This paper presents a family of algorithms for fast subset filtering within ordered sets of integers representing composite keys. Applications include significant acceleration of (ad-hoc) analytic queries against a data warehouse without any additional indexing. The algorithms work for point, range and set restrictions on multiple attributes, in any combination, and are inherently multidimensio...

This paper presents three new sets of frequency hopping sequences, which are converted into sequences for CDMA. One of the CDMA sequence families is optimal with respect to theWelch bound, and two are nearly optimal. Our sequences are available for more lengths, and have much higher linear complexity than other CDMA sequences. They have a similar structure to the small Kasami set, but are balan...

Virtual high throughput screening of in-house compound collections and vendor catalogs is a validated approach in the quest for novel molecular entities. However, these libraries are small compared to the overall synthesizable number of compounds from validated “wet” chemical reactions in pharma companies or the public domain. In order to overcome this limitation, we designed a large virtual co...

A nonperturbative lattice study of QCD at finite chemical potential is complicated due to the complex fermion determinant and the sign problem. Here we apply the method of stochastic quantization and complex Langevin dynamics to this problem. We present results for U(1) and SU(3) one link models and QCD at finite chemical potential using the hopping expansion. The phase of the determinant is st...

In this paper, we propose a pseudo-chaotic modulation suitable for ultrawide-bandwidth impulse-radio communication systems. The coding scheme is based upon controlling the symbolic dynamics of a chaotic map for encoding the digital information to be transmitted. The pseudo-chaotic time hopping enhances the spread-spectrum characteristics of the system, by removing most periodic components from ...

We consider a hybrid direct-sequence frequency-hopped (DS/FH) code division multiple access (CDMA) communication system, where the transmission power and data rate are adapted relative to the channel variation. Instead of random frequency hopping, hopping pattern is adaptively adjusted to obtain the maximum channel gain among available frequency slots. Transmission power and/or data rate are al...

Using a self-consistent Hartree-Fock approximation we investigate the relative stability of various stripe phases in the extended t-t-U Hubbard model. One finds that a negative ratio of nextto nearest-neighbor hopping t/t < 0 expells holes from antiferromagnetic domains and reinforces the stripe order. Therefore the half-filled stripes not only accommodate holes but also redistribute them so th...
