In his 1961 paper, Marcel Golay showed how the search for pairs of binary sequences of length n with complementary autocorrelation is at worst a 2 3n 2 −6 problem. Andres, in his 1977 master’s thesis, developed an algorithm which reduced this to a 2 n 2 −1 search and investigated lengths up to 58 for existence of pairs. In this paper, we describe refinements to this algorithm, enabling a 2 n 2 ...

J.E. Hirsch (2005) introduced the h-index to quantify an individual’s scientific research output by the largest number h of a scientist’s papers that received at least h citations. To take into account the highly skewed frequency distribution of citations, L. Egghe (2006a) proposed the g-index as an improvement of the h-index. I have worked out 26 practical cases of physicists from the Institut...
