A technique of differentiation with respect to the distance to
the boundary of an outer parallel-body is applied to known measures of
sets of p-dimensional linear spaces which intersect a general convex
body in n-dimensional euclidean space in order to obtain an appropriate
definition of the measures of sets of...
In his book on abstract algebra, Nathan Jacobson
poses and solves the problem of finding the number of
ways of inserting parentheses in a string of given length
with binary operators. We continue the work of Jacobson
and go beyond it in that we no longer consider one binary
operator...
The thesis discusses stability of procedures based on linear
computing formulas for numerical integration of an ordinary first-order
differential equation. The theorems are proved: (1) If the
procedure is asymptotically stable it is stable for small positive step
size if the Lipschitz number is negative; (2) Relative stability always
exists...
Computational scheme, equivalence, and Turing machine are
defined. Some computational schemes are examined and shown to
be equivalent to the computational scheme of a Turing machine.
A theory of straight line triangulations of points in the plane is developed. A basic transformation is presented, and it is shown that any triangulation may be transformed into any other triangulation which has the same boundary by a finite sequence of the basic transformations. The proof of the transformation...
Let A be an n x n real, symmetric matrix with distinct characteristic values λ₁, λ₂,...,λɴ. Then there exists an orthogonal matrix P such that PAPᵀ = Λ = (λi). Given a small symmetric change, ∆A, in the matrix A, we can calculate the resulting changes, ∆P, and ∆Λ, in...
Among the geometries with n points on every line (with n
an integer greater than one), those in which there are no parallels
and those in which the axiom of parallels holds have been discussed
(as finite projective and affine geometries) in the literature. This
paper contrasts such geometries with...
A systematic and rigorous derivation of the Boolean functions that represent the three operations of the ring of integers in the 1-2-4-5 code is developed from their corresponding tables. The same is done for numerical complementation of a number. The equations of the latter are combined with those for addition...
A new procedure is developed for computing a root of algebraic equations with real coefficients and a degree n, where n is 2, 4, 6, 10, 14 or any positive odd integer. A heuristic procedure is added to partially lift the restrictions on the degree n. The procedures are written...
Since the advent of the modern computer there has been great interest in simulation of all types. It is not possible to simulate very large systems on computers. This thesis presents the algorithms necessary to simulate a college with respect to the academic relationship of the student with the college....
It is
well
known
that
two-terminal
switching
circuits
may
be
represented
by
boolean
formulas.
Thus
the
study
of
certain
switching
circuit
problems
leads
to
the
study of
free
boolean
algebras,
in
particular
to
the
free
boolean
algebra
on
a
countably
infinite
set
of
generators.
An
abstract
characterization
of
this
algebra...
This thesis documents a new language which facilitates
the construction of Turing machines. The language translator
is written in Compass and has been debugged and is
available for use on the CDC 3300.
