Translation of the English term "linearithmic" O (N * log N) into Russian
Linearithmic time complexity - linear-logarithmic complexity, O(N * log N)
Are there any "short" translations of the word linearithmic?
Examples (invented by me and from comments) [word length]:
-
логлинейное[11] -
линеарное[9] -
линлогное[9] -
линарифмическое[15] -
линейнологарифмическое[22]
More options?

Based on the fact that the term: Linearithmic is not generally accepted, that is, well, not Oxford, but more computer slang, I would suggest the term loglinear:
- It is certainly not described in the dictionaries of Dahl and Ozhegov (that is, it is approximately identical to linearithmic)
- Relatively euphonious, easily inclined (as opposed to linlogic)
- Conveys meaning (as opposed to linear)
I'll bet on linarithmic.
Because "lognayny" sounds much worse :)
And let's make a bet - which term will be the first to appear in Russian-language literature? :)
- "Flimsy" means flimsy and agile. "Flimsy "means the same as "frail". You know, that word is like a wallet. Open it, and there are two compartments! So here - this word is decomposed into two!

Update
In this book meets linarithmic difficulty :)
Wikipedia says that a linear-logarithmic function is a special case of a quasilinear one, so this term can also be used as a translation.
