Hi Vincenzo,
I have read with interest your article because I'm particulary
interested in the use of
such tecnique, however it's not clear to me, may be you have to
clarify it in the article
to enlight the reader, what the MA tecnique does more than apply the
old but still good
principles (used since decads in the software industry) such:

1) Divide et impera
2) Look up table.

The results you obtained are encouraging, in the sense that still in
2010 such old principles
are still of valid use.

Gaetano Mendola
