One of our favorite nuances of the C programming language (and its descendants) is the static keyword. It’s a little bit tricky to get your head around at first, because it can have two (or three) ...

Mathematical programming discriminant analysis models must be normalised to prevent the generation of discriminant functions in which the variable coefficients and the constant term are zero. This ...

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 ...

To ensure data integrity, it's wise to frequently calculate file checksums. The C program in Listing 1 calculates the checksum of a file using a 16-bit CRC (cyclic redundancy check). The program ...
