Most of the work on interpretable machine learning has focused on designing either inherently interpretable models, which typically trade-off accuracy for interpretability, or post-hoc explanation systems, which lack guarantees about their…

Crossed complexes are shown to have an algebra sufficiently rich to model the geometric inductive definition of simplices, and so to give a purely algebraic proof of the Homotopy Addition Lemma (HAL) for the boundary of a simplex. This…

A modeling methodology and matrix formalism is presented that permits analysis of arbitrarily complex interferometric waveguide systems, including polarization and backreflection effects. Considerable improvement results from separation of…

Foundational verification considers the functional correctness of programming languages with formalized semantics and uses proof assistants (e.g., Coq, Isabelle) to certify proofs. The need for verifying complex programs compels it to…

If $R$ is a commutative unital ring and $M$ is a unital $R$-module, then each element of $\operatorname{End}_R(M)$ determines a left $\operatorname{End}_{R}(M)[X]$-module structure on $\operatorname{End}_{R}(M)$, where…
