Definition: A finite, well-defined sequence of unambiguous step-by-step instructions that a machine can follow to achieve a specific goal or solve a problem [Bakanach 2023/2024].
Example in context: “The algorithm applies to the normalized instance an adaptation of the Lone Divider algorithm, in which the divider in each step must construct a balanced partition.” [Hosseini et al. 2022]
