Finite Differencing of Computable Expressions

Open access
Paige, Robert, Koenig, Shaye·1982·ACM Transactions on Programming Languages and Systems

Abstract

Finite differencing is a program optimization method that generalizes strength reduction, and provides an efficient implementation for a host of program transformations including "iterator inversion."Finite differencing is formally specified in terms of more basic transformations shown to preserve program semantics.Estimates of the speedup that the technique yields are given.A full illustrative example of algorithm derivation is presented.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
