We consider the lattice, $\mathcal{L}$, of all subsets of a multidimensional contingency table and establish the properties of monotonicity and supermodularity for the marginalization function, $n(\cdot)$, on $\mathcal{L}$. We derive from…
In this paper we develop a capacities theory connected with the fractional Sobolev spaces with variable exponents. Two kinds of capacities are studied: Sobolev capacity and relative capacity. Basic properties of capacities, including…
We propose a definition for the entropy of capacities defined on lattices. Classical capacities are monotone set functions and can be seen as a generalization of probability measures. Capacities on lattices address the general case where…
We investigate the problem of finding upper and lower bounds for a Choquet risk measure of a nonlinear function of two risk factors, when the marginal distributions of the risk factors are ambiguous and represented by nonadditive measures…
We present results for Choquet integrals with minimal assumptions on the monotone set function through which they are defined. They include the equivalence of sublinearity and strong subadditivity independent of regularity assumptions on…
Given a probability measure over a state space, a partial collection (sub-$\sigma$-algebra) of events whose probabilities are known, induces a capacity over the collection of all possible events. The \emph{induced capacity} of an event $F$…
Choquet capacities and integrals are central concepts in decision making under ambiguity or model uncertainty, pioneered by Schmeidler. Motivated by risk optimization problems for quantiles under ambiguity, we study the subclass of Choquet…
We investigate the influence of the granularity of the lattice on the potential between monopoles. Using the flux definition of monopoles we introduce their centers of mass and are able to realize continuous shifts of the monopole…
If $Au=-div(a(x,Du))$ is a monotone operator defined on the Sobolev space $W^{1,p}(R^n)$, $1<p<+\infty$, with $a(x,0)=0$ for a.e. $x\in R^n$, the capacity $C_A(E,F)$ relative to $A$ can be defined for every pair $(E,F)$ of bounded sets in…
We investigate the connection between measure, capacity and algorithmic randomness for the space of closed sets. For any computable measure m, a computable capacity T may be defined by letting T(Q) be the measure of the family of closed…
The paper deals with the theory of inner (outer) capacities on locally compact spaces with respect to general function kernels, the main emphasis being placed on the establishment of alternative characterizations of inner (outer) capacities…
We consider a totally monotone capacity on a Polish space and a sequence of bounded p.i.i.d. random variables. We show that, on a full set, any cluster point of empirical averages lies between the lower and the upper Choquet integrals of…
We investigate the connection between measure and capacity for the space of nonempty closed subsets of {0,1}*. For any computable measure, a computable capacity T may be defined by letting T(Q) be the measure of the family of closed sets…
Evaluating the channel capacity is one of many key problems in information theory. In this work we derive rather-mild sufficient conditions under which the capacity is finite and achievable. These conditions are derived for generic,…
This paper explores the distribution of indistinguishable balls into distinct urns with varying capacity constraints, a foundational issue in combinatorial mathematics with applications across various disciplines. We present a comprehensive…
Bi-capacities arise as a natural generalization of capacities (or fuzzy measures) in a context of decision making where underlying scales are bipolar. They are able to capture a wide variety of decision behaviours, encompassing models such…
When the information about uncertainty cannot be quantified in a simple, probabilistic way, the topic of possibilistic decision theory is often a natural one to consider. The development of possibilistic decision theory has lead to a series…
We study the strong disorder regime of Floquet topological systems in dimension two, that describe independent electrons on a lattice subject to a periodic driving. In the spectrum of the Floquet propagator we assume the existence of an…
This paper first gives a necessary and sufficient condition that a lattice $L$ can be represented as the collection of all up-sets of a poset. Applying the condition, it obtains a necessary and sufficient condition that a lattice can be…
We consider the lattice of all the weak factorization systems on a given finite lattice. We prove that it is semidistributive, trim and congruence uniform. We deduce a graph theoretical approach to the problem of enumerating transfer…
