 Lambda the Ultimate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lambda the Ultimate is name of a weblog founded by Ehud Lamm.
The weblog mostly deals with issues related to programming languages, with a focus on advanced computer science results and papers.
The name of the weblog is a reference to Sussman and Steele's influential Lambda Papers on programming languages, so-called because many of the papers have a title that includes the words "Lambda: the ultimate..."

Implementations of the lambda calculus representation with the symmetric complement are greatly facilitated.
In ths paper we define the concept of parametric overloading as a restricted form of overloading which is easily combined with parametric polymorphism.
This paper shows a way to bring these two worlds of programming style closer together, by characterizing the effects-producing semantics features that one wishes to use to design useful and efficient programs as algebras, whose axioms are given by sets of first-order equations whose variables range over program terms.

Lambda Calculus, considered to be the mathematical basis for programming language, is a calculus developed by Alonzo Church and Stephen Kleene in the 1930s to express all computable functions.
Lambda calculus, and the closely related theories of combinators and type systems, are important foundations in the study of mathematics, logic, and computer programming language.
Lambda Switching (sometimes called photonic switching, or wavelength switching) is the technology used in optical networking to switch individual wavelengths of light onto separate paths for specific routing of information.

 Rich Sutton's Publications
This paper introduces recognizers and their potential advantages, then develops a full algorithm for MDPs and proves that its updates are in the same direction as on-policy TD updates, which implies asymptotic convergence.
In this paper we explore an alternative approach in which the policy is explicitly represented by its own function approximator, independent of the value function, and is updated according to the gradient of expected reward with respect to the policy parameters.
In this paper we present a framework based on Markov decision processes and semi-Markov decision processes for phrasing this problem, a basic theorem regarding the improvement in performance that can be obtained by switching flexibly between given controllers, and example applications of the theorem.

Abstract: An expository paper that provides orientation on the central mathematical issues for a comprehensive and rigorous theory of dynamic programming and stochastic control, as given in the authors' book "Stochastic Optimal Control: The Discrete-Time Case," Academic Press, 1978 (republished by Athena Scientific, 1996).
In this paper, we explore the relations between pseudonormality, quasiregularity, and existence of Lagrange multipliers in the presence of an abstract set constraint.
Abstract: This paper is concerned with the problem of estimating the state of a linear dynamic system using noise-corrupted observations, when input disturbances and observation errors are unknown except for the fact that they belong to given bounded sets.

 Peter Selinger: Papers
The main results of this paper are the safety properties of the language and the development of a type inference algorithm.
We discuss the choice of left-to-right vs. right-to-left evaluation in the call-by-value lambda calculus, an issue which is sometimes misunderstood because it is a purely syntactical issue which is not reflected semantically.
We then introduce a notion of finite models for the lambda calculus, contrasting the known fact that models of the lambda calculus, in the traditional sense, are always non-recursive.

 Wadler: Call-by-need and call-by-value
This paper presents a dual calculus that corresponds to the classical sequent calculus of Gentzen (1935) in the same way that the lambda calculus of Church (1932,1940) corresponds to the intuitionistic natural deduction of Gentzen (1935).
In this paper we derive an equational characterization of call-by-need and prove it correct with respect to the original lambda calculus.

Of course, Church numerals are just the tip of the iceberg: from there i went to learn Lambda Calculus, and realized that there were powerful and deep principles at play underneath that fun hacking hobby of mine.
If you think that the above lambda tricks are old hat and not worth such a fuss, take a look at the impressive fireworks of Oleg’s with Lambda Calculus, Scheme and Haskell, including negative numbers, substraction and division: i’m sure you will find them much more fun.
For instance, McCarthy’s original paper on Lisp, or any of the Lambda Papers by Steele and Sussman.

In this paper, selected examples demonstrating the mitigation of active corrosion fatigue, restoration of fatigue performance after severe pitting due to prior corrosion exposure, and complete prevention of SCC by LPB treatment are presented.
This paper reports the findings of a comprehensive investigation of the effect of residual compressive stresses, imparted by various surface treatments, to improve leading edge damage tolerance and active corrosion fatigue performance in a salt water environment.
This paper describes the application of Low Plasticity Burnishing (LPB) to increase the damage tolerance and fatigue strength of a Ti-6Al-4V fan blade that is fatigue life limited by the occurrence of leading edge foreign object damage (FOD) as small as 0.1mm (0.005 in.).

The contribution of the paper is a type assignment system, obtained by combination of systems for MA and for the Sigma-calculus.
The first gives a proof of consistency of the $\lambda$-theory where the $\lambda$-term $(\lambda x.xx)(\lambda x.xx)$ is forced to behave as the join operator.
This strategy reduces only redexes not inside a lambda abstraction.\\ The lazy strongly $\beta$- normalizing terms are the $\lambda$-terms that don't have infinite lazy $\beta$-reduction sequences.\\ This paper presents a logical characterization of lazy strongly $\beta$-normalizing terms using intersection types.

All health communication papers were in the “top five” papers in that division.
Our chapter of Lambda Pi Eta also extends the opportunity to explore graduate school options, encouraging students to discuss graduate school possibilities with faculty regarding a wide range of graduate opportunities in communication.
The Marshall is a companion to the Rhodes Scholarship, administered by the British government, and the Marshall program confirmed that our student was the first ever in the history of the Marshall program (in existence since the early 50s) to pursue graduate work in communication studies.

Fearing that the use of their names in the court action would endanger their military careers, two of the plaintiffs are going forward under a pseudonym.
Lambda and the ACLU also argue that the new policy imposes a "restrictive, confused and self-contradictory set of rules" on lesbian and gay service members that are unrelated to fitness and ability to serve.
In addition, the court papers say that heterosexual service members are not subject to the same rules -- a clear violation of the Constitution's Equal Protection Clause.

 Papers' repositories | Lambda the Ultimate
Wouldn't it be nice to have one besides Research Papers, which is great, but covers specific papers and not "libraries".
The reason for using searches in the specific repository instead of Google is that some queries like "path tree graph free generated category product" result in much more enterprise related topics than category related when run under generic searcher (Google).
Well, the main complaint was not lacking some lists in the metalist, but mixing papers and lists in one (meta)list.

In the mid to late 70's Gerald Sussman and Guy Steele wrote a number of papers about Lambda Calculus as a model for a programming language named Scheme.
The papers themselves were written in 76 and 75 respectively and reflect the simplicity of computing back then.
The second paper presents a language specification and the full source code for an interpreter.

 Glosa Grammar   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
The lambda papers written by the inventors of the Scheme programming language.
But since in speech these distinctions do not occur, perhaps it should be relegated to the grammar books and discussions on the proper usage of the language.
The calculus of natural language includes only the lambda definition and not its application; therefore the fact that we are defining a new instance of 'x' is irrelevant since we are also defining a new instance of the function '+'.
