We study generalized sums of linear orders. These are binary operations that, given linear orders $A$ and $B$, return an order $A \oplus B$ that can be decomposed as an isomorphic copy of $A$ interleaved with a copy of $B$. We show that…

The relationship between Lexical-Functional Grammar (LFG) functional structures (f-structures) for sentences and their semantic interpretations can be expressed directly in a fragment of linear logic in a way that explains correctly the…

Algebraic characterizations of the computational aspects of functions defined over the real numbers provide very effective tool to understand what computability and complexity over the reals, and generally over continuous spaces, mean. This…

We find all polynomials f,g,h over a field K such that g and h are linear and f(g(x))=h(f(x)). We also solve the same problem for rational functions f,g,h, in case the field K is algebraically closed.

We consider the derivatives of Horn hypergeometric functions of any number variables with respect to their parameters. The derivative of the function in $n$ variables is expressed as a Horn hypergeometric series of $n+1$ infinite summations…

We present a linear functional calculus with both the safety guarantees expressible with linear types and the rich language of combinators and composition provided by functional programming. Unlike previous combinations of linear typing and…

If, in some problems, one has to deal with the ``product'' of distributions $\rm f_i$ (also called generalized functions) $\rm\bar T = \Pi^m_{i=1} f_i$, this product has a priori no definite meaning as a functional $(\rm \bar T, \phi) $ for…

The associativity property, usually defined for binary functions, can be generalized to functions of a given fixed arity n>=1 as well as to functions of multiple arities. In this paper, we investigate these two generalizations in the case…

We study the problem of testing whether a function f:R^n->R is linear (i.e., both additive and homogeneous) in the distribution-free property testing model, where the distance between functions is measured with respect to an unknown…

We consider several characterizations of $\mathbb R$-linear mappings. In particular, we give a characterization of linear mappings whose range is $\geq$ 2 dimensional, in terms of preservation of lines (and contraction of lines to a point)…

Favard's theorem characterizes bases of functions $\{p_n\}_{n\in\mathbb{Z}_+}$ for which $x p_n(x)$ is a linear combination of $p_{n-1}(x)$, $p_n(x)$, and $p_{n+1}(x)$ for all $n \geq 0$ with $p_{0}\equiv1$ (and $p_{-1}\equiv 0$ by…

These notes are about ridge functions. Recent years have witnessed a flurry of interest in these functions. Ridge functions appear in various fields and under various guises. They appear in fields as diverse as partial differential…

A finite sum of exponential functions may be expressed by a linear combination of powers of the independent variable and by successive integrals of the sum. This is proved for the general case and the connection between the parameters in…

This note studies, and partially solves, 3 elementary questions about continuous rational functions on real (and p-adic) algebraic varieties: Can one restrict such a function to a subvariety? Can one extend such a function from a…

Let us assume that $f$ is a continuous function defined on the unit ball of $\mathbb R^d$, of the form $f(x) = g (A x)$, where $A$ is a $k \times d$ matrix and $g$ is a function of $k$ variables for $k \ll d$. We are given a budget $m \in…

The results presented in this paper are refinements of some results presented in a previous paper. Three such refined results are presented. The first one relaxes one of the basic hypotheses assumed in the previous paper, and thus extends…

We consider an ordinary nonlinear differential equation with generalized coefficients as an equation in differentials in algebra of new generalized functions. Then the solution of such equation will be a new generalized function. In the…

We regard explanations as a blending of the input sample and the model's output and offer a few definitions that capture various desired properties of the function that generates these explanations. We study the links between these…

This paper is concerned with the study of the fractional finite sums theory. We present the classes of functions for which it is possible to characterize the constant related to the derivative of fractional sums (denominated by essence of a…

We present a new probabilistic modelling framework based on the recent notion of normal factor graph (NFG). We show that the proposed NFG models and their transformations unify some existing models such as factor graphs, convolutional…
