Voting in Hiring Committees: Which “Almost” Rule is Optimal? [PDF]
We determine the scoring rule that is most likely to select a high-ability candidate. A major result is that neither the widely used plurality rule nor the inverse-plurality rule are ever optimal, and that the Borda rule is hardly ever optimal ...

Balanced optimal almost binary sequence pairs of period N≡1(mod4) [PDF]
Based on the combinatorial design theory, the constructions of balanced optimal almost binary sequence pairs of period N≡1(mod 4)were researched.The maximal cross-correlation values θc were obtained by different combinations of (almost) binary sequence ...

Study on the constructions of optimal almost quaternary sequences with period 2q [PDF]
Based on the Chinese remainder theorem and cyclotomic classes of order 4,the constructions of almost quaternary sequences with period N=2q (where q is an odd prime) was studied.According to the number of “0” in the two positions y(0) and y(q),three types

Dynamic trees with almost-optimal access cost [PDF]
An optimal binary search tree for an access sequence on elements is a static tree that minimizes the total search cost. Constructing perfectly optimal binary search trees is expensive so the most efficient algorithms construct almost optimal search trees.

Almost difference sets and their sequences with optimal autocorrelation
Almost difference sets have interesting applications in cryptography and coding theory. We give a well-rounded treatment of known families of almost difference sets, establish relations between some difference sets and some almost difference sets, and ...

Approximate solution of nonlinear hyperbolic equations with homogeneous jump conditions
We present the error analysis of class of second order nonlinear hyperbolic interface problem where the spatial and time discretizations are based on finite element method and linearized backward difference scheme respectively. Both semi discrete and

Optimal Inequalities on (α,β)-Type Almost Contact Manifold with the Schouten–Van Kampen Connection
In the current research, we develop optimal inequalities for submanifolds in trans-Sasakian manifolds or (α,β)-type almost contact manifolds endowed with the Schouten–Van Kampen connection (SVK-connection), including generalized normalized δ-Casorati ...

Constructing Higher Nonlinear Odd-Variable RSBFs With Optimal AI and Almost Optimal FAI
Rotation symmetric Boolean functions (RSBFs) are nowadays studied a lot because of its easy operations and good performance in cryptosystem. This paper constructs a new class of odd-variable RSBFs with optimal algebraic immunity (AI). The nonlinearity of
