	 "This SRFI specifies an array mechanism for Scheme. Arrays as defined here are quite general; at their most basic, an array is simply a "

	 "$i_0,\\ldots,i_{d-1}$ that are valid for a given array form the "(<i>'domain)" of the array.  In this SRFI, each array's domain consists "
	 " of the cross product of nonempty intervals of exact integers $[l_0,u_0)\\times[l_1,u_1)\\times\\cdots\\times[l_{d-1},u_{d-1})$ of $\\mathbb Z^d$, $d$-tuples of "
	 "integers.  Thus, we introduce a data type "
	 "called $d$-"(<i> 'intervals)", or more briefly "(<i>'intervals)", which encapsulates this notion. (We borrow this terminology from, e.g., "
         " Elias Zakon's "(<a> href: "http://www.trillia.com/zakon1.html" "Basic Concepts of Mathematics")".) "

	(<h2> "Overview")
	(<h3> "Bawden-style arrays")
	(<p>  "In a "(<a> href: "https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en#!msg/comp.lang.scheme/7nkx58Kv6RI/a5hdsduFL2wJ" "1993 post")
	      " to the news group comp.lang.scheme, Alan Bawden gave a simple implementation of multi-dimensional arrays in R4RS scheme. "
	      "The only constructor of new arrays required specifying an initial value, and he provided the three low-level primitives "
	      (<code>'array-ref)", "(<code>'array-set!)", and "(<code>'array?)".  His arrays were defined on rectangular intervals in "
	      "$\\mathbb Z^d$ of the form $[0,u_0)\\times\\cdots\\times [0,u_{d-1})$.  I'll note that his function "(<code>'array-set!)
	      " put the value to be entered into the array at the front of the variable-length list of indices that indicate where to "
	      "place the new value.  He offered an intriguing way to \"share\" arrays "
	      "in the form of a routine "(<code>'make-shared-array)" that took a mapping from a new interval of indices into the domain "
	      "of the array to be shared.  His implementation incorporated what he called an "(<i>'indexer)", which was a function from "
	      "the interval $[0,u_0)\\times\\cdots\\times [0,u_{d-1})$ to an interval $[0,N)$, where the "(<i>'body)" of the array consisted of "
	      "a single Scheme vector of length $N$.  Bawden called the mapping specified in "(<code>'make-shared-array)" "
	      (<i>'linear)", but I prefer the term "(<i>'affine)", as I explain later.")
	(<p> "Mathematically, Bawden's arrays can be described as follows.  We'll use the vector notation $\\vec i$ for a multi-index "
	     "$i_0,\\ldots,i_{d-1}$. (Multi-indices correspond to Scheme "(<code>'values)".)  Arrays will be denoted by capital letters "
	     "$A,B,\\ldots$, the domain of the array $A$ (in Bawden's case $[0,u_0)\\times \\cdots\\times [0,u_{d-1})$) will be denoted by $D_A$, "
	     "and the indexer of $A$, mapping $D_A$ to the interval $[0,N)$ will be denoted by $I_A$.  Initially, Bawden constructs "
	     "$I_A$ such that $I_A(\\vec i)$ steps consecutively through the values $0,1,\\ldots,N-1$ as $\\vec i$ steps through the "
	     "multi-indices $(0,\\ldots,0,0)$, $(0,\\ldots,0,1)$, $\\ldots$, $(0,\\ldots,1,0)$, etc., in lexicographical order, which means "
	     "that if $\\vec i$ and $\\vec j$ are two multi-indices, then $\\vec i<\\vec j$ iff the first coordinate $k$ where $\\vec i$ and $\\vec j$ "
	     "differ satisfies $\\vec i_k<\\vec j_k$. In fact, $I_A(\\vec i)=\\vec v\\cdot\\vec i$ for some specially-constructed vector $\\vec v$ "
	     "that depends only on $D_A$, the domain of $A$, where $\\vec v\\cdot\\vec i$ is the dot product of $\\vec v$ and $\\vec i$.")
	(<p> "In "(<code>'make-shared-array)", Bawden allows you to specify a new $r$-dimensional interval $D_B$ as the domain of a new array $B$, and a "
	     "mapping $T_{BA}:D_B\\to D_A$ of the form $T_{BA}(\\vec i)=M\\vec i+\\vec b$; here $M$ is a $d\\times r$ matrix of integer values and "
	     "$\\vec b$ is a $d$-vector.  So this mapping $T_{BA}$ is "(<i>'affine)", in that $T_{BA}(\\vec i)-T_{BA}(\\vec j)=M(\\vec i-\\vec j)$ is "
	     (<i>'linear)" (in a linear algebra sense) in $\\vec i-\\vec j$.  The new indexer of $B$ satisfies $I_B(\\vec i)=I_A(T_{BA}(\\vec i))$.")
	(<p> "A fact Bawden exploits in the code, but doesn't point out in the short post, is that $I_B$ is again an affine map, and indeed, the composition "
	     "of "(<i>'any)" two affine maps is again affine.")
	(<h3> "Our extensions of Bawden-style arrays")
	(<p> "We incorporate Bawden-style arrays into this SRFI, but extend them in two relatively minor ways that we find quite useful.")
	(<p> "First, we allow the intervals of multi-indices that form the domains of arrays to have nonzero lower bounds as "
	     "well as upper bounds, so domains are rectangular, $d$-dimensional intervals $[l_0,u_0)\\times\\cdots\\times[l_{d-1},u_{d-1})$.")
	(<p> "Second, we introduce the notion of a "(<i>"storage class")", an object that contains functions that manipulate, store, check, etc., different types of values. "
	     "A "(<code>'generic-storage-class)" can manipulate any Scheme value, "
	     "whereas, e.g., a "(<code>'u1-storage-class)" can store only the values 0 and 1 in each element of a body.")
	(<p> "We also require that our affine maps be one-to-one, so that if $\\vec i\\neq\\vec j$ then $T(\\vec i)\\neq T(\\vec j)$.  Without this property, modifying "
	     "the $\\vec i$th component of $A$ would cause the $\\vec j$th component to change.")
	(<h3> "Common transformations on Bawden-style arrays")
	(<p> "Requiring the transformations $T_{BA}:D_B\\to D_A$ to be affine may seem  esoteric and restricting, but in fact many common and useful array transformations "
	     "can be expressed in this way.  We give several examples below: ")
	(<ul>
	 (<li> (<b> "Restricting the domain of an array: ")
	       "  If the domain of $B$, $D_B$, is a subset of the domain of $A$, then $T_{BA}(\\vec i)=\\vec i$ is a one-to-one affine mapping.  We define "
	       (<code>'array-extract)" to define this common operation; it's like looking at a rectangular sub-part of a spreadsheet. We use it to extract the common part of overlapping domains of three arrays in an image processing example below. ")
         (<li> (<b> "Tiling an array: ")
               "For various reasons (parallel processing, optimizing cache localization, GPU programming, etc.) one may wish to process a large array as a number of subarrays of the same dimensions, which we call "(<i>'tiling)" the array.  The routine "(<code>'array-tile)" returns a new array, each entry of which is a subarray extracted (in the sense of "(<code>'array-extract)") from the input array.")
	 (<li> (<b> "Translating the domain of an array: ")
	       "If $\\vec d$ is a vector of integers, then $T_{BA}(\\vec i)=\\vec i-\\vec d$ is a one-to-one affine map of $D_B=\\{\\vec i+\\vec d\\mid \\vec i\\in D_A\\}$ onto $D_A$. "
	       "We call $D_B$ the "(<i>'translate)" of $D_A$, and we define "(<code>'array-translate)" to provide this operation.")
	 (<li> (<b> "Permuting the coordinates of an array: ")
	       "If $\\pi$ "(<a> href: "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permutation" 'permutes)" the coordinates of a multi-index $\\vec i$, and $\\pi^{-1}$ is the inverse of $\\pi$, then "
	       "$T_{BA}(\\vec i)=\\pi (\\vec i)$ is a one-to-one affine map from $D_B=\\{\\pi^{-1}(\\vec i)\\mid \\vec i\\in D_A\\}$ onto $D_A$.  We provide "(<code>'array-permute)" for this operation. "
	       "The only nonidentity permutation of a two-dimensional spreadsheet turns rows into columns and vice versa.")
	 (<li> (<b> "Currying an array: ")
	       "Let's denote the cross product of two intervals $\\text{Int}_1$ and $\\text{Int}_2$ by $\\text{Int}_1\\times\\text{Int}_2$; "
	       "if $\\vec j=(j_0,\\ldots,j_{r-1})\\in \\text{Int}_1$ and $\\vec i=(i_0,\\ldots,i_{s-1})\\in \\text{Int}_2$, then "
	       "$\\vec j\\times\\vec i$, which we define to be $(j_0,\\ldots,j_{r-1},i_0,\\ldots,i_{s-1})$, is in $\\text{Int}_1\\times\\text{Int}_2$. "
	       "If $D_A=\\text{Int}_1\\times\\text{Int}_2$ and $\\vec j\\in\\text{Int}_1$, then $T_{BA}(\\vec i)=\\vec j\\times\\vec i$ "
	       "is a one-to-one affine mapping from $D_B=\\text{Int}_2$ into $D_A$.  For each vector $\\vec j$ we can compute a new array in this way; we provide "
	       (<code>'array-curry)" for this operation, which returns an array whose domain is $\\text{Int}_1$ and whose elements are themselves arrays, each of which is defined on $\\text{Int}_2$. "
	       "Currying a two-dimensional array would be like organizing a spreadsheet into a one-dimensional array of rows of the spreadsheet.")
	 (<li> (<b> "Traversing some indices in a multi-index in reverse order: ")
	       "Consider an array $A$ with domain $D_A=[l_0,u_0)\\times\\cdots\\times[l_{d-1},u_{d-1})$. Fix $D_B=D_A$ and assume we're given a vector of booleans $F$ ($F$ for \"flip?\"). "
               "Then define $T_{BA}:D_B\\to D_A$ by $i_j\\to i_j$ if $F_j$ is "(<code>'#f)" and $i_j\\to u_j+l_j-1-i_j$ if  $F_j$ is "(<code>'#t)"." 
	       "In other words,  we reverse the ordering of the $j$th coordinate of $\\vec i$ if and only if $F_j$ is true. "
	       "$T_{BA}$ is an affine mapping from $D_B\\to D_A$, which defines a new array $B$, and we can provide "(<code>'array-reverse)" for this operation. "
               "Applying "(<code>'array-reverse)" to a two-dimensional spreadsheet might reverse the order of the rows or columns (or both).")
         (<li> (<b> "Uniformly sampling an array: ")
               "Assume that $A$ is an array with domain $[0,u_1)\\times\\cdots\\times[0,u_{d-1})$ (i.e., an interval all of whose lower bounds are zero). "
               "We'll also assume the existence of vector $S$ of scale factors, which are positive exact integers. "
               "Let $D_B$ be a new interval with $j$th lower bound equal to zero and $j$th upper bound equal to $\\operatorname{ceiling}(u_j/S_j)$ and let "
               "$T_{BA}(\\vec i)_j=i_j\\times S_j$, i.e., the $j$th coordinate is scaled by $S_j$.  ($D_B$ contains precisely those multi-indices that $T_{BA}$ maps into $D_A$.) "
               " Then $T_{BA}$ is an affine one-to-one mapping, and we provide "(<code>'interval-scale)" and "(<code>'array-sample)" for these operations.")
         )
	(<p> "We make several remarks.  First, all these operations could have been computed by specifying the particular mapping $T_{BA}$ explicitly, so that these routines are simply "
	     "\"convenience\" procedures.  Second, because the composition of any number of affine mappings are again affine, accessing or changing the elements of a "
	     "restricted, translated, curried, permuted array is no slower than accessing or changing the elements of the original array itself. "
	     "Finally, we note that by combining array currying and permuting, say, one can come up with simple expressions of powerful algorithms, such as extending "
	     "one-dimensional transforms to multi-dimensional separable transforms, or quickly generating two-dimensional slices of three-dimensional image data. "
	     "Examples are given below.")
	
	(<h3> "Generalized arrays")
	(<p> "Bawden-style arrays are clearly useful as a programming construct, but they do not fulfill all our needs in this area. "
	     "An array, as commonly understood, provides a mapping from multi-indices  $(i_0,\\ldots,i_{d-1})$ of exact integers 
in a nonempty, rectangular, $d$-dimensional interval $[l_0,u_0)\\times[l_1,u_1)\\times\\cdots\\times[l_{d-1},u_{d-1})$ (the "(<i>'domain)" of the array) to Scheme objects.
Thus, two things are necessary to specify an array: an interval and a mapping that has that interval as its domain.")
	(<p> "Since these two things are often sufficient for certain algorithms, we introduce in this SRFI a minimal set of interfaces for dealing with such arrays.")
	(<p> "Specifically, an array specifies a nonempty, multi-dimensional interval, called its "(<i> "domain")", and a mapping from this domain to Scheme objects.  This mapping is called the "(<i> 'getter)" of the array, accessed with the procedure "(<code>'array-getter)"; the domain of the array (more precisely, the domain of the array's getter) is accessed with the procedure "(<code>'array-domain)".")
	(<p> "If this mapping can be changed, the array is said to be "(<i> 'mutable)" and the mutation is effected
by the array's "(<i> 'setter)", accessed by the procedure "(<code>'array-setter)".  We call an object of this type a mutable array. Note: If an array does not have a setter, then we call it immutable even though the array's getter might not be a \"pure\" function, i.e., the value it returns may not depend solely on the arguments passed to the getter.")
	(<p> "In general, we leave the implementation of generalized arrays completely open.  They may be defined simply by closures, or
they may have hash tables or databases behind an implementation, one may read the values from a file, etc.")
	(<p> "In this SRFI, Bawden-style arrays are called "(<i> 'specialized)". A specialized array is an example of a mutable array.")
	
	(<h3> "Sharing generalized arrays")
	(<p> "Even if an array $A$ is not a specialized array, then it could be \"shared\" by specifying a new interval $D_B$ as the domain of "
	     "a new array $B$ and an affine map $T_{BA}:D_B\\to D_A$.  Each call to $B$ would then be computed as $B(\\vec i)=A(T_{BA}(\\vec i))$.")
	(<p> "One could again \"share\" $B$, given a new interval $D_C$ as the domain of a new array $C$ and an affine transform $T_{CB}:D_C\\to D_B$, and then each access $C(\\vec i)=A(T_{BA}(T_{CB}(\\vec i)))$.  The composition $T_{BA}\\circ T_{CB}:D_C\\to D_A$, being itself affine, could be precomputed and stored as $T_{CA}:D_C\\to D_A$, and $C(\\vec i)=A(T_{CA}(\\vec i))$ can be computed with the overhead of computing a single affine transformation.")
	(<p> "So, if we wanted, we could share generalized arrays with constant overhead by adding a single layer of (multi-valued) affine transformations on top of evaluating generalized arrays.  Even though this could be done transparently to the user, we do not do that here; it would be a compatible extension of this SRFI to do so.  We provide only the routine "(<code>'specialized-array-share)", not a more general "(<code>'array-share)".")
	(<p> "Certain ways of sharing generalized arrays, however, are relatively easy to code and not that expensive.  If we denote "(<code>"(array-getter A)")" by "(<code>'A-getter)", then if B is the result of "(<code>'array-extract)" applied to A, then "
	     (<code>"(array-getter B)")" is simply "(<code>'A-getter)".  Similarly, if A is a two-dimensional array, and B is derived from A by applying the permutation $\\pi((i,j))=(j,i)$, then "(<code>"(array-getter B)")" is "
	     (<code>"(lambda (i j) (A-getter j i))")".  Translation and currying also lead to transformed arrays whose getters are relatively efficiently derived from "(<code>'A-getter)", at least for arrays of small dimension.")
	(<p> "Thus, while we do not provide for sharing of generalized arrays for general one-to-one affine maps $T$, we do allow it for the specific functions "(<code>'array-extract)", "(<code>'array-translate)", "(<code>'array-permute)",  "
	     (<code>'array-curry)",  "(<code>'array-reverse)", and "(<code>'array-sample)",  and we provide relatively efficient implementations of these functions for arrays of dimension no greater than four.")
	(<h3> "Array-map does not produce a specialized array")
	(<p> "Daniel Friedman and David Wise wrote a famous paper "(<a> href: "http://www.cs.indiana.edu/cgi-bin/techreports/TRNNN.cgi?trnum=TR44" "CONS should not Evaluate its Arguments")". "
	     "In the spirit of that paper, our procedure "(<code>'array-map)" does not immediately produce a specialized array, but a simple immutable array, whose elements are recomputed from the arguments of "(<code>'array-map)
	     " each time they are accessed.   This immutable array can be passed on to further applications of "(<code>'array-map)" for further processing, without generating the storage bodies for intermediate arrays.")
	(<p> "We provide the procedure "(<code>'array->specialized-array)" to transform a generalized array (like that returned by "(<code>'array-map)
	     ") to a specialized, Bawden-style array, for which accessing each element again takes $O(1)$ operations.")

        (<h3> "Notational convention")
        (<p> "If "(<code>(<var>'A))" is an array, then we generally define "(<code>(<var>'A_))" to be "(<code>"(array-getter "(<var>'A)")")" and  "(<code>(<var>'A!))" to be "(<code>"(array-setter "(<var>'A)")")".  The latter notation is motivated by the general Scheme convention that the names of functions that modify the contents of data structures end in "(<code>(<var>"!"))", while the notation for the getter of an array is motivated by the TeX notation for subscripts.  See particularly the "(<a> href: "#Haar" "Haar transform")" example.")
