When the macro processor executes a macro program statement that can create a macro variable (such as a %LET statement), the macro processor attempts to change the value of an existing macro variable ...

Functions are fundamental to code organization; they exist in all higher order programming languages. Generally, functional programming means using functions to the best effect for creating clean and ...

In the first part of this paper, the concept of logical reduction is presented. Minimal preferred variable inequalities are introduced, and algorithms are given for their calculation. A simple ...

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 ...
