A Necessary Condition on the Collatz Conjecture

The Collatz conjecture implies that an iterated function sequence under a certain linear operator, beginning with a certain complex valued function, must converge to a certain complex function.

State Vector Determination By A Single Tracking Satellite

Using only a single tracking satellite capable of only range measurements to an orbiting object in an unknown Keplerian orbit, it is theoretically possible to calculate the orbit and a current state vector. In this paper we derive an algorithm that can perform this calculation.

Distributions of Roots of Reduced Cubic Equations with Random Coefficients

If the coefficients of polynomials are selected by some random process, the zeros of the resulting polynomials are in some sense random. In this paper the author rephrases the above in more precise language, and calculates the joint conditional densities of a random vector whose values determine almost surely the zeros of a "random" reduced cubic.

Consistency Spaces

We introduce the concept of a consistency space. The idea of the consistency space is motivated by the question, Given only the collection of sets of sentences which are logically consistent, is it possible to reconstruct their lattice structure?

A homotopy method for finding eigenvalues and eigenvectors

Suppose we want to find the eigenvalues and eigenvectors for the linear operator L, and suppose that we have solved this problem for some other "nearby" operator K. In this paper we show how to represent the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of L in terms of the corresponding properties of K.

The General Form Of Cyclic Orthonormal Generators In R^N

In this paper we give a definition of cyclic orthonormal generators (cogs) in R^N. We give a general canonical form for their expression. Further, we give an explicit formula for computing the canonical form of any given cog.

Optimal Synthesis of Multiple Algorithms

In this paper we give a definition of "algorithm," "finite algorithm," "equivalent algorithms," and what it means for a single algorithm to dominate a set of algorithms. We define a derived algorithm which may have a smaller mean execution time than any of its component algorithms. We give an explicit expression for the mean execution time (when it exists) of the derived algorithm. We give several illustrative examples of derived algorithms with two component algorithms. We include mean execution time solutions for two-algorithm processors whose joint density of execution times are of several general forms. For the case in which the joint density for a two-algorithm processor is a step function, we give a maximum-likelihood estimation scheme with which to analyze empirical processing time data.
