Abstract: This paper studies the control-oriented recursive identification of finite impulse response systems with binary-valued observations. Inspired by the Maximum Likelihood method, a novel ...

Community driven content discussing all aspects of software development from DevOps to design patterns. Good programmers need to create code that efficiently solves problems, using various methods. A ...

Abstract: We observe that the computational inefficiency of branched recursive functions was not appropriately covered in almost all textbooks for computer science courses in the first three years of ...

To understand recursion, you must first understand recursion. You may think of recursion as a programming structure where a function calls itself. We call such a function a recursive function. Many ...

Say you’re at a party with nine other people and everyone shakes everyone else’s hand exactly once. How many handshakes take place? This is the “handshake problem,” and it’s one of my favorites. As a ...

Java is an object-oriented programming language. To create objects and meaningfully initialize them, a developer must use a Java constructor. Constructors are a critical part of software development ...

Java is not the language it used to be, and that is mostly a good thing. Here are eleven ways Java is evolving to meet the challenges of the future. Is Java ancient yet? The kind of programming ...

Some strange mathematical sequences are always whole numbers — until they’re not. The puzzling patterns have revealed ties to graph theory and prime numbers, awing mathematicians. Simple, yes, but ...
