Programming theory is treated initially without any assumptions about the functions and with interpretation for production and activity analysis. By proof of a general theorem about optimal and ...

If you were designing a general purpose programming language today, what major features and constraints do you think are necessary? Let's constrain (heh) ourselves to languages that might compete ...

M4N asks: Is there a reason why functions in most (?) programming languages are designed to support any number of input parameters but only one return value? In most languages, it is possible to ...

This paper is concerned with the determination of tight lower and upper bounds on the expectation of a convex function of a random variable. The classic bounds are those of Jensen and ...
