|
* A ternary search algorithm is a technique in computer science for finding the minimum or maximum of a unimodal function
|
|
|
|
* The algorithm determines either that the minimum or maximum cannot be in the first third of the domain
|
|
|
|
* or that it cannot be in the last third of the domain, then repeats on the remaining third.

|
* Best-case performance O(1)
