On Perfect and Near-perfect Numbers
We call n a near-perfect number if n is the sum of all of its proper divisors, except for one of them, which we term the redundant divisor. For example, the representation 12 = 1 + 2 + 3 + 6 shows that 12 is near-perfect with redundant divisor 4. Near-perfect numbers are thus a very special class of pseudoperfect numbers, as defined by Sierpiński. We discuss some rules for generating near-perfe...
متن کاملPerfect and near-perfect adaptation in a model of bacterial chemotaxis.
The signaling apparatus mediating bacterial chemotaxis can adapt to a wide range of persistent external stimuli. In many cases, the bacterial activity returns to its prestimulus level exactly, and this perfect adaptability is robust against variations in various chemotaxis protein concentrations. We model the bacterial chemotaxis signaling pathway, from ligand binding to CheY phosphorylation. B...
متن کاملNear-perfect Token Distribution
Suppose that n tokens are arbitrarily placed on the n nodes of a graph. At each parallel step one token may be moved from each node to an adjacent node. An algorithm for the near-perfect token distribution problem redistributes the tokens in a minimum number of steps, so that, at the end, no more than O(l) tokens reside at each node. (In perfect distribution, at the end, exactly one token resid...
متن کاملNear Perfect Coverings in Graphs and Hypergraphs
Suppose we are given a bipartite graph with vertex set X, Y, IXI = n, I YI = N, each point in X( Y) has degree D(d) fixed, respectively, moreover, each pair of points x, x' E X has at most D/(log n)3 (common) neighbours. Let t(X, Y) denote the minimum number of vertices of Y needed to cover all vertices of X. We prove (Theorem 1.1) that t(X, Y)d/ n tends to 1 as n tends to infinity. This result...
متن کاملSignaling Exhaustion and Perfect Exclusion
You probably think of nineteenth century Great Britain as a place without any substantial social safety net aside from the Church. In fact, England had a well-developed welfare system in the nineteenth century, with local government functionaries dispensing cash. Early in the nineteenth century, low-level British functionaries knew almost all the people who were coming before them to appeal for...
