Ludwig Lachmann famously stressed that expectations are inherently subjective, resulting in the phenomenon of divergent expectations, i.e., differing interpretations of market conditions on the part of market participants; a phenomenon that, coupled with the ceaseless change characterizing market data, greatly undermines the presence of any process of error correction on the marketplace. This p...

In this paper we determine the minimal number of yes–no queries that are needed to nd an unknown integer between 1 and N , if at most three of the answers are lies. This strategy is also an optimal adaptive strategy for binary three-error-correcting codes. c © 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

In this article, we determine the number of yes/no questions required to figure out a birthday (a number between 0 and 31) when up to r incorrect answers to these questions are allowed. In the language of error-correcting codes, we construct optimal (shortest possible length) codes of size 32 and minimal distance d for each positive integer d .

A new heterodyne nano-displacement with error reduction is presented. The main errors affecting the displacement accuracy of the nano-displacement measurement system including intermodulation distortion error, cross-talk error, cross-polarization error and phase detection error are calculated. In the designed system, a He-Ne laser having three-longitudinal-mode is considered as the stabiliz...

Video coding standards have incorporated various error resilience and error concealment tools, yet data losses during video transmission in mobile systems still pose big challenges. Here an approach for error resilience in the application layer is proposed, employing SEC (second error control) with ECC (error correction coding) and some simulation results are presented.

A posteriori error estimators based on quasi-norm gradient recovery are established for the finite element approximation of the p-Laplacian on unstructured meshes. The new a posteriori error estimators provide both upper and lower bounds in the quasi-norm for the discretization error. The main tools for the proofs of reliability are approximation error estimates for a local approximation operat...

The early error detection capabilities of syntaxdriven parsers are studied. The classes of weak precedence and simple mixed-strategy precedence parsers are chosen as the object of study. Very similar techniques could be used to obtain related results for other classes of syntax-driven parsers. We investigate whether the correct-prefix and the viable-prefix properties can be enforced within thes...

curvature. The boundary of an object is first represented into curvature measured by K-cosine. Then, by modifying the corner detection error, this study proposes a suitable K value and curvature threshold for robust corner detection. Furthermore, the proposed K-cosine corner detection (KCD) was verified with several commonly employed digital objects. The experimental results reveal that the pro...
