Why Big-o and Little-o in Algorithm Complexity: a Pedagogical Remark
Worst-case and average computation time. In some situations, e.g., in automatic control, we need to make decisions in real time , i.e., within a certain period of time. For example, if a automatic car sees a suddenly appearing obstacle, it needs to compute the needed change in trajectory so as to have time to avoid the collision. In general, the computation time T (x) is di erent for di erent i...
متن کاملStrassen's Algorithm Made (Somewhat) More Natural: A Pedagogical Remark
Strassen's 1969 algorithm for fast matrix multiplication 2] is based on the possibility to multiply two 2 2 matrices A and B by using 7 multiplications instead of the usual 8. The corresponding formulas are an important part of any algorithms course, but, unfortunately, even in the best textbook expositions (see, e.g., 1]), they look very ad hoc. In this paper, we show that the use of natural s...

متن کاملEndoscopic third ventriculostomy has no higher costs than ventriculoperitoneal shunt.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the cost of endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) compared to ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS) in the treatment of hydrocephalus in children. METHOD We studied 103 children with hydrocephalus, 52 of which were treated with ETV and 51 with VPS in a prospective cohort. Treatment costs were compared within the first year after surgery, including subsequent surgery or hospi...
متن کاملAddition and multiplication of sets
Ordinal addition and multiplication can be extended in a natural way to all sets. I survey the structure of the sets under these operations. In particular, the natural partial ordering associated with addition of sets is shown to be a tree. This allows us to prove that any set has a unique representation as a sum of additively irreducible sets, and that the non-empty elements of any model of se...
