Abstract
Formal definitions of several functions and operators for manipulating nested arrays are presented. Three operators that control the application of a function to the items or groups of items of an array are defined. In addition, the definition of current APL operators is extended to nested arrays. A proposal is presented to accept some of the ideas for the present APL and others for an APL extended to include heterogeneous nested arrays.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
