We introduce a novel approach to the automated termination analysis of computer programs: we use neural networks to represent ranking functions. Ranking functions map program states to values that are bounded from below and decrease as a…

We extend Goldie's (1991) Implicit Renewal Theorem to enable the analysis of recursions on weighted branching trees. We illustrate the developed method by deriving the power tail asymptotics of the distributions of the solutions R to: R =_D…

We propose estimators based on kernel ridge regression for nonparametric causal functions such as dose, heterogeneous, and incremental response curves. Treatment and covariates may be discrete or continuous in general spaces. Due to a…

A recursion operator is an integro-differential operator which maps a generalized symmetry of a nonlinear PDE to a new symmetry. Therefore, the existence of a recursion operator guarantees that the PDE has infinitely many higher-order…

We study an inverse boundary value problem for the nonlinear wave equation in $2 + 1$ dimensions. The objective is to recover an unknown potential $q(x, t)$ from the associated Dirichlet-to-Neumann map using real-valued waves. We propose a…

Given a linear recurrence of the form $c_n=a_1c_{n-1}+\cdots+a_j c_{n-j}$, it is well-known that $c_n=\sum_{r}p_r(n)r^n$, where the sum is taken over the set of characteristic roots and each $p_r(n)$ is some polynomial. We give a closed…

We consider radially symmetric solutions for a class of resonant problems on a unit ball $B \subset R^n$ around the origin \[ \Delta u+\la _1 u +g(u)=f(r) \s \mbox{for $x \in B$}, \s u=0 \s \mbox{on $\partial B$} \,. \] Here the function…

Many theorems of mathematics have the form that for a certain problem, e.g. a differential equation or polynomial (in)equality, there exists a solution. The sequential version then states that for a sequence of problems, there is a sequence…
