A Set of APL Functions to Play New Eleusis

نویسنده

  • Michael J. A. Berry
چکیده

Players of New Eleusls attempt to f i nd the "secret ru le" which governs the play of cards. This ru le , which is made up by a player refered to As "God," may be anything at a l l so long as it depends only on a t t r ibu tes of the cards themselves. The scoring of the game punishes a God who makes up rules which are too d i f f i c u l t fo r any of the players to discover. Players experiment by playing cards which are then ei ther accepted or rejected by God.

Mixing the Kykeon

Hypotheses advanced in The Road to Eleusis concerning the possible composition and method of preparation of the kykeon are evaluated in light of published criticism. Objections to the Eleusis theory are countered, and based on a largely overlooked aspect of the chemical hydrolysis of ergot alkaloids, a new hypothesis is suggested that reinvigorates the Eleusis debate. In part 2 of this essay, o...

ISOGEOMETRIC TOPOLOGY OPTIMIZATION OF STRUCTURES USING LEVEL SET METHOD INCORPORATING SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS

This study focuses on the topology optimization of structures using a hybrid of level set method (LSM) incorporating sensitivity analysis and isogeometric analysis (IGA). First, the topology optimization problem is formulated using the LSM based on the shape gradient. The shape gradient easily handles boundary propagation with topological changes. In the LSM, the topological gradient method as ...

Average Path Length as a Paradigm for the Fast Evaluation of Functions Represented by Binary Decision Diagrams∗

This paper focuses on the average path length (APL) of BDD’s for switching functions. APL is a metric for the time it takes to evaluate the function by a computer program. We derive the APL for the AND, OR, parity, carry-out, comparison, threshold symmetric, and majority functions. We also consider the average of the APL for various classes of functions, including symmetric, threshold symmetric...

Eleusis: Complexity and Interaction in Inductive Inference

This paper analyzes the computational complexity of the inductive inference game Eleusis. Eleusis is a card game in which one player constructs a secret rule which has to be discovered by the other players. We determine the complexity of various decision problems that arise in Eleusis. We show that on the one hand, many of the problems are solvable in polynomial time whereas on the other hand, ...

A New Nonlinear Specification of Structural Breaks for Money Demand in Iran

In a structural time series regression model, binary variables have been used to quantify qualitative or categorical quantitative events such as politic and economic structural breaks, regions, age groups and etc. The use of the binary dummy variables is not reasonable because the effect of an event decreases (increases) gradually over time not at once. The simple and basic idea in this paper i...
