An algorithm of the ensemble pulsar time based on the Wiener filtration method has been constructed. This algorithm has allowed the separation of the contributions of an atomic clock and a pulsar itself to the post-fit pulsar timing…
The problem of the Nature of Time is twofold: whether or not time is a fundamental quantity of Nature, and how does clock time of metrology emerge in the experimental description of dynamics. This work strongly supports the fundamental…
In the paper, elements of the system theory of time are presented, mathematical models for time are constructed, and various properties are deduced from the main principles of the system theory of time. This theory is a far-reaching…
We propose and test an iterative technique for improving the temporal focusing of a time reversal mirror. A single amplification parameter is introduced to tune the convergence of the iteration. The tunable iterative technique is validated…
With disks and networks providing gigabytes per second, parsing decimal numbers from strings becomes a bottleneck. We consider the problem of parsing decimal numbers to the nearest binary floating-point value. The general problem requires…
The clock synchronization problem is to determine the time difference T between two spatially separated parties. We improve on I. Chuang's quantum clock synchronization algorithm and show that it is possible to obtain T to n bits of…
Logical clocks are a fundamental tool to establish causal ordering of events in a distributed system. They have been applied in weakly consistent storage systems, causally ordered broadcast, distributed snapshots, deadlock detection, and…
Many consensus string problems are based on Hamming distance. We replace Hamming distance by the more flexible (e.g., easily coping with different input string lengths) dynamic time warping distance, best known from applications in time…
This work focuses on the generation of a composite clock for time scales and shows the advantages of a more recent digital approach with respect to a traditional analog one. A digital approach directly processes the information contained…
Tasks that one wishes to have done by a computer often come with conditions that relate to timescales. For instance, the processing must terminate within a given time limit; or a signal processing computer must integrate input information…
We study some limit theorems for the law of a generalized one-dimensional diffusion weighted and normalized by a non-negative function of the local time evaluated at a parametrized family of random times (which we will call a clock). As the…
In the random deletion channel, each bit is deleted independently with probability $p$. For the random deletion channel, the existence of codes of rate $(1-p)/9$, and thus bounded away from $0$ for any $p < 1$, has been known. We give an…
A dual approach to defining the triangle sequence (a type of multidimensional continued fraction algorithm, initially developed in NT/9906016) for a pair of real numbers is presented, providing a new, clean geometric interpretation of the…
We introduce a general notion of fractional (noninteger) derivative for functions defined on arbitrary time scales. The basic tools for the time-scale fractional calculus (fractional differentiation and fractional integration) are then…
There are a number of problematic features within the current treatment of time in physical theories, including the "timelessness" of the Universe as encapsulated by the Wheeler-DeWitt equation. This paper considers one particular…
An algorith to count, or alternatively generate, all k-element transversals of a set system is presented and compared with three known methods. For special cases it works in output-linear time.
For every fixed $d \in \mathbb{N}$, we design a data structure that represents a binary $n \times n$ matrix that is $d$-twin-ordered. The data structure occupies $O_d(n)$ bits, which is the least one could hope for, and can be queried for…
In this paper, a digital clock is designed where the microcontroller is used for timing controller and the font of the Bangla digits are designed, and programmed within the microcontroller. The design is cost effective, simple and easy for…
Time and its lack of play a central role in our everyday lives. Despite increasing productivity, many people experience time stress, exhaustion and a longing for time affluence, and at the same time, a fear of not being busy enough. All…
We present numerical simulations of binary black hole systems which for the first time last for about one orbital period for close but still separate black holes as indicated by the absence of a common apparent horizon. An important part of…
