We give an asymptotically optimal algorithm of search for an unknown element in a finite set under the assumption that at most one error can occur in every sequence of \(r\) consecutive answers, where \(r \geqslant 3\) is a constant.

Recent studies have shown that composite forecasting produces superior forecasts when compared to individual forecasts. This paper extends the existing literature by employing linear constraints and robust regression techniques in composite model building. Security analysts forecasts may be improved
Loosely speaking, a greedy linear extension of an ordered set is a linear extension obtained by following the rule: "climb as high as you can". Given an ordered set P and a partial extension P' of P is there a greedy linear extension of P which satisfies all of the inequalities of P'? We consider sp
Studies of combined forecasts have typically constrained the combining weights to sum to one and have not included a constant term in the combination. In a recent paper, Granger and Ramanathan (1984) have argued in favour of an unrestricted linear combination, including a constant term. This paper s
This note extends some recent results, achieved by Clemen, on constraining the weights of a combined forecast. There is a great potential for improving the ordinary least squares forecast by imposing linear restrictions, and it will be shown how this potential can be exhausted by using an F-test. Th
Gi¨en a null-filled radiation power pattern to be synthesized by a linear antenna array, optimally realizable excitation distributions satisfying the requirements of being symmetric or in phase can be found by means of a genetic algorithm approach.
