We introduce a framework that represents a dynamic program as a family of operators acting on a partially ordered set. We provide an optimality theory based only on order-theoretic assumptions and show how applications across almost all…

An analytically derived 'integral operator' approach is introduced to estimate the expectation value of a quantum operator for an evolving state weighted with an exponential function. This allows to compute quantities useful in Nuclear…

Operator systems are the unital self-adjoint subspaces of the bounded operators on a Hilbert space. Complex operator systems are an important category containing the C*-algebras and von Neumann algebras, which is increasingly of interest in…

Following the definitions of the algebras of differential operators, $\beta$-differential operators, and the quantum differential operators on a noncommutative (graded) algebra given in \cite{LR}, we describe these operators on the free…

This thesis is intended to provide an account of the theory and applications of Operational Methods that allow the "translation" of the theory of special functions and polynomials into a "different" mathematical language. The language we…

Many different types of fractional calculus have been proposed, which can be organised into some general classes of operators. For a unified mathematical theory, results should be proved in the most general possible setting. Two important…

We extend the theory of distributional kernel operators to a framework of generalized functions, in which they are replaced by integral kernel operators. Moreover, in contrast to the distributional case, we show that these generalized…

The goal of this thesis is threefold: first, to provide a general semantic setting for reasoning about incremental computation. Second, to establish and clarify the connection between derivatives in the incremental sense and derivatives in…

The notion of a Moreau envelope is central to the analysis of first-order optimization algorithms for machine learning. Yet, it has not been developed and extended to be applied to a deep network and, more broadly, to a machine learning…

We discuss ordinary differential equations with delay and memory terms in Hilbert spaces. By introducing a time derivative as a normal operator in an appropriate Hilbert space, we develop a new approach to a solution theory covering…

Probabilistic programming is related to a compositional approach to stochastic modeling by switching from discrete to continuous time dynamics. In continuous time, an operator-algebra semantics is available in which processes proceeding in…

Reactive programming is a programming paradigm whereby programs are internally represented by a dependency graph, which is used to automatically (re)compute parts of a program whenever its input changes. In practice reactive programming can…
