dc.description.abstract | ENGLISH ABSTRACT : Approximate Counting is a classical technique with very challenging questions re- lated to its performance analysis. It is also somewhat similar to parameters around Digital Search trees. Surprising links to q-analysis and the theory of partitions exist. The author has contributed to the analysis during the last decades; the relevant pa- pers have been collected in this thesis. Some emphasis is on a recent development, namely, to introduce a parameter m (m counters instead of one). | en_ZA |
dc.description.abstract | AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING : Benaderde Aftelling is 'n klassieke tegniek met baie uitdagende vrae in verband met sy prestasie-analise. Dit is ook verwant aan parameters van digitale soekbome. Daar bestaan 'n verrassende verband met q-analise en die teorie van partisies. Die outeur het in die afgelope dekades tot hierdie analise bygedra; die relevante artikels is in hierdie tesis versamel. Klem word getoon op 'n onlangse ontwikkeling, naamlik om 'n parameter m (m tellers in plaas van een) by te voeg. | af_ZA |
