Stable algorithm
open-in-new
<ul><li>In computer science, a stable <a href="/facts/Sorting_algorithm/PwHpj1Gs">sorting algorithm</a> preserves the order of records with equal keys.</li> <li>In numerical analysis, a <a href="/facts/Numerical_stability/jRDdo8zV">numerically stable</a> algorithm avoids magnifying small errors. An algorithm is stable if the result produced is relatively insensitive to perturbations during computation.</li></ul>
