Talk:Golomb ruler

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This page doesn't answer a query of mine.

Ok I can see it being used with large arrays of telescopes, but are there (or is there planned) arrays of 25 telescopes? I guess what I'm trying to ask is is there a need to find Golomb rulers of such high orders? I'm assuming there is if distributed.net is putting power behind it, but there is no clear reason on that either.

[edit] Perfect rulers in table

The table says it contains all optimal rulers of a given order: maybe someone with more time to spare than I have right now could check which ones are perfect and come up with a way of distinguishing them? —Phil | Talk 08:59, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

It has been proven that no perfect Golomb ruler exists for five or more ticks., as we only list one ruler for each of 4 and below, I think it's clear. :) --Gmaxwell 00:06, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Name conflict on "OGR"

As of 20:29, 22 September 2006 (UTC), OGR links to this page. However, I suggest replacing the redirect page with a disambiguation page, because OGR can also refer to several other things. See: google:OGR. Examples: the OGR library which comes with GDAL/OGR; International Order of the Golden Rule; Online Gaming Resource; Office of Government Relations. — Teratornis 20:29, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

I have created a new disambiguation page at OGR. --Ghewgill 01:00, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
