The article reports on finding all subgraphs of an undirected graph [H]. A maximal complete subgraph is also called clique which refers to a complete subgraph that is not included in any other complete subgraph. According to the authors, a research paper was released wherein descriptions of techniques to find maximal complete subgraphs are provided. The authors discussed two algorithms using a branch-and-bound technique so that there will be no clique. The first algorithm produces cliques in lexicographic order while the second is derived from the first algorithm.

Presents several letters to the editor about the computing machinery. Dissatisfaction with the quality and nature of the average technical paper presented at the Joint Computer Conferences; Comment on the article "One-Pass Compilation of Arithmetic Expressions for a Parallel Processor," by Harold S. Stone; Use of a coordinate system or characteristic indices for the progress of an algorithm.

Presents the author's comments on the paper "A Multiple-Precision Division Algorithm," by C.J. Mifsud, published in the November 1970 issue of the journal "Communications of the ACM." Account of difficulties that arises with the programming and implementation of the algorithm described in the paper; Avoidance of the possibility of overflow in the calculation of trial cipher; Solution to the problems the algorithm described in the paper; Suggestions for additional informative statements that should be inserted in the original algorithm.

Neely has discussed computational error generated by some algorithms used to compute various statistics. In the present paper methods are described which are error-free, simple in concept, and usually less costly in machine time than those mentioned by Neely. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
