In this article, we analyze the relationship between the measure of disorder \(\mathit{Amp}\), which I introduced a while ago, and another measure of disorder: \(\mathit{Mono}\), the number of monotonic runs into which a sequence can be decomposed.

Analog literals Analog literals are a cute C++ gadget proposed by Eelis in the seminal article Multi-Dimensional Analog Literals.

In the very first post of this blog, I described a new measure of disorder which I called \(\mathit{Amp}\).

In the first part of this series, we analyzed different techniques used to compare measures of disorder and to construct a partial order thereof.

Shortly after computer scientists had proposed their first few measures of disorder, they started feeling an urge to show that their favourite measure was different from existing ones, and that they could actually come up with a single measure that was be…

In this article, we analyze the relationship between the measure of disorder \(\mathit{Amp}\), which I introduced a while ago, and the classic measure of presortedness \(\mathit{Runs}\), the number of ascending runs in a sequence.

In a previous article, I introduced a new measure of disorder that I called \(\mathit{Amp}\), and attempted to determine whether it was a measure of presortedness.

In a previous article, I introduced a new measure of disorder that I called \(\mathit{Amp}\) and attempted to determine whether it is a measure of presortedness (it is not).

std::flip is a little-known utility from the C++ standard library header <functional>: it is a higher-order function that accepts a Callable and returns an equivalent Callable with the order of its parameters reversed (or “flipped”).

Introduction This article is just a quick note about an observation I made today, so I intend to keep it short.
