Subject: Catena conjecture correction
Now that my code seems stable-ish, I'm looking back into the math
behind pebbling proofs. I see no error in Catena's, however, the
Catena paper also makes the following conjecture:
T > G^(L+1)/(S^L)
Where T is the number of pebble moves required, and L is lambda.
I think there is a slight error in the paper two equations before:
G*(G/2S)^L = G^(L+1)/(2*S^L)
It should be 2^L, not 2.
I verified that Catena-2 can be pebbled with equal spaced pebbles in
rows 1 and 2 with S == G/4 with a recomputation penalty of 8, rather
than the predicted 16.
