This paper studies the expressive and computational power of discrete Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs), a.k.a. (Ordinary) Difference Equations. It presents a new framework using these equations as a central tool for computation and…
This paper deals with lattices $(L,\Vert~\Vert)$ over polynomial rings, where $L$ is a finitely generated module over $k[t]$, the polynomial ring over the field $k$ in the indeterminate $t$, and $\Vert~\Vert$ is a discrete real-valued…
We present projective descriptions of classical spaces of functions and distributions. More precisely, we provide descriptions of these spaces by semi-norms which are defined by a combination of classical norms and multiplication or…
We study symmetries enjoyed by the polynomials enumerating non-degenerate flags in finite vector spaces, equipped with a non-degenerate alternating bilinear, hermitian or quadratic form. To this end we introduce Igusa-type rational…
Derivative polynomials in two variables are defined by repeated differentiation of the tangent and secant functions. We establish the connections between the coefficients of these derivative polynomials and the numbers of interior and left…
In this paper we calculate a number of integrals over SU(N) of interest in Hamiltonian Lattice Gauge Theory calculations.
In his paper [Concrete representation of abstract $(M)$-spaces. (A characterization of the space of continuous functions.), Ann. of Math., $42 (2)$ ($1941$), $994$--$1024$.], S. Kakutani gave an interesting representation of the closed…
We discuss representations of monogenic functions over very regular groups.
It is well-known that the functions $f \in L^1(\mathbb{R}^d)$ whose translates along a lattice $\Lambda$ form a tiling, can be completely characterized in terms of the zero set of their Fourier transform. We construct an example of a…
Integrating functions on discrete domains into neural networks is key to developing their capability to reason about discrete objects. But, discrete domains are (1) not naturally amenable to gradient-based optimization, and (2) incompatible…
We show that differentiable functions, defined on a convex body $K \subseteq \mathbb R^d$, whose derivatives do not exceed a suitable given sequence of positive real numbers share many properties with polynomials. The role of the degree of…
In this article, we study exponents which preserve complete monotonicity of functions on lattices. We prove that for any completely monotone function $f$ on a finite lattice, $f^\alpha$ is completely monotone for all $\alpha\geq c$, where…
We extend the well-known Shannon decomposition of Boolean functions to more general classes of functions. Such decompositions, which we call pivotal decompositions, express the fact that every unary section of a function only depends upon…
We study a discrete-to-continuous Gamma-limit of a family of high-contrast double porosity type functionals defined on a scaled integer lattice. Under periodicity and p-growth conditions we prove the homogenization result and describe the…
Within the framework of mappings between affine spaces, the notion of $n$-th polarization of a function will lead to an intrinsic characterization of polynomial functions. We prove that the characteristic features of derivations, such as…
We determine all composition-closed equational classes of Boolean functions. These classes provide a natural generalization of clones and iterative algebras: they are closed under composition, permutation and identification…
We study the mixed-integer epigraph of a special class of convex functions with non-convex indicator constraints, which are often used to impose logical constraints on the support of the solutions. The class of functions we consider are…
In this paper, we study two kinds of combinatorial objects, generalized integer partitions and tilings of two dimensional zonotopes, using dynamical systems and order theory. We show that the sets of partitions ordered with a simple…
