Computation of confidence sets is central to data science and machine learning, serving as the workhorse of A/B testing and underpinning the operation and analysis of reinforcement learning algorithms. This paper studies the geometry of the…

In this article we present an elementary introduction to the theory of minimal surfaces in Euclidean spaces $\mathbb R^n$ for $n\ge 3$ by using only elementary calculus of functions of several variables at the level of a typical second-year…

In this article we introduce a definition of topological minimal sets, which is a generalization of that of Mumford-Shah-minimal sets. We prove some general properties as well as two existence theorems for topological minimal sets. As an…

We consider the minimal number of points on a regular grid on the plane that generates $n$ line segments of points of exactly length $k$. We illustrate how this is related to the $n$-queens problem on the toroidal chessboard and show that…

A vertex subset S of a graph G is said to 2-dominate the graph if each vertex not in S has at least two neighbors in it. As usual, the associated parameter is the minimum cardinal of a 2-dominating set, which is called the 2-domination…

In several recent papers some concepts of convex analysis were extended to discrete sets. This paper is one more step in this direction. It is well known that a local minimum of a convex function is always its global minimum. We study some…

We consider point sets in the affine plane $\mathbb{F}_q^2$ where each Euclidean distance of two points is an element of $\mathbb{F}_q$. These sets are called integral point sets and were originally defined in $m$-dimensional Euclidean…

For the right-angled Artin group action on the extension graph, it is known that the minimal asymptotic translation length is bounded above by 2 provided that the defining graph has diameter at least 3. In this paper, we show that the same…

We conjecture that a class of Artinian Gorenstein Hilbert algebras called full Perazzo algebras always have minimal Hilbert function, fixing codimension and length. We prove the conjecture in length four and five, in low codimension. We…

We show that there is a system of 14 non-trivial finitary functions on the random graph with the following properties: Any non-trivial function on the random graph generates one of the functions of this system by means of composition with…

In this note, we use elementary submodels to prove that a separable monotonically normal compactum can be mapped on a separable metric space via a continuous function whose fibers have cardinality at most 2.

In this article, we give a proof for that the cardinality of a function basis of the invariants for a finite dimensional real vector space by a compact group is lower bounded by the intuitive difference of the dimensions of the vector space…

Sets of orthogonal basis functions over two-dimensional circular areas--most often representing pupils in optical applications--are known in the literature for the full circle (Zernike or Jacobi polynomials) and the annulus. This work…

In this paper, we consider situations in which a given logical function is realized by a multithreshold threshold function. In such situations, constant functions can be easily obtained from multithreshold threshold functions, and…

It is natural to expect that there are only three possible types of scaling limits for the collection of all percolation interfaces in the plane: (1) a trivial one, consisting of no curves at all, (2) a critical one, in which all points of…

In this paper we investigate the problem of learning an unknown bounded function. We be emphasize special cases where it is possible to provide very simple (in terms of computation) estimates enjoying in addition the property of being…

Random plane wave is conjectured to be a universal model for high-energy eigenfunctions of the Laplace operator on generic compact Riemanian manifolds. This is known to be true on average. In the present paper we discuss one of important…

Recall that a submanifold of a Riemannian manifold is said to be minimal if its mean curvature is zero. It is classical that minimal submanifolds are the critical points of the volume function. In this paper, we examine the critical points…

We study the local topological zeta function associated to a complex function that is holomorphic at the origin of C^2 (respectively C^3). We determine all possible poles less than -1/2 (respectively -1). On C^2 our result is a…

We consider the classical problem of determining the largest possible cardinality of a minimal presentation of a numerical monoid with given embedding dimension and multiplicity. Very few values of this cardinality are known. In addressing…
