The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (27 SEP 03)
:
complexity
The level in difficulty in solving mathematically
posed problems as measured by the time, number of steps or
arithmetic operations, or memory space required (called time
complexity, computational complexity, and space complexity,
respectively).
The interesting aspect is usually how complexity scales with
the size of the input (the "scalability"), where the size of
the input is described by some number N. Thus an algorithm
may have computational complexity O(N^2) (of the order of the
square of the size of the input), in which case if the input
doubles in size, the computation will take four times as many
steps. The ideal is a constant time algorithm (O(1)) or
failing that, O(N).
See also {NP-complete}.
