Abstract:

Two new algorithms for Golomb ruler derivation were developed and are presented together with the previously published standard algorithm. One of the new algorithms was used to prove computationally the optimality of three rulers. Two of these were previously proven but yet unpublished, and the authors' independent derivation confirmed these results. The last ruler, of 19 marks and size 246, was known to be near optimal and was computationally proven optimal in this work. Keywords: Golomb Ruler, Algorithm, Parallel Implementation 1 Introduction The term "Golomb Ruler" is derived from the relevant work by Professor Solomon W. Golomb of the University of Southern California [3]. These rulers are numerical sequences or graphs with application in a wide variety of fields including radio communications, x-ray crystallography, coding theory, and radio astronomy. The search for Golomb Rulers requires combinatorial algorithms whose bounds can be shown to grow geometrically with respec...
