adj, noun ·Rare ·Advanced level
Definitions
- 1 A collection of varied algorithms that are applied to the same problem, either interleaved or in parallel.
"Also, mixed strategies developed in Nazareth and Qi [1996], which interleave the sum-of-squares merit function and the Lagrangian-based potential function in order to enhance robustness without sacrificing efficiency, can be replaced by pure strategies (basic forms of the algorithms) that run, in parallel, within the framework of a multialgorithm."
- 1 Involving more than one algorithm. not-comparable
