Abstract

An efficient algorithm is described for generating subsets of a set S which satisfy constraints of the form: “If si is a member of the subset, then sj must also be a member of the subset.” The algorithm has been programmed in the WISP language and successfully run on the IBM 7094 in connection with a routine to detect feedback in multidimensional iterative networks.
