In this paper, we investigate the verification of quantized Graph Neural Networks (GNNs), where some fixed-width arithmetic is used to represent numbers. We introduce the linear-constrained validity (LVP) problem for verifying GNNs…

The existence of quantum tunneling opens the possibility of a sudden spatial relocalization of a system after a minor modification of its parameters. Such a quantum analogue of the Thom's classical catastrophe would manifest itself,…

We classify low-energy $\alpha$-harmonic maps from a closed non-spherical Riemannian surface $\Sigma$ of constant curvature to the round sphere via their bubble scales and centres. In particular we show that as $1<\alpha\downarrow 1$ and…

We establish a universal approximation theorem for signatures of rough paths that are not necessarily weakly geometric. By extending the path with time and its rough path bracket terms, we prove that linear functionals of the signature of…

Local certification is a topic originating from distributed computing, where a prover tries to convince the vertices of a graph $G$ that $G$ satisfies some property $\mathcal{P}$. To convince the vertices, the prover gives a small piece of…

The Universal Approximation Theorem (UAT) guarantees universal function approximation but does not explain how residual models distribute approximation across layers. We reframe residual networks as a layer-wise approximation process that…
