https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automata-based%20programming%20%28Shalyto%27s%20approach%29 | Automata-based programming is a programming technology. Its defining characteristic is the use of finite state machines to describe program behavior. The transition graphs of state machines are used in all stages of software development (specification, implementation, debugging and documentation). Automata-based progra... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food%20spoilage | Food spoilage is the process where a food product becomes unsuitable to ingest by the consumer. The cause of such a process is due to many outside factors as a side-effect of the type of product it is, as well as how the product is packaged and stored. Due to food spoilage, one-third of the world's food produced for th... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum%20cut | For a graph, a maximum cut is a cut whose size is at least the size of any other cut. That is, it is a partition of the graph's vertices into two complementary sets and , such that the number of edges between and is as large as possible. Finding such a cut is known as the max-cut problem.
The problem can be stated ... |
