This is the first in a series of columns on advanced programming techniques and algorithms. This issue's column discusses dynamic programming, a powerful algorithmic scheme ...

Contexts are a mechanism for ensuring that symbols created by a package are distinct from symbols created by the user or by other packages. The biggest problem with contexts ...

MathLink is a protocol for sending and receiving Mathematica expressions over an interprocess communication link. The Mathematica front end and kernel communicate using ...

The polynomials that arise as coefficients when a power series is raised to the power x include many important special cases, which have surprising properties that are not ...

The graphical power of Mathematica is used to explore a geometric approach to eigenvalues.

A mode power measure is applied to characterize nonlinear thin film optical waveguides in an approach analogous to that of Chelkowski and Chrostowski. Together with the ...

In this article, the residual power series method (RPSM) for solving the nonlinear Schrödinger equation is introduced. Residual power series algorithm gets Maclaurin ...

An amusing puzzle is elucidated by graphical analysis of iterated maps.

The use of rational approximants to simulate the natural boundary of a function is examined. Determination of the poles of the approximants illustrates the enormous power of ...

A significant improvement of the light load conversion efficiency in integrated CMOS DC–DC converters using pulse-width modulation (PWM) at constant switching frequencies ...
