  Star height problem - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The star-height problem in formal language theory is the question whether all regular languages can be expressed using regular expressions with a limited nesting depth of Kleene stars.
This theoretical problem remained open for 25 years until it was solved by Kosaburo Hashiguchi.
The answer to all questions is yes: Hashiguchi published an algorithm to determine an expression's star height in 1988.

 Math Forum: Rubric - Coding PoW Problem Difficulty
Finally, problems at the high school level (algebra, geometry, discrete mathematics, trigonometry/calculus) are understood to include work undertaken by students in grades 9-12, and the challenge here is in the level of abstraction and the required synthesis of prior knowledge.
Coding of problem difficulty focuses on the mathematical challenges represented by the problem, the difficulty of the mathematical concept, and the difficulty of mathematical calculations for students at a given level of problem solving.
This problem could be solved by the guess-and-check method, which should be prior knowledge for the student and would ordinarily cause this to be scored as a level 1 problem.

This kind of "leap to generalized conclusion" mentality is old hat for Trekkies; after all, Riker once said that a laser wouldn't even penetrate their navigational deflector, so newsgroup Trekkies leapt up and down in unison, shouting that any laser is useless against any nav deflector, under any circumstances.

One of the worst things about seasickness is that you experience all the ailments directly to the water's motion (persistent nausea, muscle soreness, generalized willingness to die, etc.) as well as a whole new suite of symptoms associated with dehydration (headache, fatigue) and the side effects of seasickness medications (dizziness, drowsiness, blurred vision).
Since seasickness is no longer a problem for me, storms like this can actually be kind of fun, although it can be unnerving to look outside and see nothing but walls of water on every side.

We have calculated the evolution of neutron stars surrounded by a supernova fallback disk, with an improved estimate of the torque exerted by the disk and the time dependence of the mass transfer rate.
In their simulations, however, the neutron star was modeled by a sink particle with the size of the Roche lobe, so no direct comparison with the observed X-ray data was possible.

Second, he generalized his theory: he realized that the same laws that apply here on earth must also apply to the movement of the celestial bodies, and this is how he managed to explain the tides: as an earthly effect of celestial bodies.

Hale responded that since no stars are visible during daylight, the only way they could measure it was during a solar eclipse; at that time the sun's light is blocked, and the stars in the sky are easily detected then.

 Quantum Theory
The quantum postulate immediately solves the problem of the fl-body spectrum; radiation with increasingly short (ultra-violet) wavelength is incorrectly predicted by classical physics to make an increasingly large contribution to the energy loss.
In general, the probability distribution of the quantum particle shows it to be anything but a point particle when it is in its virtual state.
This is the tremendous generalization of quantum mechanics over classical mechanics: in the latter the classical particle takes only one definite physical path in evolving from its initial to its final position, whereas in quantum mechanics the 'particle' propagates probabilistically and takes all possible virtual paths from it's observed initial to its final position.

 Generalized star height problem   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
The generalized star-height problem in formal language theory is the open question whether all regular languages defined by regular expressions that include the complement operator can be expressed using regular expressions (possibly including the complement operator) with a limited nesting depth of Kleene stars.
Specifically, it is an open question whether a nesting depth of more than 2 is required, and if so, whether it is possible to determine how many are required.
