  • Wikipedia


    Complexity theory can refer to more than one thing:
  • Computational complexity theory: a field in computationtheoretical computer science and mathematics dealing with the resources required during computation to solve a given problem
  • The theoretical treatment of descriptive complexity (or Kolmogorov complexity) of a string (computer science)string is studied in algorithmic information theory by identifying the length of the shortest binary program which can output that string.
  • Systems theory (or ''systemics'' or ''general systems theory''): an interdisciplinarityinterdisciplinary field including engineering, biology and philosophy that incorporates science to study large systems
  • Complexity theory is sometimes used as a broad term addressing the study of complex systems, including subjects such as chaos theory, artificial life, and genetic algorithms.disambig
