We propose an extension of functional logic languages that allows the definition of operations with patterns containing other defined operation symbols. Such “function patterns” have many advantages over traditional constructor patterns. They allow a direct representation of specifications as declarative programs, provide better abstractions of patterns as first-class objects, and support the h...

We investigate the behavior of functional programs operating on list structures with respect to automatic parallelization. Many list-processing functions follow typical patterns of recursion that contain inherent horizontal paral-lelism, data parallelism, vertical parallelism and stream parallelism. Starting from a simple classiication of list-processing functions, more and more general version...

objectives: the purpose of this study was to determine the functional mobility and balance in the elders after total hip arthroplasty in healthy coparison to elders. methods & materials: the current cross-sectional study was done on 20 patients (70.9±4.2) with hip osteoarthritis 6 months after total hip arthroplasty and 20 healthy subjects (73±5.7) as control group. patient group was assigned w...

Described is the implementation in XSLT of some major functional programming design patterns: • Higher-order functions (HOF) • Recursive iteration • Primitive recursion (folding) over lists and trees • Mapping of lists • Functional composition • Partial application and currying • Dynamic creation of a new function The author argues that using a functional programming library that supports these...
