This survey describes some useful properties of the local homology of abstract simplicial complexes. Although the existing literature on local homology is somewhat dispersed, it is largely dedicated to the study of manifolds, submanifolds,…
In this paper we inititate the study of abstract simplicial complexes which are initial segments of qualitative probability orders. This is a natural class that contains the threshold complexes and is contained in the shifted complexes, but…
This paper proposes a new paradigm and computational framework for identification of correspondences between sub-structures of distinct composite systems. For this, we define and investigate a variant of traditional data clustering, termed…
The data of a physical experiment can be represented as a presheaf of probability distributions. A striking feature of quantum theory is that those probability distributions obtained in quantum mechanical experiments do not always admit a…
Fix a finite set of points in Euclidean $n$-space $\euc^n$, thought of as a point-cloud sampling of a certain domain $D\subset\euc^n$. The Rips complex is a combinatorial simplicial complex based on proximity of neighbors that serves as an…
We propose infinite mixture prototypes to adaptively represent both simple and complex data distributions for few-shot learning. Our infinite mixture prototypes represent each class by a set of clusters, unlike existing prototypical methods…
A general method for constructing simplicial complex from observed time series of dynamical systems based on the delay coordinate reconstruction procedure is presented. The obtained simplicial complex preserves all pertinent topological…
One-shot imitation is to learn a new task from a single demonstration, yet it is a challenging problem to adopt it for complex tasks with the high domain diversity inherent in a non-stationary environment. To tackle the problem, we explore…
The paper examines the construction and analysis of a new class of mixed exponential statistical structures that combine the properties of stochastic models and linear positive operators. The relevance of the topic is driven by the growing…
Hopfield networks are artificial neural networks which store memory patterns on the states of their neurons by choosing recurrent connection weights and update rules such that the energy landscape of the network forms attractors around the…
Decision-making in complex systems often relies on machine learning models, yet highly accurate models such as XGBoost and neural networks can obscure the reasoning behind their predictions. In operations research applications,…
Stochastic spreading models defined on complex network topologies are used to mimic the diffusion of diseases, information, and opinions in real-world systems. Existing theoretical approaches to the characterization of the models in terms…
A theory of sections of simplicial height functions is developed. At the core of this theory lies the section complex, which is assembled from higher section spaces. The latter encode flow lines along the height, as well as their…
The motivation of this work is to define cohomology classes in the space of knots that are both easy to find and to evaluate, by reducing the problem to simple linear algebra. We achieve this goal by defining a combinatorial graded cochain…
In this paper we consider simplicial families, that is, simplicial objects indexed by a simplicial set. We develop a method to construct family hypercover refinements of a cover family based on the notion of \emph{n-spans} that we introduce…
Simplicial complexes describe collaboration networks, protein interaction networks and brain networks and in general network structures in which the interactions can include more than two nodes. In real applications, often simplicial…
Visibility relations have been proposed by Henzinger et al. as an abstraction for proving linearizability of concurrent algorithms that obtains modular and reusable proofs. This is in contrast to the customary approach based on exhibiting…
Many random combinatorial objects have a component structure whose joint distribution is equal to that of a process of mutually independent random variables, conditioned on the value of a weighted sum of the variables. It is interesting to…
Given a simplicial complex $X$, we construct a simplicial complex $\Omega X$ that may be regarded as a combinatorial version of the based loop space of a topological space. Our construction explicitly describes the simplices of $\Omega X$…
We present an abstract framework for asymptotic analysis of convergence based on the notions of eventual families of sets that we define. A family of subsets of a given set is called here an "eventual family" if it is upper hereditary with…
