ApplicativeDo tries to remove the monad binds where possible when desugaring Haskells' do-notation. It does this by looking at inter-statement dependencies and connecting them with applicative operations when possible; this introduces implicit parallelism in the code. Deciding which structure to generate is tricky, since many different are usually possible. Currently, this is solved with simple minimum cost analysis with an unit cost model, assuming each statement takes the same amount of time to evaluate. By extending the cost model inside the ApplicativeDo algorithm for variable evaluation costs, we perform smarter generation of code by prioritising parallelisation of heavy statements.

At Facebook, Marlow et al. developed Haxl, a data-fetching library that can use applicative structure in expressions for free parallelism. To our knowledge, it is the only library that can do automatic parallelism on applicative expressions. We observe significant wall-clock speedups in many cases when running benchmarks with Haxl, compared to the original ApplicativeDo-desugared programs, given relative costs of statements.

The ApplicativeDo extension is agnostic to the source of costs, but one way of providing them is investigated as optional weight annotations on do-statements. This works well when the relative costs are known, but this kind of run-time estimation is notoriously difficult, particularly in Haskell. We suggest different directions for future work relating to sources of costs.

The differential transformation method (DTM) was first introduced by Zhou 37 years ago. This method is a semi-analytical numerical method for solving homogeneous or inhomogeneous linear ordinary differential equations. Indeed, the differential transform method is based on Taylor series expansion in a different way, in which the differential equation is turned into a recurrence relation to provide a series solution in terms of polynomials. This research is concerned with the differential transformation method for both ordinary and partial differential equations. To solve initial value and boundary value problems for ordinary differential equations, we use the one-dimensional differential transform technique. Furthermore, we present new modifications to the differential transformation method that improve its algorithm. The differential transformation method is capable to reduce the size of calculations and handles homogeneous or inhomogeneous linear ordinary differential equations directly. Seven examples are considered for the numerical illustrations of this method. The results demonstrate the reliability and efficiency of this method for such problems.

Using The Differential Transformation Method (DTM) to Solving Ordinary Differential Equations

We examine whether having previously been self-employed is a negative signal on the job market. In a UK field experiment where two applications of otherwise equally qualified individuals were sent out in response to the same vacancies in human resource management, we find that entrepreneurs systematically receive fewer responses than non-entrepreneurs. Empirical studies that treat market wages as the opportunity cost of remaining self-employed are therefore likely to overestimate alternative earnings to entrepreneurship.
