On the median-of- version of Hoare’s selection algorithm
On the median-of-k version of Hoare's selection algorithm
In Hoare's (1961) original version of the algorithm the partitioning element in the central divide-and-conquer step is chosen uniformly at random from the set S in question. Here we consider a variant where this element is the median of a sample of size 2k+1 from S. We investigate convergence in distribution of the number of comparisons required and obtain a simple explicit result for the limiting average performance of the median-of-three version.

On the operations over relations in the relational model data with two types of null values.
On the size of transducers for bidirectional decoding of prefix codes
In a previous paper [L. Giambruno and S. Mantaci, Theoret. Comput. Sci. 411 (2010) 1785–1792] a bideterministic transducer is defined for the bidirectional deciphering of words by the method introduced by Girod [IEEE Commun. Lett. 3 (1999) 245–247]. Such a method is defined using prefix codes. Moreover a coding method, inspired by the Girod’s one, is introduced, and a transducer that allows both right-to-left and left-to-right decoding by this method is defined. It is proved also that this transducer...

On the stack-size of general tries
Digital trees or tries are a general purpose flexible data structure that implements dictionaries built on words. The present paper is focussed on the average-case analysis of an important parameter of this tree-structure, i.e., the stack-size. The stack-size of a tree is the memory needed by a storage-optimal preorder traversal. The analysis is carried out under a general model in which words are produced by a source (in the information-theoretic sense) that emits symbols. Under some natural assumptions...

Picture languages in automatic radiological palm interpretation
The paper presents a new technique for cognitive analysis and recognition of pathological wrist bone lesions. This method uses AI techniques and mathematical linguistics allowing us to automatically evaluate the structure of the said bones, based on palm radiological images. Possibilities of computer interpretation of selected images, based on the methodology of automatic medical image understanding, as introduced by the authors, were created owing to the introduction of an original relational description...
