We analyze different data of the variation of the fine structure constant obtained with different methods to check their consistency.We test consistency using the modified Student test and confidence intervals. We split the data sets in…
The fractal structure with a power index of 2 is considered within the framework of the universe with the linear law of evolution. The fractal structure arises due to the linear evolution of the scale of mass. Potential fluctuations connect…
A tower is a sequence of words alternating between two languages in such a way that every word is a subsequence of the following word. The height of the tower is the number of words in the sequence. If there is no infinite tower (a tower of…
We consider overdetermined systems of difference equations for a single function $u$ which are consistent, and propose a general framework for their analysis. The integrability of such systems is defined as the existence of higher order…
We consider the concept of rank as a measure of the vertical levels and positions of elements of partially ordered sets (posets). We are motivated by the need for algorithmic measures on large, real-world hierarchically-structured data…
We present two main contributions to the expected star discrepancy theory. First, we derive a sharper expected upper bound for jittered sampling, improving the leading constants and logarithmic terms compared to the state-of-the-art [Doerr,…
Under large cardinal hypotheses beyond the Kunen inconsistency -- hypotheses so strong as to contradict the Axiom of Choice -- we solve several variants of the generalized continuum problem and identify structural features of the levels…
Clumping in stellar winds of hot stars is a possible consequence of radiative-acoustic instability appearing in solutions of radiative-hydrodynamical equations. However, clumping is usually included to stellar atmosphere modeling and…
Many classification problems consider classes that form a hierarchy. Classifiers that are aware of this hierarchy may be able to make confident predictions at a coarse level despite being uncertain at the fine-grained level. While it is…
Astronomers generally assume planet-forming disks are aligned with the rotation of their host star. However, recent observations have shown evidence of warping in protoplanetary disks. One can measure the statistical alignment between the…
For a group G with trivial center there is a natural embedding of G into its automorphism group, so we can look at the latter as an extension of the group. So an increasing continuous sequence of groups, the automorphism tower, is defined,…
Matrix theory is a proposed non-perturbative definition of superstring theory in which space is emergent. We begin a study of cosmology in the context of matrix theory. Specifically, we show that matrix theory can lead to an emergent…
It is shown that non-supersymmetric spacetime varying string vacua can lead to an exponential hierarchy between the electroweak and the gravitational scales. The hierarchy is naturally generated by a string coupling of O(1).
Ground-based optical surveys such as PanSTARRS, DES, and LSST, will produce large catalogs to limiting magnitudes of r > 24. Star-galaxy separation poses a major challenge to such surveys because galaxies---even very compact…
We briefly discuss the status of the intermittency hypothesis, according to which the grand minima type variability in solar-type stars may be understood in terms of dynamical intermittency. We review concrete examples which establish this…
Cross-classified multilevel modelling is an extension of standard multilevel modelling for non-hierarchical data that have cross-classified structures. Traditional multilevel models involve hierarchical data structures whereby lower level…
Constellations are partial algebras that are one-sided generalisations of categories. It has previously been shown that the category of inductive constellations is isomorphic to the category of left restriction semigroups. Here we consider…
We study the equational theory of the Weihrauch lattice with composition and iterations, meaning the collection of equations between terms built from variables, the lattice operations $\sqcup$, $\sqcap$, the composition operator $\star$ and…
We provide probabilistic lower bounds for the star discrepancy of Latin hypercube samples. These bounds are sharp in the sense that they match the recent probabilistic upper bounds for the star discrepancy of Latin hypercube samples proved…
In classification problems, especially those that categorize data into a large number of classes, the classes often naturally follow a hierarchical structure. That is, some classes are likely to share similar structures and features. Those…
