A Tikz Tutorial: Generating Graphics In The Spirit Of Tex, Andrew Mertz, William Slough Jan 2009

A Tikz Tutorial: Generating Graphics In The Spirit Of Tex, Andrew Mertz, William Slough

Andrew Mertz

TikZ is a system which can be used to specify graphics of very high quality. For example, accurate place- ment of picture elements, use of TEX fonts, ability to incorporate mathematical typesetting, and the possi- bility of introducing macros can be viewed as positive factors of this system. The syntax uses an amal- gamation of ideas from METAFONT, METAPOST, PSTricks, and SVG, allowing its users to \program" their desired graphics. The latest revision to TikZ introduces many new features to an already feature- packed system, as evidenced by its 560-page user manual. Here, we present a tutorial overview of this …


The Two Covering Radius Of The Two Error Correcting Bch Code, Andrew Klapper, Andrew Mertz Jan 2009

The Two Covering Radius Of The Two Error Correcting Bch Code, Andrew Klapper, Andrew Mertz

Andrew Mertz

The m-covering radii of codes are natural generalizations of the covering radii of codes. In this paper we analyze the 2-covering radii of double error correcting BCH code.
