The proof identity problem asks: When are two proofs the same? The question naturally occurs when one reflects on mathematical practice. The problem understandably can be seen as a challenge for mathematical logic, and indeed various…
Given a symmetric social network, we are interested in testing whether it has only one community or multiple communities. The desired tests should (a) accommodate severe degree heterogeneity, (b) accommodate mixed-memberships, (c) have a…
Twenty years after the discovery of the F5 algorithm, Gr\"obner bases with signatures are still challenging to understand and to adapt to different settings. This contrasts with Buchberger's algorithm, which we can bend in many directions…
In proof theory the notion of canonical proof is rather basic, and it is usually taken for granted that a canonical proof of a sentence must be unique up to certain minor syntactical details (such as, e.g., change of bound variables). When…
We introduce SMGI, a structural theory of general artificial intelligence, and recast the foundational problem of learning from the optimization of hypotheses within fixed environments to the controlled evolution of the learning interface…
The notion of proof-net category defined in this paper is closely related to graphs implicit in proof nets for the multiplicative fragment without constant propositions of linear logic. Analogous graphs occur in Kelly's and Mac Lane's…
Concurrent multi-player mean-payoff games are important models for systems of agents with individual, non-dichotomous preferences. Whilst these games have been extensively studied in terms of their equilibria in non-cooperative settings,…
In this paper, we give novel certificates for triangular equivalence and rank profiles. These certificates enable to verify the row or column rank profiles or the whole rank profile matrix faster than recomputing them, with a negligible…
The signature of a membrane is a sequence of tensors whose entries are iterated integrals. We study algebraic properties of membrane signatures, with a focus on signature matrices of polynomial and piecewise bilinear membranes. Generalizing…
In this paper we prove a series of matching theorems for two sets of Coxeter generators of a finitely generated Coxeter group that identify common features of the two sets of generators. As an application, we describe an algorithm for…
In this paper, we prove a crucial theorem called Mirroring Theorem which affirms that given a collection of samples with enough information in it such that it can be classified into classes and subclasses then (i) There exists a mapping…
In this paper, we give novel certificates for triangular equivalence and rank profiles. These certificates enable somebody to verify the row or column rank profiles or the whole rank profile matrix faster than recomputing them, with a…
We study data structure problems related to document indexing and pattern matching queries and our main contribution is to show that the pointer machine model of computation can be extremely useful in proving high and unconditional lower…
This work concerns results on conditions guaranteeing that certain banded $M$-matrices have banded inverses. As a first goal, a graph theoretic characterization for an off-diagonal entry of the inverse of an $M$-matrix to be positive, is…
We provide an introduction to the topic of path signatures as means of feature extraction for machine learning from data streams. The article stresses the mathematical theory underlying the signature methodology, highlighting the conceptual…
Computational problem certificates are additional data structures for each output, which can be used by a-possibly randomized-verification algorithm that proves the correctness of each output. In this paper, we give an algorithm that…
We consider temporal logic verification of (possibly nonlinear) dynamical systems evolving over continuous state spaces. Our approach combines automata-based verification and the use of so-called barrier certificates. Automata-based…
In this paper, we define locally matchable subsets of a group which is derived from the concept of matchings in groups and used as a tool to give alternative proofs for existing results in matching theory. We also give the linear analogue…
Signature-based algorithms have become a standard approach for computing Gr\"obner bases in commutative polynomial rings. However, so far, it was not clear how to extend this concept to the setting of noncommutative polynomials in the free…
We present a device for specifying and reasoning about syntax for datatypes, programming languages, and logic calculi. More precisely, we study a notion of "signature" for specifying syntactic constructions. In the spirit of Initial…
