In this paper we propose a new method for the iterative computation of a few of the extremal eigenvalues of a symmetric matrix and their associated eigenvectors. The method is based on an old and ...

In this article maximum likelihood techniques for estimating consumer demand functions when budget constraints are piecewise linear are exposited and surveyed. Consumer demand functions are formally ...

A recent paper set the fastest record for multiplying two matrices. But it also marks the end of the line for a method researchers have relied on for decades to make improvements. For computer ...

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 the ...

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

It may be possible to use brain technology to learn to play a piano, reduce mental stress or hit a curve ball with little or no conscious effort, new research suggests. It's the kind of thing seen in ...
