We combine the language of monoids with the language of preorders so as to refine some fundamental aspects of the classical theory of factorization and prove an abstract factorization theorem with a variety of applications. In particular,…
Complex functions have multiple uses in various fields of study, so analyze their characteristics it is of extensive interest to other sciences. This work begins with a particular class of rational functions of a complex variable; over this…
We make the case for neural network objects and extend an already existing neural network calculus explained in detail in Chapter 2 on \cite{bigbook}. Our aim will be to show that, yes, indeed, it makes sense to talk about neural network…
We consider maps between commutative groups and their functional degrees. These degrees are defined based on a simple idea -- the functional degree should decrease if a discrete derivative is taken. We show that the maps of finite…
We consider sequences of integers defined by a system of linear inequalities with integer coefficients. We show that when the constraints are strong enough to guarantee that all the entries are nonnegative, the generating function for the…
A finite subset $M \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ is basic, if for any function $f \colon M \to \mathbb{R}$ there exists a collection of functions $f_1, \ldots, f_d \colon \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}$ such that for each element $(x_1, \ldots, x_d)\in…
We solve an elementary number theory problem on sums of fractional parts, using methods from group theory. We apply our result to deduce the finiteness of certain monodromy representations.
We use the properties of Hermite and Kamp\'e de F\'eriet polynomials to get closed forms for the repeated derivatives of functions whose argument is a quadratic or higher-order polynomial. The results we obtain are extended to product of…
A sequence of rational functions in a variable $q$ is $q$-holonomic if it satisfies a linear recursion with coefficients polynomials in $q$ and $q^n$. We prove that the degree of a $q$-holonomic sequence is eventually a quadratic…
We present a practical algorithm to compute models of rational functions with minimal resultant under conjugation by fractional linear transformations. We also report on a search for rational functions of degrees 2 and 3 with rational…
Iterating Newton's method symbolically for the general quadratic yields a rational function, the numerator and denominator of which are polynomials with highly composite coefficients.
Decompositions of higher-order tensors into sums of simple terms are ubiquitous. We show that in order to verify that two tensors are generated by the same (possibly scaled) terms it is not necessary to compute the individual…
We consider a little-known abstract decomposition result for positive measures due to Dellacherie, and show that it yields many decompositions of measures, several of which are new. We then extend Dellacherie's result to (controlled) vector…
Given a zero-dimensional ideal I in a polynomial ring, many computations start by finding univariate polynomials in I. Searching for a univariate polynomial in I is a particular case of considering the minimal polynomial of an element in…
In this paper we contribute to the frequently studied question of how to decompose a continuous piecewise linear (CPWL) function into a difference of two convex CPWL functions. Every CPWL function has infinitely many such decompositions,…
Recently, Bruinier and Ono found an algebraic formula for the partition function in terms of traces of singular moduli of a certain non-holomorphic modular function. In this paper we prove that the rational polynomial having these singuar…
This paper is concerned with the study of the fractional finite sums theory. We present the classes of functions for which it is possible to characterize the constant related to the derivative of fractional sums (denominated by essence of a…
We present a framework to decompose real multivariate polynomials while preserving invariance and positivity. This framework has been recently introduced for tensor decompositions, in particular for quantum many-body systems. Here we…
We give an explicit upper bound for the algebraic degree and an explicit lower bound for the absolute value of the minimum of a polynomial function on a compact connected component of a basic closed semialgebraic set when this minimum is…
We introduce the notion of "quasi-symmetric" polynomials, which is a generalization of the notion of symmetry, and is particularly suited to the setting of polynomial rings over finite fields. The properties of this new class of functions…
