We present a method for the obtention of the maximal correlation coefficient that extends the simple method given by Papadatos and Xifara (2013). We illustrate our method with the calculation of the maximal correlation between the kth largest order statistics of overlapping samples.

In this article, we prove that Dirac brackets for Hamiltonian and non-Hamiltonian constrained systems can be derived recursively. We then study the applicability of that formulation in analysis of some interesting physical models. Particular attention is paid to the feasibility of implementation...
