To give positive answer to a question of Frantzikinakis, we study a class of subsets of $\mathbb{N}$, called interpolation sets, on which every bounded sequence can be extended to an almost periodic sequence on $\mathbb{N}$. Strzelecki has…

The notion of a k-automatic set of integers is well-studied. We develop a new notion - the k-automatic set of rational numbers - and prove basic properties of these sets, including closure properties and decidability.

With recent advances in natural language processing, rationalization becomes an essential self-explaining diagram to disentangle the black box by selecting a subset of input texts to account for the major variation in prediction. Yet,…

Surprisal theory links human processing effort to the predictability of an upcoming linguistic unit, but empirical work often leaves the notion of a unit underspecified. In practice, experimental stimuli are segmented into linguistically…

A causal set is a partially ordered set on a countably infinite ground-set such that each element is above finitely many others. A natural extension of a causal set is an enumeration of its elements which respects the order. We bring…

There are many examples of `binary' partial groups in the literature: sets equipped an identity and a partially-defined binary operation, such that each element admits an inverse. We show that many of these may be regarded as partial groups…

We study relativized Lascar groups, which are formed by relativizing Lascar groups to the solution set of a partial type $\Sigma$. We introduce the notion of a Lascar tuple for $\Sigma$ and by considering the space of types over a Lascar…

On the transversals of a subgroup of a group, using the binary operation of the group, structural mappings are defined. Based on these mappings, the notion of the hypergroup over the group is introduced, which generalizes the notion of the…

We generalize standard credal set models for imprecise probabilities to include higher order credal sets -- confidences about confidences. In doing so, we specify how an agent's higher order confidences (credal sets) update upon observing…

In this survey article, we give an introduction to the notion of a 2-Segal set and prove that 2-Segal sets are equivalent to pseudomonoids in the bicategory of spans. The proof utilizes graphical techniques for 2-Segal sets and spans that…

Fix $A$, a family of subsets of natural numbers, and let $G_A(n)$ be the maximum cardinality of a subset of $\{1,2,..., n\}$ that does not have any subset in $A$. We consider the general problem of giving upper bounds on $G_A(n)$ and give…

A regular sampling theory in a multiply generated unitary invariant subspace of a separable Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$ is proposed. This subspace is associated to a unitary representation of a countable discrete abelian group $G$ on…

The Union Closed Sets Conjecture states that in every finite, nontrivial set family closed under taking unions there is an element contained in at least half of all the sets of the family. We investigate two new directions with respect to…

NF set theory using intuitionistic logic is called iNF. We develop the theories of finite sets and their power sets and mappings, finite cardinals and their ordering, cardinal exponentiation, addition, and multiplication. We follow Rosser…

The cluster soft point is an attempt to introduce a novel generalization of the soft closure point and the soft limit point. A cluster soft set is defined to be the system of all cluster soft points of a soft set. Then the fundamental…

It was recently shown that arbitrary first-order models canonically extend to models (of the same language) consisting of ultrafilters. The main precursor of this construction was the extension of semigroups to semigroups of ultrafilters, a…

We show that in the category of preordered sets, there is a natural notion of pretorsion theory, in which the partially ordered sets are the torsion-free objects and the sets endowed with an equivalence relation are the torsion objects.…
