Perspective functions arise explicitly or implicitly in various forms in applied mathematics and in statistical data analysis. To date, no systematic strategy is available to solve the associated, typically nonsmooth, optimization problems.…
A theory of graded manifolds can be viewed as a generalization of differential geometry of smooth manifolds. It allows one to work with functions which locally depend not only on ordinary real variables, but also on $\mathbb{Z}$-graded…
In this paper, we overview one promising avenue of progress at the mathematical foundation of deep learning: the connection between deep networks and function approximation by affine splines (continuous piecewise linear functions in…
A paper is devoted to study of local behavior of so-called $Q$-mappings including qua\-si\-con\-for\-mal mappings and mappings with bounded distortion. It is showed that, such mappings have removable isolated singularities whenever the grow…
Trigonometry is the study of circular functions, which are functions defined on the unit circle $x^2+y^2 =1$, where distances are measured using the Euclidean norm. When distances are measured using the $L_p$-norm, we get generalized…
These notes are designed for those who either plan to work in differential geometry, or at least want to have a good reason not to do it. We discuss smooth curves and surfaces -- the main gate to differential geometry. We focus on the…
Strong product is an efficient way to construct a larger digraph through some specific small digraphs. The large digraph constructed by the strong product method contains the factor digraphs as its subgraphs, and can retain some good…
We study open-closed discrete mappings that satisfy the weighted estimate of the distortion of modulus of families of paths. It is proved that the mappings mentioned above have a continuous extension into the isolated point of the boundary,…
Distance-increasing maps from binary vectors to permutations, namely DIMs, are useful for the construction of permutation arrays. While a simple mapping algorithm defining DIMs of even length is known, existing DIMs of odd length are either…
Motivated by applications in geomorphology, the aim of this paper is to extend Morse-Smale theory from smooth functions to the radial distance function (measured from an internal point), defining a convex polyhedron in 3-dimensional…
The aim of this study is to analyze the properties of harmonic fields in the vicinity of rough boundaries where either a constant potential or a zero flux is imposed, while a constant field is prescribed at an infinite distance from this…
Diffusion state distance (DSD) is a metric on the vertices of a graph, motivated by bioinformatic modeling. Previous results on the convergence of DSD to a limiting metric relied on the definition being based on symmetric or reversible…
Over the past decade, the importance of the 1D signature which can be seen as a functional defined along a path, has been pivotal in both path-wise stochastic calculus and the analysis of time series data. By considering an image as a…
The present paper mainly presents, for example, explicit classifications of compact smooth manifolds having non-empty boundaries and simple structures where the dimensions are general. Studies of this type is fundamental and important. They…
A construction of integration, function calculus, and exterior calculus is made, allowing for integration of unital magma valued functions against (compactified) unital magma valued measures over arbitrary topological spaces. The Riemann…
In this paper, we give a characterization of distance matrices of distance-regular graphs to be invertible.
A strongly connected digraph is called a cactoid-type if each of its blocks is a digraph consisting of finitely many oriented cycles sharing a common directed path. In this article, we find the formula for the determinant of the distance…
Discussion about the convergence and divergence of trajectories generated by certain functions derived from generalized 3x+1 mappings
While exploring desirable properties of hash functions in cryptography, the author was led to investigate three notions of functions with scattering or "diffusive" properties, where the functions map between binary strings of fixed finite…
In this paper we show how the superquadratic functions can be used as a tool for researching other types of convex functions like $\phi $-convexity, strong-convexity and uniform convexity. We show how to use inequalities satisfied by…
