Tice B.S. Compression techniques for polymer sciences

Woodhead Publishing India Pvt. Ltd., 2015. — 159 p. — ISBN13: 9789380308982The monograph addresses the use of algorithmic complexity to perform compression on polymer strings to reduce the redundant quality while keeping the numerical quality intact. A description of the types of polymers and their uses are followed by a chapter on various types of compression systems that can be used to compress polymer chains into manageable units. The work is intended for graduate and post-graduate university students in the physical sciences and engineering.Polymers
