Smarandache Sequences: Explorations and Discoveries with a Computer Algebra System
We study Smarandache sequences of numbers, and related problems, via a
Computer Algebra System. Solutions are discovered, and some conjectures
presented.Comment: To appear in the 2003 December issue of the Smarandache Notions

Applications of computer communications in education.
Applications of computer communications can be used in many ways in education. An overview is given of a number of categories of computer communications applications in learning-related activities. Particular attention is given to a new type of system called a course-support environment. In this type of system a database is integrated with Web-based tools and applications, and used to generate a course-support environment accessed via a standard Web browser. Some examples are given. The article moves on to an overview of various issues confronting the acceptance of computer communication systems in educational settings, and indicates some of the ways in which computer communications engineers will have to deal with those issue
Measurement-based reliability prediction methodology
In the past, analytical and measurement based models were developed to characterize computer system behavior. An open issue is how these models can be used, if at all, for system design improvement. The issue is addressed here. A combined statistical/analytical approach to use measurements from one environment to model the system failure behavior in a new environment is proposed. A comparison of the predicted results with the actual data from the new environment shows a close correspondence
Generalized power expansions in cosmology
It is given an algorithm to obtain generalized power asymptotic expansions of
the solutions of the Einstein equations arising for several homogeneous
cosmological models. This allows to investigate their behavior near the initial
singularity or for large times. An implementation of this algorithm in the CAS
system Maple V Release 4 is described and detailed calculations for three
equations are shown.Comment: 22 pages, LaTeX, elsart.sty. To be published in Computer Physics

Quantum computing and information extraction for a dynamical quantum system
We discuss the simulation of a complex dynamical system, the so-called
quantum sawtooth map model, on a quantum computer. We show that a quantum
computer can be used to efficiently extract relevant physical information for
this model. It is possible to simulate the dynamical localization of classical
chaos and extract the localization length of the system with quadratic speed up
with respect to any known classical computation. We can also compute with
algebraic speed up the diffusion coefficient and the diffusion exponent both in
the regimes of Brownian and anomalous diffusion. Finally, we show that it is
possible to extract the fidelity of the quantum motion, which measures the
stability of the system under perturbations, with exponential speed up.Comment: 11 pages, 5 figures, submitted to Quantum Information Processing,
