چکیده

A merging of two ordered lists x 1 ..... Xp and Yl,-. ,Yq is said to be constrained if it must satisfy prescribed conditions of the form "x i precedes yj" and "y, precedes xs". An algorithm is given for calculating the number of mergings which satisfy any given set of constraints. The algorithm has time complexity O(pq) but in many cases runs significantly faster. It is illustrated with examples which involve the Catalan and Fibonacci numbers.

Application of Network RTK Positions and Geometric Constraints to the Problem of Attitude Determination Using the GPS Carrier Phase Measurements

Nowadays, navigation is an unavoidable fact in military and civil aerial transportations. The Global Positioning System (GPS) is commonly used for computing the orientation or attitude of a moving platform. The relative positions of the GPS antennas are computed using the GPS code and/or phase measurements. To achieve a precise attitude determination, Carrier phase observations of GPS requiring...

Hybrid Meta-heuristic Algorithm for Task Assignment Problem

Task assignment problem (TAP) involves assigning a number of tasks to a number of processors in distributed computing systems and its objective is to minimize the sum of the total execution and communication costs, subject to all of the resource constraints. TAP is a combinatorial optimization problem and NP-complete. This paper proposes a hybrid meta-heuristic algorithm for solving TAP in a ...
