Contagion and efficiency

Journal of Economic Theory, 2008
We consider a population of agents, either finite or countably infinite, located on an arbitrary network. Agents interact directly only with their immediate neighbors, but are able to observe the behavior of (some) other agents beyond their interaction neighborhood, and learn from that behavior by imitating successful actions.

On the efficient synthesis of efficient programs

Computer Compacts, 1983
Abstract Efficiency is a problem in automatic programming—both in the programs produced and in the synthesis process itself. The efficiency problem arises because many target-language programs (which vary in their time and space performance) typically satisfy one abstract specification. This paper presents a framework for using analysis and searching

An Efficient Quasidictionary

2002
We define a quasidictionary to be a data structure that supports the following operations: check-in(v) inserts a data item v and returns a positive integer tag to be used in future references to v; check-out(x) deletes the data item with tag x; access(x) inspects and/or modifies the data item with tag x.

The authors model institutional quality as the degree to which obligations associated with exchanging capital can be enforced. Establishing a positive level of enforcement requires an aggregate investment of capital that is no longer available for ...

Memory Efficiency

Journal of the ACM, 1959
Memory is the heart of today's electronic computers—memory serving as a fast-access storage unit and also being used in the execution of computer commands. The problem of memory efficiency, therefore, is one of great importance. Complete efficiency has not yet been attained and research to achieve it has been up to now rather limited.
