Zig-zag Path to Understanding
نویسنده
چکیده
OUT understanding of the fundamental physical limits of information handling has developed along a very convoluted path. Most of the initially plausible physical conjectures have turned out to be wrong. A participant’s personal view of these events is not a disciplined contribution to the history of science. I do, however, last my own mistakes along with those of others.

Some relations between Kekule structure and Morgan-Voyce polynomials
In this paper, Kekule structures of benzenoid chains are considered. It has been shown that the coefficients of a B_n (x) Morgan-Voyce polynomial equal to the number of k-matchings (m(G,k)) of a path graph which has N=2n+1 points. Furtermore, two relations are obtained between regularly zig-zag nonbranched catacondensed benzenid chains and Morgan-Voyce polynomials and between regularly zig-zag ...
متن کاملTheoretical and Experimental Investigation of Optical Properties of ZnS Zig-Zag Thin Films
Zigzag ZnS thin films prepared by thermal evaporation method using glancing angle deposition (GLAD) technique. ZnS films with zigzag structure were produced at deposition angles of 0˚, 60˚ and 80˚ at room temperature on glass substrates. Surface morphology of the films w:as char:acterized by using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). The optical properties of the specimens were i...
متن کاملZig-zag and replacement product graphs and LDPC codes
It is known that the expansion property of a graph influences the performance of the corresponding code when decoded using iterative algorithms. Certain graph products may be used to obtain larger expander graphs from smaller ones. In particular, the zig-zag product and replacement product may be used to construct infinite families of constant degree expander graphs. This paper investigates the...
متن کاملEffects of Surface Topography on Formation of Zig-zag Defects in Ssflc Devices
The cause for wide variations in the zig-zag defect density in SSFLC devices using the same alignment layer material is investigated. In this paper, we show how the topography of the surface layer due to imperfect coating techniques and materials promotes the formation of zig-zag defects. We show that if the alignment surface slope is greater than the pretilt, high densities of zig-zag defects ...
متن کاملStatistical Study of Zig-Zag Transition Boundaries in Longitudinal Digital Magnetic Recording
In this paper, we study the statistics of zig-zag transition walls in digital magnetic recording and their relationship to transition noise defining quantities. We provide analytic results that link the statistics of zig-zag transitions to media/recording parameters. The basis of our study is the triangle zig-zag transition (TZ-ZT) model due to its well-defined triangle zig-zag shape and its cr...
