alternating sequence
1Sequence stratigraphy — is a relatively new branch of geology that attempts to link relative sea level changes to sedimentary deposits. The essence of the method is mapping of strata based on identification of surfaces which represent time lines (e.g. subaerial… …
2Alternating bit protocol — (ABP) means a simple data link layer network protocol that retransmits lost or corrupted messages.Messages are sent from transmitter A to receiver B. Assume that the channel from A to B is initialized and that there are no messages in transit.… …
3Alternating series — In mathematics, an alternating series is an infinite series of the form:sum {n=0}^infty ( 1)^n,a n,with an ≥ 0 (or an ≤ 0) for all n . A finite sum of this kind is an alternating sum. An alternating series converges if the terms an converge to 0… …
4Alternating knot — In knot theory, a link diagram is alternating if the crossings alternate under, over, under, over, as you travel along each component of the link. A link is alternating if it has an alternating diagram.Many of the knots with crossing number less… …
5Alternating series test — The alternating series test is a method used to prove that infinite series of terms converge. It was discovered by Gottfried Leibniz and is sometimes known as Leibniz s test or Leibniz criterion.A series of the form:sum {n=1}^infty a n(… …
6sequence — /see kweuhns/, n., v., sequenced, sequencing. n. 1. the following of one thing after another; succession. 2. order of succession: a list of books in alphabetical sequence. 3. a continuous or connected series: a sonnet sequence. 4. something that… …
7Alternating step generator — In cryptography, an alternating step generator (ASG) is a cryptographic pseudorandom number generator intended to be used in a stream cipher. The design was published in 1987 by C. G. Günther. It is also known as the alternating stop and go… …
8Alternating permutation — In combinatorial mathematics, an alternating permutation of the set {1, 2, 3, ..., n } is an arrangement of those numbers into an order c 1, ..., c n such that no element c i is between c i − 1 and c i + 1 for any value of i and c 1 lt; c 2.Let A …
9Davenport–Schinzel sequence — In combinatorics, a Davenport–Schinzel sequence is a sequence of symbols in which the number of times any two symbols may appear in alternation is limited. The maximum possible length of a Davenport–Schinzel sequence is bounded by the number of… …
10Absaroka sequence — The Absaroka sequence was a cratonic sequence that extended from the end of the Mississippian through the Permian periods. It is the unconformity between this sequence and the preceding Kaskaskia that divides the Carboniferous into the… …
