We develop a unified categorical theory of substructural abstract syntax with variable binding and single-variable (capture-avoiding) substitution. This is done for the gamut of context structural rules given by exchange (linear theory)…

A Riemannian gradient descent algorithm and a truncated variant are presented to solve systems of phaseless equations $|Ax|^2=y$. The algorithms are developed by exploiting the inherent low rank structure of the problem based on the…

We introduce the simple extension complexity of a polytope P as the smallest number of facets of any simple (i.e., non-degenerate in the sense of linear programming) polytope which can be projected onto P. We devise a combinatorial method…

In the present note we focus on conic line arrangements in the plane with quasihomogeneous ordinary singularities from the perspective of weak Ziegler pairs. The foundations of this article come from an active area of research devoted to…

A fundamental question in computer science is: Is it harder to solve $n$ instances independently than to solve them simultaneously? This question, known as the direct sum question or direct sum theorem, has been paid much attention in…

This paper presents a theory of non-linear integer/real arithmetic and algorithms for reasoning about this theory. The theory can be conceived as an extension of linear integer/real arithmetic with a weakly-axiomatized multiplication…

We consider synchronous dynamic networks which like radio networks may have asymmetric communication links, and are affected by communication rather than processor failures. In this paper we investigate the minimal message survivability in…

We investigate a model of continuous-time simple random walk paths in $\mathbb{Z}^d$ undergoing two competing interactions: an attractive one towards the large values of a random potential, and a self-repellent one in the spirit of the…

The soft bootstrap is an on-shell method to constrain the landscape of effective field theories (EFTs) of massless particles via the consistency of the low-energy S-matrix. Given assumptions on the on-shell data (particle spectra, linear…

Spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB) is the cornerstone of our understanding of quantum phases of matter. Recent works have generalized this concept to the domain of mixed states in open quantum systems, where symmetries can be realized in…

A combinatorial principle CECA is formulated and its equivalence with GCH+ certain weakenings of Box_lambda for singular lambda is proved. CECA is used to show that certain ``almost point- < tau'' families can be refined to point- < tau…

The weak saturation number $\mathrm{wsat}(n,F)$ is the minimum number of edges in a graph on $n$ vertices such that all the missing edges can be activated sequentially so that each new edge creates a copy of $F$. A usual approach to prove a…

(English) This monograph aims at presenting the core weak convergence theory for sequences of random vectors with values in $\mathbb{R}^k$. In some places, a more general formulation in metric spaces is provided. It lays out the necessary…

The concept of convex compactness, weaker than the classical notion of compactness, is introduced and discussed. It is shown that a large class of convex subsets of topological vector spaces shares this property and that is can be used in…
