Specialty Definition: deterministic

Domain Definition
Computing Deterministic 1. Describes a system whose time evolution can be predicted exactly. Contrast probabilistic. 2. Describes an algorithm in which the correct next step depends only on the current state. This contrasts with an algorithm involving backtracking where at each point there may be several possible actions and no way to chose between them except by trying each one and backtracking if it fails. (1995-09-22) Source: The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing.
Computing A simulation in which a fixed relationship exists between input parameters and output results for each action, value, event, etc. such that given input parameters will always result in the same output. Source: European Union. (references)
Environment A single calculation using only a single value for each of the model parameters. A deterministic system is governed by definite rules of system behavior leading to cause and effect relationships and predictability. Deterministic calculations do not account for uncertainty in the physical relationships or parameter values. (references)
Math Permitting at most one next move at any step in a computation. (references)
Physics Attribute of systems whose behavior is specified without probabilities (other than zero or one) (see probability) and predictable without uncertainty once the relevant conditions are known. Deterministic systems leave nothing to chance and are of necessity lawful. There are no options. Deterministic systems conform to the ideal of a machine in which wear and tear, mechanical failures and unreliabilities are absent. Modern computers are conceived as deterministic machines. (Krippendorff). (references)

Common Expressions: deterministic

Expressions Definition
Deterministic algorithm In computer science, a deterministic algorithm is an algorithm which, in informal terms, behaves predictably. If it runs on a particular input, it will always produce the same correct output, and the underlying machine will always pass through the same sequence of states. Deterministic algorithms are by far the most studied and familiar kind of algorithm, as well as one of the most practical, since they can be run on real machines efficiently. (references)
Deterministic encryption A deterministic encryption scheme (as opposed to a probabilistic encryption scheme) is a cryptosystem which always produces the same ciphertext for a given plaintext and key, even over separate executions of the encryption algorithm. Examples of deterministic encryption algorithms include the RSA cryptosystem (without encryption padding), and many block ciphers when used in ECB mode or with a constant initialization vector. (references)
Deterministic finite state machine In the theory of computation, a deterministic finite state machine or deterministic finite automaton (DFA) is a finite state machine where for each pair of state and input symbol there is one and only one transition to a next state. (references)
Deterministic system (mathematics) In mathematics, a deterministic system is a system in which no randomness is involved in the development of future states of the system. (references)
Deterministic system (philosophy) A deterministic system is a conceptual model of the philosophical doctrine of determinism applied to a system for understanding everything that has and will occur in the system, based on the physical outcomes of causality. In a deterministic system, every action, or cause, produces a reaction, or effect, and every reaction, in turn, becomes the cause of subsequent reactions. The totality of these cascading events can theoretically show exactly how the system will exist at any moment in time. (references)

Specialty Expressions: deterministic

Expressions Domain Definition
Deterministic algorithm Math An algorithm whose behavior can be completely predicted from the input. (references)
Deterministic automaton Computing A finite-state automaton in which the overall course of the computation is completely determined by the program, the starting state, and the initial inputs. The class of problems solvable by such automata is the class P (see polynomial-time algorithm). (1996-05-03). Source: The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing..
Deterministic distribution Statistics A distribution consisting of a mass concentrated at a single point x= k. Source: European Union. (references)
Deterministic effect Energy The health effects, the severity of which varies with the dose and for which a threshold is believed to exist. Radiation-induced cataract formation is an example of a deterministic effect (also called a non-stochastic effect) (see 10 CFR 20.1003). (references)
Deterministic finite automata string search Math A string matching algorithm which builds a deterministic finite state machine to recognize the search string. The machine is then run at each location in turn. If the machine accepts, that is a match. (references)
Deterministic finite state machine Math A finite state machine with exactly one transition for each given symbol and state. (references)
Deterministic imputation Statistics One the three main types of imputation of missing data, which has a number of variants: imputation of the "class average" and hot deck sequential" method. Source: European Union. (references)
Deterministic information Physics The type of information based on bits and bit strings. This is the same as classical information but explicitly excludes probabilistic information. (references)
Deterministic models Statistics Liability-matching models that assume that the liability payments and the asset cash flows are known with certainty. Source: European Union. (references)
Deterministic Process Administration (Statistics) An analytical and forecasting technique which assumes that the future can be predicted exactly from its past. Consequently, it is assumed that the data series to be forecasted contains all the information necessary to predict its future behavior. A deterministic process or relationship is assumed to be "exact", and therefore assumes no presence of a Disturbance (or Error) Term. The simplest form of this process is commonly termed an AutoRegressive Moving Average (ARMA) Process, or Box-Jenkins, which involves regressing a series on itself and using solely the historical patterns contained in the data to formulate forecasts. As a naive method, such a process does not include the capability to incorporate external "shocks" or other influences which may have an effect on the future behavior of a series. Such a technique is typically used only for well-behaved data showing typically predictable repetitive cycles and patterns. Contrast with Stochastic Process. (references)
Deterministic routing Business 1) In a switched network, switching in which the routes between given pairs of nodes are pre-programmed, i.e., are determined, in advance of transmission. Note: The routes used to complete a given call through a network are identified, in advance of transmission, in routing tables maintained in each switch database. The tables assign the trunks that are to be used to reach each switch code, area code, and International Access Prefix (IAP), usually with one or two alternate routes. 2) In a non-switched network, routing in which the routes between given pairs of nodes are determined in advance. Note: The routes used to send a given message through a network are identified in advance in routing tables maintained in a database. (references)
Deterministic school of thought Medicine It holds that external influences, including hormonal signals, direct stem cell differentiation. Source: European Union. (references)
Deterministic transfer mode Business An asynchronous transfer mode in which the maximum information transfer capacity of a telecommunication service is provided throughout a call. (references)
Deterministic tree automaton Math A deterministic finite state machine that accepts infinite trees rather than just strings. The tree nodes are marked with the letters of the alphabet of the automaton, and the transition function encodes the next states for each branch of the tree. The expressive power of such automata varies depending on the acceptance conditions of the trees. (references)
