|
Essentially, a Golomb Ruler is a mathematical term given to a set
|
|
|
|
|
of whole numbers where no two pairs of numbers have the same
|
|
|
|
|
difference. An Optimal Golomb Ruler (OGR) is just like an everyday
|
|
|
|
|
ruler, except that the marks are placed so that no two pairs of
|
|
|
|
|
marks measure the same distance. OGR's have many uses in the real
|
|
|
|
|
world; for more information about them and the status of the project,
