Talk:Sieve of Sundaram

message: I think the statement that 2 is "the only even prime" (== "the only prime divisible by 2") is a bit of a joke. After all, that's equivalent to stating "17 is the only prime divisible by 17."  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.176.69.185 (talk) 07:58, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Odd vs. Even Primes 

message: FYI this just came out:  Sundaram's Sieve--Billymac00 (talk) 02:43, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  recent online article 

message: The sieve of Eratosthenes crosses out multiples of remaining primes. Such as stated here multiples of all odd numbers are crossed out. So either the description is incorrect, or the statement of equivalence is.  [This has some bearing on the complexity issue too.]
A straightforward optimisation of the SoE is to have the sieve only contain odd numbers. That would be an "easy exercise for the reader", not notable or worth a patent. It would be notable if found in the 8th century by a Chinese scolar. 1934 and India, I doubt, but apparently it is present in the literature and must be included in Wikipedia on that account.

thread_title:  Equivalent to Eratosthenes? 

message: I've written some pseudocode for the algorithm, based on Sieve of Atkin#Pseudocode, and submit it to the public domain here:
// arbitrary search limit
limit ← (999999-1)÷2
// initialize the sieve
is_2np1_prime(n) ← true, ∀ n ∈ [1, limit]
// eliminate numbers of the form (i+j+2ij)
for i in [1, limit]
    for j in [1, i]    // should this be; [i, limit]?
        n ← i+j+2ij
        if (n ≤ limit):
            is_2np1_prime(n) ← false // 2n+1 is composite
// output the list of primes up to (limit×2+1)
print 2
for n in [1, limit]:
    if is_2np1_prime(n): print 2n+1
Personally I think it is easier to follow in this form than the textual description.
I'd like to recommend it be included in the article, subject to any corrections/clarifications anyone wants to make. (Feel free to make changes inline.) - CountingPine (talk) 02:16, 28 August 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Pseudocode of the algorithm 

message: 1. It would be better if this article followed the presentation in Honsberger's book more closely.  The idea is explained more clearly there, almost without formulas.
2. There seems to be a lot of original research in the later parts of this article, with all the homemade computer code and so on.
3. Sundaram's algorithm effectively sieves using all odd numbers, not just the primes, so it is definitely slower asymptotically than the odds-only variant of the sieve of Eratosthenes (which dates back to the original, as explained at its Wikipedia page).

Talk:South Carolina Declaration of Secession

message: I made a couple changes that I think were justified by the actual text of the declaration.  I clarified that the text itslef centered more around Constitutional provisions than the Fugitive Slave Act (which was simply an act of Congress upholding the Constitutional requirement).
Also, the paragraph on states' rights seemed misleading and biased.  I hope my revision isn't seen as distorting anything.  I tried to summarize the argument made in the declaration itself.  I don't see anywhere in the declaration that actually complains that the federal government failed to compel states to return slaves.  I also don't see an explicit contradiction in the text.  Primarily it states that the Constitution was a compact among sovereign states.  That compact required certain things of the states.  The northern states failed to fulfill their obligations, so SC was reclaiming its sovereignty by withdrawing from the compact.
I think the wording of the paragraphs is still a little clumsy and could stand some more revision.  But overall, I think my revision more accurately explains the actual text of the declaration than did the original.

Talk:1897 FA Cup final

replies: text: Hiya DC, I've just spent some time looking into this for you and I say you're right about this. The FA website states that the final was played on the 10th of April 1897 ( see for yourself  ), while the list of matches with dates I've uncovered  categorically states there was no Villa match on that day. Assuming what I've found is accurate ( I know as much about football as the average hamster ), you're right and that piece of rubbish should get snipped. --Nanobot recurve (talk) 17:31, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Villa played (and won) three games that season after the cup final, thus gaining 6 points of their 11-point winning margin. It's perfectly reasonable that results in other games played on the day of the Cup Final (league football was played on Cup Final day in those days) could have confirmed that no team could make up the gap, even if Villa gained no points from their remaining games. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 18:05, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: In fact, looking at the results on your link, it probably is true. Looks like Derby were the only team still close enough to overtake them. Villa had 41 points going in to Cup Final day, Derby had 34 with 4 games left, i.e. 7 points behind Villa with a possible 8 available. However Derby lost on Cup Final day, leaving them still 7 points adrift but with only 6 now available and thus mathematically unable to catch them. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 18:51, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
