Transmission (Store and Forward) Delay
Question Detail: The Kurose & Ross book uses “store-and-forward delay” as a synonym for the transmission delay of a packet over a network link. As a newcomer to computer networks, it isn’t immediately obvious to me how these two terms are Read More …

Practical application of Finite State Machines
Question Detail: I am looking for practical applications of Finite State Machines like DFA, NFA, Moore, Mealy machines… It would be helpful if someone point to examples from Linux Kernel. I know that DFA is used in string matching like KMP Read More …
Find all intervals that overlap with a given interval
Question Detail: Note: I moved this question from stackoverflow.com I have an algorithmic problem where I would like to see if it can be solved in better than $O(n)$: I have given a table $T$ of $n$ elements where each element Read More …
Formal program verification in practice
Question Detail: As a software engineer, I write a lot of code for industrial products. Relatively complicated stuff with classes, threads, some design efforts, but also some compromises for performance. I do a lot of testing, and I am tired of Read More …
How to prove NP-hardness of a longest-path problem?
Question Detail: I have this question: Input: G(V, E) = an undirected graph, V={v1, v2, …, vn} (V = set of nodes, E = set of edges) where there is a path connecting from v1 to vn. Question: What is the Read More …
Why do we not combine random number generators?
Question Detail: There are many applications where a pseudo random number generator is used. So people implement one that they think is great only to find later that it’s flawed. Something like this happened with the Javascript random number generator recently. Read More …
Graph Has Two / Three Different Minimal Spanning Trees?
Question Detail: I’m trying to find an efficient method of detecting whether a given graph G has two different minimal spanning trees. I’m also trying to find a method to check whether it has 3 different minimal spanning trees. The naive Read More …
