In this review paper we study non-compact operators and embeddings between function spaces, highlighting interesting phenomena and the significance of Bernstein numbers. In particular, we demonstrate that for non-compact maps the usual…
Unsupervised learning of latent variable models (LVMs) is widely used to represent data in machine learning. When such models reflect the ground truth factors and the mechanisms mapping them to observations, there is reason to expect that…
Elementary facts and observations on the cone of supermodular set functions are recalled. The manuscript deals with such operations with set functions which preserve supermodularity and the emphasis is put on those such operations which…
We characterize the full classes of M-estimators for semiparametric models of general functionals by formally connecting the theory of consistent loss functions from forecast evaluation with the theory of M-estimation. This novel…
This work delves into the {\it quotient of an affine semigroup by a positive integer}, exploring its intricate properties and broader implications. We unveil an {\it associated tree} that serves as a valuable tool for further analysis.…
In this paper, we define finitely additive, probability and modular functions over semiring-like structures. We investigate finitely additive functions with the help of complemented elements of a semiring. We also generalize some classical…
An important classification of permutations over $\mathbb{F}_2^m$, suitable for constructing Maiorana-McFarland bent functions on $\mathbb{F}_2^m \times \mathbb{F}_2^m$ with the unique $M$-subspace of maximal dimension, was recently…
We introduce the notion of differential largeness for fields equipped with several commuting derivations (as an analogue to largeness of fields). We lay out the foundations of this new class of "tame" differential fields. We state several…
We argue that there should exist a "noncommutative Fourier transform" which should identify functions of noncommutative variables (say, of matrices of indeterminate size) and ordinary functions or measures on the space of paths. Some…
Set function learning has emerged as a crucial area in machine learning, addressing the challenge of modeling functions that take sets as inputs. Unlike traditional machine learning that involves fixed-size input vectors where the order of…
Special functions are often defined as a Fourier or Laplace transform of a positive measure, and the positivity of the measure manifests as positive definiteness of certain matrices. The purpose of this expository note is to give a sample…
Characteristic functions contain complete information about all the moments of a classical distribution and the same holds for the Fourier transform of the Wigner function: a quantum characteristic function, or the chord function. However,…
The set of all subsets of any inverse semigroup forms an involution semiring under set-theoretical union and element-wise multiplication and inversion. We find structural conditions on a finite inverse semigroup guaranteeing that neither…
When developing and assessing density functional theory methods, a finite basis set is usually employed. In most cases, however, the issue of basis set dependency is neglected. Here, we assess several basis sets and functionals. In…
We investigate the partial orderings of the form (P(X),\subset), where X is a relational structure and P(X) the set of the domains of its isomorphic substructures. A rough classification of countable binary structures corresponding to the…
We provide conditions under which a modular function defined on a semilattice $X$ and with values in a commutative group is homomorphic to a modular function on a lattice $L$ for any embedding $X\hookrightarrow L$.
A semi-algebraic set is a subset of $\mathbb{R}^n$ defined by a finite collection of polynomial equations and inequalities. In this paper, we investigate the problem of determining whether two points in such a set belong to the same…
The concept of permutograph is introduced and properties of integral functions on permutographs are established. The central result characterizes the class of integral functions that are representable as lattice polynomials. This result is…
We give a brief account of a construction called tokens here, which is significant in algebra, analysis, combinatorics, and physics. Tokens allow to express a semigroup on one set via a semigroup convolution on another set. Therefore tokens…
A brief description of the relations between the factorization method in quantum mechanics, self-similar potentials, integrable systems and the theory of special functions is given. New coherent states of the harmonic oscillator related to…
