Features
A new integration algorithm is found, and an implementation is compared with other programmed algorithms. The new algorithm is a step-by-step procedure for solving the…
A precise numerical analysis program
A description is given of a program for computing the solution to a small number of standard numerical analysis problems to any specified accuracy, up to a limit of 2000…
An interactive graphic display for region partitioning by linear programming
Using linear programming, an interactive graphic display system has been implemented to solve the region design problem of partitioning a region into N nonoverlapping…
The equivalence of reducing transition languages and deterministic languages
The class of reducing transition languages introduced by Eickel, Paul, Bauer, and Samelson was shown by Morris to be a proper superclass of the simple precedence…
Algorithm 483: Masked three-dimensional plot program with rotations
PLOT3D will accept three-dimensional data in various forms, rotate it in three-space, and plot the projection of the resulting figure onto the x-y plane. Those lines or…
A first order approximation to the optimum checkpoint interval
To avoid having to restart a job from the beginning in case of random failure, it is standard practice to save periodically sufficient information to enable the job to be…
This paper modifies an earlier algorithm for converting decision tables into flowcharts which minimize subsequent execution time when compiled into a computer program.…
