Smale's -theory uses estimates related to the convergence of Newton's method to give criteria implying that Newton iterations will converge quadratically to solutions to ...
Effective quantifier elimination procedures for the reals allow to solve problems that can be encoded into corresponding first-order formulas including ordering constraints. In con...
Tag handling accounts for a substantial amount of execution cost in latently typed languages such as Common LISP and Scheme, especially on architectures that provide no special ha...
