Indulgent Algorithms

Rachid Guerraoui

Informally, an indulgent algorithm is a distributed algorithm that tolerates unreliable failure detection: the algorithm is indulgent towards its failure detector. This paper formally characterizes such algorithms and states some of their interesting featu ...

Influence of periodic concentration variations on the product distribution during the oxidation of hydrocarbons

Albert Renken

The influence of forced concn. variations on the oxidn. of hydrocarbons over a Pt gauze catalyst was examd. The period was varied between 0 and 120 sec. The periodic method of operation avoided temp. problems occurring at high conversions under stationary ...
