The National Football League (NFL) sets its regular season schedule to optimize viewership and minimize competitive inequities. One inequity assumed to impact team performance is rest differential, defined as the relative number of days…
It is shown that the universal theory of the free pseudocomplemented distributive lattice is decidable and a recursive axiomatization is presented. This contrasts with the case of the full elementary theory of the finitely generated free…
Let f be a transcendental meromorphic function. Suppose that the finite part of the postsingular set of f is bounded, that f has no recurrent critical points or wandering domains, and that the degree of pre-poles of f is uniformly bounded.…
We investigate existence and regularity properties of one-phase free boundary graphs, in connection with the question of whether there exists a complete non-planar free boundary graph in high dimensions.
We prove that the Thin Sandwich Conjecture in general relativity is valid, provided that the data $(g_{ab},\dot g_{ab})$ satisfy certain geometric conditions. These conditions define an open set in the class of possible data, but are not…
Given a locale $L$, the collection $\mathsf{S}_c(L)$ of joins of closed sublocales forms a frame--somewhat unexpectedly, as it is naturally embedded in the coframe of all sublocales of $L$, where by coframe we mean the order-theoretic dual…
Do NFL teams make rational decisions? What factors potentially affect the probability of wining a game in NFL? How can a team come back from a demoralizing interception? In this study we begin by examining the hypothesis of rational…
In this paper, we show the equivalency between the existence of fast neutrino flavor instability and that of neutrino flavor lepton number (NFLN) crossings, which indicates that an NFLN angular distribution takes both signs. The veracity of…
According to Courant's theorem, an eigenfunction as\-sociated with the $n$-th eigenvalue $\lambda\_n$ has at most $n$ nodal domains. A footnote in the book of Courant and Hilbert, states that the same assertion is true for any linear…
For a long time, Collatz Conjecture has been assumed to be true, although a formal proof has eluded all efforts to date. In this article, evidence is presented that suggests such an assumption is incorrect. By analysing the stopping times…
A highly cited and inspiring article by Bates et al (2024) demonstrates that the prediction errors estimated through cross-validation, Bootstrap or Mallow's $C_P$ can all be independent of the actual prediction errors. This essay…
We prove the existence of nowhere continuous bijections that satisfy the Costas property, as well as (countably and uncountably) infinite Golomb rulers. We define and prove the existence of real and rational Costas clouds, namely nowhere…
Approximating nonlinear dynamics with a truncated perturbative expan- sion may be accurate for a while, but it in general breaks down at a long time scale that is one over the small expansion parameter. There are interesting occasions in…
Duch\^ene and Rigo introduced the notion of invariance for take-away games on heaps. Roughly speaking, these are games whose rulesets do not depend on the position. Given a sequence $S$ of positive tuples of integers, the question of…
Cox's well-known theorem justifying the use of probability is shown not to hold in finite domains. The counterexample also suggests that Cox's assumptions are insufficient to prove the result even in infinite domains. The same…
In the mean field regime, neural networks are appropriately scaled so that as the width tends to infinity, the learning dynamics tends to a nonlinear and nontrivial dynamical limit, known as the mean field limit. This lends a way to study…
We prove two separate lower bounds -- one for nondegenerate convex domains and the other for nondegenerate $\mathbb{C}$-convex (but not necessarily convex) domains -- for the squeezing function that hold true for all domains in…
We prove that every quasicontinuous domain that fails to be quasialgebraic admits the unit interval [0, 1] as its monotone Lawson-continuous image. As a result, every countable quasicontinuous domain is quasialgebraic.
We prove the existence of nontrivial unbounded exceptional domains in the Euclidean space $\R^N$, $N\geq4$. These domains arise as perturbations of complements of straight cylinders in $\R^N$, and by definition they support a positive…
This article gives a new proof that fully connected neural networks with random weights and biases converge to Gaussian processes in the regime where the input dimension, output dimension, and depth are kept fixed, while the hidden layer…
