AN INVESTIGATION OF SEQUENTIAL SEARCH ALGORITHMS

Abstract

Characterizations of sequential search processes and algorithms are developed. Representative sequential search algorithms are reviewed and interpreted within the framework of these characterizations in several fields including equipment diagnosis, signal encoding, radar systems, coin weighing, and human decision processes. Conclusions and recommendations for application are presented. Appendixes include selected mathematical techniques in programming and information theoretic search procedures, analyses of scoring systems, and a bibliography.
