A function machine is a way of writing rules using a flow diagram. The equation \(3j - 6 = 9\) can be shown on a function machine by writing out the functions that have been applied to \(j\) in ...

This paper considers the consequences of errors in the cost function which underlies linear decision rules generally and in particular those developed by Holt, c.s., for the paint factory case. By ...

A class of quadrature formulae is presented applicable to both nonsingular and singular functions, generalizing the classical endpoint corrected trapezoidal quadrature rules. While the latter rules ...
