Perhaps you meant L is a set of numbers, none repeated. If you
really meant l, I have no clue.
As for i and x, they don't appear on the right side so they're a
red herring.
I also don't know what bd, dist, and hc are. Are they each a
function of a single number? Or are they vectors, indexed by
int? If so, then presumably L is a set of ints.
How about you express some sample data that you'd like to
evaluate. For example, start with
L = set (1, 4, 3)
bd = [4.3, 12.11, 93, -0.9, 42]

No problem, you did a good job expressing it in unicode in a text
message.
