Singleton Pattern
In object-oriented programming, the singleton pattern is a software design pattern that restricts the instantiation of a class to a singular instance. It is one of the well-known "Gang of Four" design patterns, which describe how to solve recurring problems in object-oriented software. The pattern is useful when exactly one object is needed to coordinate actions across a system. More specifically, the singleton pattern allows classes to: * Ensure they only have one instance * Provide easy access to that instance * Control their instantiation (for example, hiding the constructors of a class) The term comes from the mathematical concept of a singleton. Common uses Singletons are often preferred to global variables because they do not pollute the global namespace (or their containing namespace). Additionally, they permit lazy allocation and initialization, whereas global variables in many languages will always consume resources. The singleton pattern can also be used as a ...

Singleton Bound
In coding theory, the Singleton bound, named after the American mathematician Richard Collom Singleton (1928–2007), is a relatively crude upper bound on the size of an arbitrary block code C with block length n, size M and minimum distance d. It is also known as the Joshibound proved by and even earlier by Komamiya. Statement of the bound The minimum distance of a set C of codewords of length n is defined as d = \min_ d(x,y) where d(x,y) is the Hamming distance between x and y. The expression A_(n,d) represents the maximum number of possible codewords in a q-ary block code of length n and minimum distance d. Then the Singleton bound states that A_q(n,d) \leq q^. Proof First observe that the number of q-ary words of length n is q^n, since each letter in such a word may take one of q different values, independently of the remaining letters. Now let C be an arbitrary q-ary block code of minimum distance d. Clearly, all codewords c \in C are distinct. If we puncture the co ...
