Abstract: Computer programming was and, in many cases, still is an art rather than a science. Programs are often written without the benefit of any design theory, analysis techniques, or awareness of what others in the field have done. Recently, however, a systematic body of knowledge concerning the design, analysis, and implementation of computer algorithms has begun to emerge. This paper highlights some current developments in this field and shows how proper design techniques can lead to order-of-magnitude improvements in program performance.

An Approach to the Assignment of Canonical Connection Tables and Topological Symmetry Perception
Craig A. Shelley,Morton E. Munk +1 more
TL;DR: Important principles in designing algorithms for topological symmetry perception,vertex-classification, depth-first construction of sequence number permutations, and the use of automorphisms to restrict the construction process are presented.

Characterization of molecular complexity
Milan Randić,Dejan Plavšić +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a novel index of molecular complexity, ξ, was proposed, taking into account the symmetry of a molecular graph and the specificity of structural components considered. But the ξ index is defined as the sum of augmented valences of all mutually nonequivalent vertices.

Symmetry properties of chemical graphs. V. Internal rotation in XY⋅3XY⋅2XY3
TL;DR: In this article, the symmetry of groups of order 144 is discussed and a procedure is outlined in which correspondence between distinctive combinatorial objects is established by inducing permutations of m elements from available permutations for n elements.
