Many Forth systems provide means to call C functions, but these interfaces are not designed to be portable between platforms: A call to a C library function that works on one platform may fail on the next platform, because the parameter and return value types of the C function may be different. In this paper, we present an interface that avoids this problem: In particular, the actual calls can ...

What determines the direction of spread of currency crises? We examine data on waves of currency crises in 1992, 1994, 1997, and 1998 to evaluate several hypotheses on the determinants of contagion. We simultaneously consider trade competition, financial links, and institutional similarity to the “ground-zero” country as potential drivers of contagion. To overcome data limitations and account f...

where Ø is a smooth bounded domain of R with external normal ν, N ≥ 3, 1 < p < (N + 2)/(N − 2), J : R → R and V : R → R are C functions. In [5], the first author, extending the classical results by Ni and Takagi, in [3, 4], proved that there exist solutions of (1) that concentrate at maximum and minimum points of a suitable auxiliary function defined on the boundary ∂Ø and depending only on J a...

For programmers seeking to familiarize themselves with the component of the C++11 standard library, we provide background information and tutorial guidance with numerous usage examples.

It follows that there is a positive constant c1 and arbitrarily large values of x for which the interval (x; x+ c1x ] contains no squarefull numbers. On the other hand, since there is a square in (x; x + 2 p x + 1] for all x 0, it follows that there is a constant c2 such that for every x 1, the interval (x; x + c2x] contains a squarefull number. Thus, the order of the maximum size of gaps betwe...

A C library has been created to facilitate pro totyping of curve and surface modeling techniques The library provides blossoming datatypes to sup port creation of modeling techniques based on blos soming analysis The datatypes have e cient oper ations that are generalizations of important CAGD algorithms and can be used to implement many algo rithms Most importantly the library is able to inter...

1. The construction of T(A) is motivated by dualizing the fundamental group 7Ti(X) of a differentiable manifold X with a base point Xo. Let A be the -R-algebra of C functions on X equipped with the derivation d, which is the usual differentiation from A into the Amodule M = ÛA of C 1-forms on X. Recall that the shuffle algebra Sh(M) consists of the i£-module of the tensor algebra TR(M) and the ...

Outcome bias occurs when an evaluator considers ex-post outcomes when judging whether a choice was correct, ex-ante. We formalize this cognitive bias in a simple model of distorted Bayesian updating. We then examine strategy changes made by professional football coaches. We find they are more likely to revise their strategy after a loss than a win — even for narrow losses, which are uninformati...

In a Bayesian analysis, different models can be compared on the basis of the expected or marginal likelihood they attain. Many methods have been devised to compute the marginal likelihood, but simplicity is not the strongest point of most methods. At the same time, the precision of methods is often questionable. In this paper several methods are presented in a common framework. The explanation ...

In this paper, by using the sequence of adjointable operators from pro-C*-algebra $ mathcal{A} $ into a Hilbert $ mathcal{A} $-module $ E $. We introduce frames with bounds in pro-C*-algebra $ mathcal{A} $. New frames in Hilbert modules over pro-C*-algebras are called standard $ ast $-frames of multipliers. Meanwhile, we study several useful properties of standard $ ast $-frames in Hilbert modu...
