On Agent Communication In Large Groups, Gary R. Greenfield Aug 1998

On Agent Communication In Large Groups, Gary R. Greenfield

Department of Math & Statistics Technical Report Series

The problem is fundamental and natural, yet deep - to simulate the simplest possible form of communication that can occur within a large multi-agent system. It would be prohibitive to try and survey all of the research on "communication" in general so we must restrict our focus. We will devote our efforts to synthetic communication occurring within large groups. In particular, we would like to discover a model for communication that will serve as an abstract model, a prototype, for simulating communication within large groups of biological organisms.


Octary Codewords With Power Envelopes Of 3∗2M, Katherine M. Nieswand, Kara N. Wagner Jul 1998

Octary Codewords With Power Envelopes Of 3∗2M, Katherine M. Nieswand, Kara N. Wagner

Department of Math & Statistics Technical Report Series

This paper examines codewords of length 2m in Z8 with envelope power maxima of 3 ∗ 2m. Using the general form for Golay pairs as a base, a general form is derived for the set of coset leaders that generate these codewords. From this general form it will be proven that there exists at least one element in the coset that achieves a power of 3 ∗ 2m for each m-even and m-odd case.
