Is binary tree balanced if and only if the morris traversal of the tree produces ordered list?

A binary tree is a binary search tree iff its inorder traversal yields an ordered list. Inorder (or symmetric) traversal is recursively defined as left-node-right. This recurrence is of course ...

Is there any computation formalism based on general relativity?

The reason quantum computing is useful is not (just) that the problems in QM are applicable to problems that'd we'd like to solve in computing generally, but because we can physically realize setups ...

Understanding the Recursive Algorithm for Integer Division

Suppose $x$ is divided by $y$, and the quotient is $q$ and remainder is $r$. Then, it means the following: $$x = q \cdot y + r \quad \quad \textrm{where} \quad r < y. \quad \quad (1)$$ Consider ...

Comparing a greedy and a brute force algorithm for NMS

Your description of the problem and your solutions are not very accurate. I will rephrase as follows: "any rectangle that has a sufficient overlap with another rectangle of a higher score must be ...
