Select the k<sup>th</sup> smallest element of an array and partition the array around it. Partition around the value of the k<sup>th</sup> element. If the partition boundary is not at k, repeat in the partition that includes k.
