Density ratio estimation serves as an important technique in the unsupervised machine learning toolbox. However, such ratios are difficult to estimate for complex, high-dimensional data, particularly when the densities of interest are…

The information ratio offers an approach to assessing the efficacy with which an agent balances between exploration and exploitation. Originally, this was defined to be the ratio between squared expected regret and the mutual information…

The rankability of data is a recently proposed problem that considers the ability of a dataset, represented as a graph, to produce a meaningful ranking of the items it contains. To study this concept, a number of rankability measures have…

This short note reports a master theorem on tight asymptotic solutions to divide-and-conquer recurrences with more than one recursive term: for example, T(n) = 1/4 T(n/16) + 1/3 T(3n/5) + 4 T(n/100) + 10 T(n/300) + n^2.

We prove two inequalities regarding the ratio $\det(A+D)/\det A$ of the determinant of a positive-definite matrix $A$ and the determinant of its perturbation $A+D$. In the first problem, we study the perturbations that happen when positive…

We revisit the problem of computing the spreading and covering numbers. We show a connection between some of the spreading numbers and the number of non-negative integer 2x2 matrices whose entries sum to d, and we construct an algorithm to…

We define an index of a collection of 1-forms on a complex isolated complete intersection singularity corresponding to a Chern number and, in the case when the 1-forms are complex analytic, express it as the dimension of a certain algebra.

The divisor function $\sigma(n)$ sums the divisors of $n$. We call $n$ abundant when $\sigma(n) - n > n$ and perfect when $\sigma(n) - n = n$. I recently introduced the recursive divisor function $a(n)$, the recursive analog of the divisor…

A method for testing nonlinearity in time series is described based on information-theoretic functionals -- redundancies, linear and nonlinear forms of which allow either qualitative, or, after incorporating the surrogate data technique,…

In this paper we propose several variants to perform the independence test between two random elements based on recurrence rates. We will show how to calculate the test statistic in each one of these cases. From simulations we obtain that…

The recursive relation starts to appear by putting a function $y(x)=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty }d_n x^n$ into a linear ordinary differential equation (ODE). There can be $d$-term of sequences in the recurrence relation of a power series where…

Let $M_n$ be a random $n\times n$ matrix with i.i.d. $\text{Bernoulli}(1/2)$ entries. We show that for fixed $k\ge 1$, \[\lim_{n\to \infty}\frac{1}{n}\log_2\mathbb{P}[\text{corank }M_n\ge k] = -k.\]

In this paper we discuss abundance ratios and their relation to stellar nucleosynthesis and other parameters of chemical evolution models, reviewing and clarifying the correct use of the observed abundance ratios in several astrophysical…

Let $d_S$ denote the arithmetic density of a subset $S \subseteq \mathbb N$. We derive a power series in $q\in \mathbb C$, $|q|<1$, with co\"efficients related to integer partitions and integer compositions, that yields $1/d_S$ in the limit…

We study integrals of the form $\int_{\Omega}f\left( d\omega\right)$, where $1\leq k\leq n$, $f:\Lambda^{k}\rightarrow\mathbb{R}$ is continuous and $\omega$ is a $\left(k-1\right)$-form. We introduce the appropriate notions of convexity,…

Resilience is widely recognized as an important design goal though it is one that seems to escape a general and consensual understanding. Often mixed up with other system attributes; traditionally used with different meanings in as many…

In solving a system of $n$ linear equations in $d$ variables $Ax=b$, the condition number of the $n,d$ matrix $A$ measures how much errors in the data $b$ affect the solution $x$. Estimates of this type are important in many inverse…

We study fluctuations in diffusion-limited reaction systems driven out of their stationary state. Using a numerically exact method, we investigate fluctuation ratios in various systems which differ by their level of violation of microscopic…

The main result of this article is sub-additivity of the dp-rank. We also show that the study of theories of finite dp-rank can not be reduced to the study of its dp-minimal types, and discuss the possible relations between dp-rank and…

Analogical proportions compare pairs of items (a, b) and (c, d) in terms of their differences and similarities. They play a key role in the formalization of analogical inference. The paper first discusses how to improve analogical inference…
