https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variational%20Monte%20Carlo | In computational physics, variational Monte Carlo (VMC) is a quantum Monte Carlo method that applies the variational method to approximate the ground state of a quantum system.
The basic building block is a generic wave function depending on some parameters . The optimal values of the parameters is then found upon m... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NuSMV | In computer science, NuSMV is a reimplementation and extension of the SMV symbolic model checker, the first model checking tool based on binary decision diagrams (BDDs).
The tool has been designed as an open architecture for model checking. It is aimed at reliable verification of industrially sized designs, for use as ... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kan%20fibration | In mathematics, Kan complexes and Kan fibrations are part of the theory of simplicial sets. Kan fibrations are the fibrations of the standard model category structure on simplicial sets and are therefore of fundamental importance. Kan complexes are the fibrant objects in this model category. The name is in honor of Dan... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relational%20space | The relational theory of space is a metaphysical theory according to which space is composed of relations between objects, with the implication that it cannot exist in the absence of matter. Its opposite is the container theory. A relativistic physical theory implies a relational metaphysics, but not the other way roun... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibonacci%20search%20technique | In computer science, the Fibonacci search technique is a method of searching a sorted array using a divide and conquer algorithm that narrows down possible locations with the aid of Fibonacci numbers. Compared to binary search where the sorted array is divided into two equal-sized parts, one of which is examined furthe... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type%20I%20topoisomerase | In molecular biology Type I topoisomerases are enzymes that cut one of the two strands of double-stranded DNA, relax the strand, and reanneal the strand. They are further subdivided into two structurally and mechanistically distinct topoisomerases: type IA and type IB.
Type IA topoisomerases change the linking numbe... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partitioned%20global%20address%20space | In computer science, partitioned global address space (PGAS) is a parallel programming model paradigm. PGAS is typified by communication operations involving a global memory address space abstraction that is logically partitioned, where a portion is local to each process, thread, or processing element. The novelty of P... |
