Interleaved snowballing: Reducing the workload of literature curators

Ralf Stephan

We formally define the literature (reference) snowballing method and present a refined version of it. We show that the improved algorithm can substantially reduce curator work, eve…

Divide-and-conquer generating functions. Part I. Elementary sequences

Ralf Stephan

Divide-and-conquer functions satisfy equations in F(z),F(z^2),F(z^4)... Their generated sequences are mainly used in computer science, and they were analyzed pragmatically, that is…
