👉 Laxity, in mathematics and computer science, is a property of functions or other mathematical structures that measures how much they deviate from their "best" approximation. It is often used to compare different algorithms for solving problems, such as searching through a large dataset. In its most basic form, laxity is defined as the difference between the actual value and the best possible outcome when the function is evaluated at some point. This can be thought of as the fraction of the range of values that
