    Notes: Abstract Karmarkar's potential function is quasi-convex, but not convex. This note investigates the multiplicative version of the potential function, and shows that it is not necessarily convex in general, but is strictly convex when the corresponding feasible region is bounded. This implies that the multiplicative version of the potential function in Karmarkar's algorithm is convex, since it works on a simplex.

    Notes: Abstract Consider a collection of disjoint polygons in the plane containing a total ofn edges. We show how to build, inO(n 2) time and space, a data structure from which inO(n) time we can compute the visibility polygon of a given point with respect to the polygon collection. As an application of this structure, the visibility graph of the given polygons can be constructed inO(n 2) time and space. This implies that the shortest path that connects two points in the plane and avoids the polygons in our collection can be computed inO(n 2) time, improving earlierO(n 2 logn) results.

    Notes: Abstract In this paper we present a linear-time algorithm for approximating a set ofn points by a linear function, or a line, that minimizes theL 1 norm. The algorithmic complexity of this problem appears not to have been investigated, although anO(n 3) naive algorithm can be easily obtained based on some simple characteristics of an optimumL 1 solution. Our linear-time algorithm is optimal within a constant factor and enables us to use linearL 1 approximation of many points in practice. The complexity ofL 1 linear approximation of a piecewise linear function is also touched upon.

    Notes: A series of mono- and bifunctional polystyrenes (1 c and 1′c) having 1-methylpyrrolidinium salt end groups were prepared through sequential derivatization, i.e., tosylation and quaternization reactions, of prepolymers having 3-hydroxypropyl groups (1 a and 1′a) produced by end-capping reactions of the relevant living polymers. The 1-methylpyrrolidinium salt end group was found to undergo a selective ring-opening reaction at 100°C by nucleophilic attack of a benzoate counter anion introduced by ion-exchange reaction. The ion-coupling reaction of 1 c and 1′c with poly(styrene-co-acrylate salt) was found to take place upon coprecipitation of an equimolar mixture into methanol to afford ionically linked pseudo-graft and network products, respectively. The subsequent heat treatment, converting the ionic bond into a covalent one, results in branched and crosslinked polystyrene with predetermined structural parameters.
