Algorithmic specified complexity,

The following formula for algorithmic specified complexity (ASC) combines the measurement of specification and complexity. 

This random sequence has a high bound of algorithmic specified complexity. It is important to remember that the ASC bound only serves to measure the plausibifity of the random model. It does not exclude the existence of another more accurate model that explains the data. In this case, using the actual probabihty model used to generate the message yields... 

In other card games, a card is turned over after hands have been dealt to determine trump. The suit of the card is taken to trump for that round of the game. If the same suit is repeatedly chosen as trump, someone may ask what the odds are for that to occur. This question can be difficult to answer because every possible sequence of trump suits is equally likely. Yet, it is deemed unusual that the same suit is a trump repeatedly. Algorithmic specified complexity allows this to be modeled. 

Kirk Durston et al. have defined the idea of functional sequence complexity (Durston, Chiu, Abel, Trevors, 2007). Functional sequence complexity is related to a special case of algorithmic specified complexity. 

But are compressible objects amenable to explanation by simple processes Do all compressible objects lack complexity If this were true, it would be problematic for algorithmic specified complexity because all specified objects would also not be complex, and no object would ever be both specified and complex. But many compressible objects do not appear amenable to explanation by a simple process. 

Computer solutions entail setting up component equiUbrium and component mass and enthalpy balances around each theoretical stage and specifying the required design variables as well as solving the large number of simultaneous equations required. The expHcit solution to these equations remains too complex for present methods. Studies to solve the mathematical problem by algorithm or iterational methods have been successflil and, with a few exceptions, the most complex distillation problems can be solved. 

By and large the theoretical framework for evaluating profile shapes is well established and has led to a better understanding of the choice of operating parameters. It has been particularly helpful in generating proximity effect algorithms in order to specify exposure requirements for complex geometries (see ref. 39 for a review of proximity correction procedures). 

The computer program for the material balance contains several parts. First, a description ofeach item of equipment in terms of the input and output flows and the stream conditions. Quite complicated mathematical models may be required in order to relate the input and output conditions (i.e. performance) of complex units. It is necessary to specify the order in which the equipment models will be solved, simple equipment such as mixers are dealt with initially. This is followed by the actual solution of the equations. The ordering may result in each equation having only one unknown and iteration becomes unnecessary. It may be necessary to solve sets of linear equations, or if the equations are non-linear a suitable algorithm applying some form of numerical iteration is required. 

The process of extracting rules from a trained network can be made much easier if the complexity of the network has first been reduced. Furthermore, it is expected that fewer connections will result in more concise rules. Setiono (1997a) described an algorithm for extracting rules from a pruned network. The network was a standard three-layer feedforward back-propagation network trained with a pre-specified accuracy rate. The pruning process attempted to eliminate as many connections as possible while maintaining the accuracy rate.
