Optimal 2,3-Trees, Nicholas J. Pippenger, Raymond E. Miller, Arnold L. Rosenberg, Lawrence Snyder Jan 1979

Optimal 2,3-Trees, Nicholas J. Pippenger, Raymond E. Miller, Arnold L. Rosenberg, Lawrence Snyder

All HMC Faculty Publications and Research

The 2,3-trees that are optimal in the sense of having minimal expected number of nodes visited per access are characterized in terms of their “profiles”. The characterization leads directly to a linear-time algorithm for constructing a K-key optimal 2,3-tree for a sorted list of K keys. A number of results are derived that demonstrate how different in structure these optimal 2,3-trees are from their “average” cousins.


Making Curriculum Decisions And The Nature Of Mathematics, Paul Zwier Jan 1979

Making Curriculum Decisions And The Nature Of Mathematics, Paul Zwier

ACMS Journal 2004

This paper clearly presents eight aspects of mathematics and contrasting perspectives in each that will affect the teaching of mathematics and the design of curricula. It also presents a collection of affirmations that could reasonably characterize a Christian perspective on teaching mathematics.

The Cusp Catastrophe And The Laws Of Dialectics, Martin Zwick Jan 1979

The Cusp Catastrophe And The Laws Of Dialectics, Martin Zwick

Complex Systems Faculty Publications and Presentations

The three classical "laws" of dialectics of Hegel and Engels, ( 1) the transformation of quantity into quality, (2) the interpenetration of opposites, and (3) the negation of the negation, can be given precise meanings in terms of the Catastrophe Theory of Rene Thom and E. C. Zeeman. This suffices to counter the charge that dialectics is scholasticism or empty metaphysics, but does not support claims of universality for the dialectical principles, nor guarantee the validity of any particular application of these principles.


An Investigation Of Montmort's "Probleme De Recontres" And Generalizations, Ronald I. Greenberg Dec 1978

An Investigation Of Montmort's "Probleme De Recontres" And Generalizations, Ronald I. Greenberg

Computer Science: Faculty Publications and Other Works

I have investigated a problem which may be phrased in many ways, such as finding the probability of answering a given number of questions correctly on a randomly-completed matching test which may have a number of extra "dud" answers. I have determined such probabilities, the average number of correct answers, and other allied results. I have also investigated a related problem involving the number of ways of choosing a different element from each of a certain collection of sets.

On List Structures And Their Use In The Programming Of Unification, F. Lockwood Morris Aug 1978

On List Structures And Their Use In The Programming Of Unification, F. Lockwood Morris

Electrical Engineering and Computer Science - Technical Reports

The notion of list structure is discussed, and a new construct is introduced into LISP which permits the computation of list structures containing cycles without recourse to operations which alter existing structures. It is shown that list structures can be used to represent both finite and “rational” infinite terms. Substitutions (generalized for a term algebra which includes infinite terms) are discussed, “tables” are introduced as an abstract data type, and two methods of representing substitutions by tables, together with their interrelation, are considered. Concise programs are given for a succession of forms of Robinson’s unification algorithm, including one which operates …

On Combinational Networks With Restricted Fan-Out, K. L. Kodandapani, Sharad C. Seth Apr 1978

On Combinational Networks With Restricted Fan-Out, K. L. Kodandapani, Sharad C. Seth

School of Computing: Faculty Publications

Fan-out-free networks of AND, OR, NOT, EXOR, and MAJORITY gates are considered. Boolean functions for which such networks exist are defined to be fan-out free. The paper solves the following problems regarding the fan-out-free networks and functions.
1) Characterization of the class of fan-out-free functions: The characterization given is constructive in the sense that if a given function is fan-out free one obtains a fan-out-free network to realize it.
2) Counting the class of fan-out-free functions: After establishing a correspondence between a fan-out-free function and a normalized network realizing it, a series of formulas are developed to count distinct normal …
