A multi-domain incremental analysis engine and its application to incremental resource analysis
Theoretical Computer Science, 2015 The aim of incremental analysis is, given a program, its analysis results, and a series of changes to the program, to obtain the new analysis results as eficiently as possible and, ideally, without having to (re-)analyze fragments of code which are not affected by the changes.

Frontiers in Applied Mathematics and Statistics, 2021 The analysis correction made by data assimilation (DA) can introduce model shock or artificial signal, leading to degradation in forecast. In this study, we propose an Ensemble Transform Kalman Incremental Smoother (ETKIS) as an incremental update ...
