The key element of the approach to the theory of necessary conditions in optimal control discussed in the paper is reduction of the original constrained problem to unconstrained minimization with subsequent application of a suitable…
Using a lattice model of polymers in a tube, we define one way to characterise different configurations of a given knot as either "local" or "non-local" and, for several ring polymer models, we provide both theoretical and numerical…
Fine-grained complexity theory is the area of theoretical computer science that proves conditional lower bounds based on the Strong Exponential Time Hypothesis and similar conjectures. This area has been thriving in the last decade, leading…
This paper investigates the approximation properties of deep neural networks with piecewise-polynomial activation functions. We derive the required depth, width, and sparsity of a deep neural network to approximate any H\"{o}lder smooth…
A slope $p/q$ is said to be characterizing for a knot $K$ if the homeomorphism type of the $p/q$-Dehn surgery along $K$ determines the knot up to isotopy. Extending previous work of Lackenby and McCoy on hyperbolic and torus knots…
This work adresses the question of density of piecewise constant (resp. rigid) functions in the space of vector valued functions with bounded variation (resp. deformation) with respect to the strict convergence. Such an approximation…
We obtain two equivalent conditions for m polynomials in n variables to form a p-basis of a ring of constants of some polynomial K-derivation, where K is a UFD of characteristic p>0. One of these conditions involves jacobians, and the…
When approximating a space curve, it is natural to consider whether the knot type of the original curve is preserved in the approximant. This preservation is of strong contemporary interest in computer graphics and visualization. We…
We provide a combinatorial characterisation of positive diagrams satisfying the equality in the Morton-Franks-Williams bound for the degrees of the HOMFLY-PT polynomial. This characterisation allows generating with relative ease examples of…
It is known that the linking form on the 2-cover of slice knots has a metabolizer. We show that several weaker conditions, or some other conditions related to sliceness, do not imply the existence of a metabolizer. We then show how the…
For arbitrary nontrivial linear combinations of a finite number of Poisson kernels, the fulfillment of the Nagy condition is established for all numbers n, starting from some number. It is also proved for any n the existence of linear…
In this paper, we obtain necessary optimality conditions for neural network approximation. We consider neural networks in Manhattan ($l_1$ norm) and Chebyshev ($\max$ norm). The optimality conditions are based on neural networks with at…
In this paper, among other things, we show that, given $r\in N$, there is a constant $c=c(r)$ such that if $f\in C^r[-1,1]$ is convex, then there is a number ${\mathcal N}={\mathcal N}(f,r)$, depending on $f$ and $r$, such that for…
We propose a sufficient condition for invertibility of a polynomial mapping function defined on a cube or simplex. This condition is applicable to finite element analysis using curved meshes. The sufficient condition is based on an analysis…
We give a sufficient and necessary condition for a probability measure $\mu$ on the real line to satisfy the logarithmic Sobolev inequality for convex functions. The condition is expressed in terms of the unique left-continuous and…
Contraction theory is an analytical tool to study differential dynamics of a non-autonomous (i.e., time-varying) nonlinear system under a contraction metric defined with a uniformly positive definite matrix, the existence of which results…
We give a number theoretic proof of the integrality of certain BPS invariants of knots. The formulas for these numbers are sums involving binomial coefficients and the M\"obius function. We also prove a conjecture about further divisibility…
This paper aims to give a one-to-one correspondence between $SU(2)$-representations of knot groups and colorings of knots with spherical quandles and give a geometric meaning of the "trace-free" condition we need to define Casson-Lin…
Interpolation and approximation of functionals with conditionally positive definite kernels is considered on sets of centers that are not determining for polynomials. It is shown that polynomial consistency is sufficient in order to define…
The A-polynomial is a knot invariant related to the space of $SL_2(\mathbb{C})$ representations of the knot group. In this paper our interests lies in the logarithmic Gauss map of the A-polynomial. We develop a homological point of view on…
