Finite-state Optimality Theory: non-rationality of Harmonic Serialism
This paper analyzes the language-theoretic complexity of Harmonic Serialism (HS), a derivational variant of Optimality Theory. I show that HS can generate non-rational relations using strictly local markedness constraints, proving the “result” of Hao ...

Abnormality in the Theory of Necessary Optimality Conditions
The problems of existence, non-uniqueness, abnormality of solutions arising from the using of necessary optimality conditions are discussed in terms of the extension principle and sufficient optimality conditions. Simple examples are used.

Determining underlying presence in the learning of grammars that allow insertion and deletion
The simultaneous learning of a phonological map from inputs to outputs and a lexicon of phonological underlying forms has been a focus of several research efforts (Jarosz 2006; Apoussidou 2007; Merchant 2008; Merchant & Tesar 2008; Tesar 2014).

On the Development of Optimization Theory [PDF]
Abstract : The method of Lagrange for finding extrema of functions subject to equality constraints was published in 1788 in the famous book Mecanique Analytique. The works of Karush, John, Kuhn and Tucker concerning optimization subject to inequality constraints appeared more than 150 years after that.

Early Impact of Childhood Opportunity on Neurocognitive Outcomes in Sickle Cell Disease
ABSTRACT Introduction Neurocognitive impairment is a well‐recognized complication of sickle cell disease (SCD) that begins early in childhood and persists across development. While cerebrovascular injury contributes substantially to risk, neurocognitive deficits are also observed in children without overt or silent cerebral infarctions, suggesting ...
