Technical date December 2010 No footnotes date December 2010 In the game theory mathematical theory of games , for an impartial game under the mis re convention, finding the indistinguishability quotient of all the positions in a game opens the theoretical possibility of predicting the outcome of the sum of any number of games positions in a game. The indistinguishability quotient of a game is expressed as the product of a number of symbols. Usually, the quotient of games is found bottom up, with quotients for subsequently larger positions found. When a position cannot be expressed as the sum of other smaller positions, a new symbol is created to represent it. Other positions which can be expressed as a sum of other positions are given a quotient that is the product of all the positions that can be used to express it. A position can be expressed as a sum of other positions if it is equivalent see Sprague Grundy theorem . A set of equations with equivalent quotients is also kept to keep the quotients shorter. For example, with many mis re games, 2 2 2 2 is true. Then, if 2 is assigned a quotient of a , the equation can be expressed as a sup 3 sup a . Finally, a kernel of quotients which are losing positions is kept. With this information, the outcome of any sum of games can be found by multiplying the quotient of each individual game together, simplifying with the equations found, and looking up whether the quotient is in the kernel.

Computational semantics is the study of how to automate the process of constructing and reasoning with semantics meaning representations of natural language expressions. It consequently plays an important role in natural language processing and computational linguistics . Some traditional topics of interest are semantic analysis linguistics construction of meaning representation s, semantic underspecification , anaphora linguistics anaphora resolution, presupposition projection, and quantifier scope resolution. Methods employed usually draw from Formal semantics linguistics formal semantics or statistical semantics . Computational semantics has points of contact with the areas of lexical semantics word sense disambiguation and semantic role labeling , discourse semantics, knowledge representation and automated reasoning in particular, automated theorem proving .

Refimprove date September 2007 In computational complexity theory , a computational resource is a resource used by some computational model s in the solution of computational problem s. The simplest computational resources are computation time , the number of steps necessary to solve a problem, and memory space , the amount of storage needed while solving the problem, but many more complicated resources have been defined. A computational problem is generally defined in terms of its action on any valid input. Examples of problems might be given an integer n , determine whether n is prime , or given two numbers x and y , calculate the product x y . As the inputs get bigger, the amount of computational resources needed to solve a problem will increase. Thus, the resources needed to solve a problem are described in terms of asymptotic analysis , by identifying the resources as a function of the length or size of the input. Computational resources are useful because we can study which problems can be computed in a certain amount of each computational resource. In this way, we can determine whether algorithm s for solving the problem are optimal and we can make statements about an Algorithmic efficiency algorithm s efficiency . The set of all of the computational problems that can be solved using a certain amount of a certain computational resource is a complexity class , and relationships between different complexity classes are one of the most important topics in complexity theory.

About computational science applied in physics theories comparing the universe to a computer digital physics Computational physics Computational physics is the study and implementation of numerical algorithm s to solve problems in physics for which a quantitative theory already exists. It is often regarded as a subdiscipline of theoretical physics but some consider it an intermediate branch between theoretical and experimental physics . Physicist s often have a very precise mathematical theory describing how a system will behave. Unfortunately, it is often the case that solving the theory s equations ab initio in order to produce a useful prediction is not practical. This is especially true with quantum mechanics , where only a handful of simple models admit closed form, analytic solutions. In cases where the equations can only be solved approximately, computational methods are often used.

for mathematical models of computers Model of computation Unreferenced date October 2008 A computational model is a mathematical model in computational science that requires extensive computational resource s to study the behavior of a complex system by computer simulation . The system under study is often a complex nonlinear system for which simple, intuitive analytical solution s are not readily available. Rather than deriving a mathematical analytical solution to the problem, experimentation with the model is done by adjusting the parameters of the system in the computer, and studying the differences in the outcome of the experiments. Operation theories of the model can be derived deduced from these computational experiments. Examples of common computational models are weather forecasting models, earth simulator models, flight simulator models, molecular protein folding models, and neural network models.

orphan date August 2010 cleanup date July 2010 In economics , elasticity economics elasticity is the ratio of the percent change in one variable to the percent change in another variable. Computational elasticity is the application of this concept to how computer systems scale with relation to temporal & monetary costs. The concept of computational elasticity is a particularly useful concept for comparing cloud computing platforms with relation to costs. An example question where the concept of computational elasticity is useful might include If the number of users on my website expands from 100 day to 1000000 day over the course of the next week, what will the cost be to ensure a fast page load? Cost is a function of the infrastructure the site runs on, which in turn is heavily influenced by the computational elasticity of the infrastructure. Infrastructure capable of rapidly accommodating this rapid increase in required computing power at low monetary & temporal cost has a high computational elasticity. Infrastructure that will require significant costs to handle this increase in required computing power has a low computational elasticity. Category Elasticity economics ... more details
