The maximal correlation problem (MCP) aiming at optimizing correlations between sets of variables plays an important role in many areas of statistical applications. Up to date, algorithms for the general MCP stop at solutions of the multivariate eigenvalue problem (MEP), which serves only as a...

In the economics of joint production one often distinguishes between the two cases: the one in which a firm produces multiple products each produced under separate production process, and the other “true joint production” where a number of outputs are produced from a single production...
