To get a high h-index you have to be put in the references of other papers which I doubt will happen if the paper is not what it is promising.<br /><br />Igor.Igorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17474880327699002140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6141980.post-467727598784963642012-11-21T11:39:46.339-06:002012-11-21T11:39:46.339-06:00Hi,

It reminds me the size of a direct-mapped cache. <br /><br />4) I guess his work is in fact about the arxiv algorithm and indexation.<br /><br />Very nice one for 3141592 :)<br /><br />Nico.<br /><br />Nicolas Cusseauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09668083353752917843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6141980.post-59310960522109823732012-11-19T14:16:56.258-06:002012-11-19T14:16:56.258-06:00Njh,
