This paper is based on Jacobson's thesis, but it is not the same thing at all.

@TedHopp Since the thesis is not readily available (and the preview https://www.proquest.com/docview/303540527 doesn't contain a lot of information), would you know (or would someone else) have an idea of how much additional information, specifically relating to trees, is in the thesis compared to the paper?

<p>You could try <a href="http://reports-archive.adm.cs.cmu.edu/cs.html">writing CMU</a> to ask for a copy of the <a href="http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~clamen/reports/1989.html">technical report</a> version; Jacobson's thesis is technical report number CMU-CS-89-112.

Did you ask your local university library? The thesis seems to be available in many university libraries, and I would be very surprised if you could not get a copy of it through the interlibrary services.

By the way, there is no reason not to include the name of the author and the precise title of the thesis in your question.

This question's title is misleading.

I edited the title and added Jacobson's name to the question.

Libraries at university usually have inter-loan arrangements, try asking someone in your library to request a copy from CMU's library.

You could try [writing CMU](http://reports-archive.adm.cs.cmu.edu/cs.html) to ask for a copy of the [technical report](http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~clamen/reports/1989.html) version; Jacobson's thesis is technical report number CMU-CS-89-112. No idea if this would actually work though.

It's also possible, but unlikely, that [Jacobson's advisor](http://www.scs.gatech.edu/people/merrick-furst) has an electronic copy.

As a last resort, you (or your advisor, or your university library) can order a copy from [ProQuest](http://disexpress.umi.com/dxweb), the entity formerly known as University Microfilms.
