A skew heap or self adjusting heap is a heap data structure heap data structure implemented as a binary tree . Skew heaps are advantageous because of their ability to merge more quickly than binary heaps. In contrast with binary heap s, there are no structural constraints, so there is no guarantee that the height of the tree is logarithmic. Only two conditions must be satisfied The general heap order must be enforced Every operation add, remove min, merge on two skew heaps must be done using a special skew heap merge . A skew heap is a self adjusting form of a leftist tree leftist heap which attempts to maintain balance by unconditionally swapping all nodes in the merge path when merging two heaps. The merge operation is also used when adding and removing values. With no structural constraints, it may seem that a skew heap would be horribly inefficient. However, amortized analysis amortized complexity analysis can be used to demonstrate that all operations on a skew heap can be done in O log n . ref http www.cse.yorku.ca andy courses 4101 lecture notes LN5.pdf ref Definition Skew heaps may be described with the following recursive definition A heap with only one element is a skew heap.

Skew is a term used in antenna radio antenna engineering . It is a technique to improve the horizontal radiation pattern of a high power transmitter station . In a high power VHF or UHF station, usually the antenna system is constructed to broadcast to four directions each separated 90 from each other. So the directivity of the antenna system resembles a four leaf clover . While settlements within the main lobe receive enough energy, the energy received by the settlements between the main lobes may be 6 dB less. One popular method to solve the problem is to skew the antenna panels symmetrically around the central axis of the mast. ref R.Busi High altitude VHF and UHF Broadcasting stations , EBU technical center, Brussels, 1967 p 25 ref Usually a skew of 4 gives the desired almost uniform horizontal radiation pattern.

In game theory , a symmetric game is a game where the payoffs for playing a particular strategy depend only on the other strategies employed, not on who is playing them. If one can change the identities of the players without changing the payoff to the strategies, then a game is symmetric. Symmetry can come in different varieties. Ordinally symmetric games are games that are symmetric with respect to the ordinal structure of the payoffs. A game is quantitatively symmetric if and only if symmetric with respect to the exact payoffs. Symmetry in 2x2 games border 1 align right cellpadding 4 cellspacing 0 style margin 1em 1em 1em 0 background f9f9f9 border 1px aaa solid border collapse collapse font size 95 E F E a, a b, c F c, b d, d Only 12 out the 144 ordinally distinct 2x2 game s are symmetric. However, many of the commonly studied 2x2 games are at least ordinally symmetric. The standard representations of game of chicken chicken , the Prisoner s Dilemma , and the Stag hunt are all symmetric games. Formally, in order for a 2x2 game to be symmetric, its payoff matrix must conform to the schema pictured to the right. The requirements for a game to be ordinally symmetric are weaker, there it need only be the case that the ordinal ranking of the payoffs conform to the schema on the right.

In combinatorics combinatorial mathematics , a symmetric design is a block design with equal numbers of points and blocks. Thus, it has the fewest possible blocks given the number of points by Fisher s inequality . They have also been referred to as projective designs ref name assmus or square designs . ref These alternatives have been used in an attempt to replace the term symmetric , since there is nothing symmetric in the usual meaning of the term about these designs. The use of projective is due to P.Dembowski Finite Geometries , Springer, 1968 in analogy with the most common example, projective planes, while square is due to P. Cameron Designs, Graphs, Codes and their Links , Cambridge, 1991 and captures the implication of v b on the incidence matrix. Neither term has caught on as a replacement and these designs are still universally referred to as symmetric . ref That is, a symmetric design is a v , b , r , k , design with b v and r k . Either of the latter two equations implies the other. In fact, the parameters of a symmetric design satisfy math lambda v 1 k k 1 . math Clearly, this imposes strong restrictions on v , so the number of points is far from arbitrary. The Bruck Ryser Chowla theorem gives necessary but not sufficient conditions. A theorem of Herbert Ryser Ryser gives a different combinatorial condition for an incidence structure to be symmetric. If X is a v element set the point set , and B is a v element class of k element subsets called blocks , and any two blocks have exactly points in common, then X, B is a symmetric design. ref harvnb Ryser 1963 loc pp. 102 104 ref Examples Examples include finite projective plane s 1 and biplane geometries 2 .
