Abstract. Polytypic functions have mainly been studied in the context of functional programming languages. In that setting, applications of polytypism include elegant treatments of...
A polymorphic function is parametric if its behavior does not depend on the type at which it is instantiated. Starting with Reynolds's work, the study of parametricity is typ...
Strictness analysis has been a living field of investigation since Mycroft's original work in 1980, and is getting increasingly significant with the still wider use of lazy fu...
One of the major components of any evolutionary system is the evaluation function. Evaluation functions are used to assign a quality measure for individuals in a population. Where...
