We propose a quantum machine learning task that is provably easy for quantum computers and arguably hard for classical ones. The task involves predicting quantities of the form $\mathrm{Tr}[f(H)\rho]$, where $f$ is an unknown function,…
A new derivative, called deformable derivative, is introduced here which is equivalent to ordinary derivative in the sense that one implies other. The deformable derivative is defined using limit approach like that of ordinary one but with…

Functional determinants of differential operators play a prominent role in theoretical and mathematical physics, and in particular in quantum field theory. They are, however, difficult to compute in non-trivial cases. For one dimensional…

A function defined on the Boolean hypercube is $k$-Fourier-sparse if it has at most $k$ nonzero Fourier coefficients. For a function $f: \mathbb{F}_2^n \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ and parameters $k$ and $d$, we prove a strong upper bound on the…
In this paper we study some solution techniques of differential-difference equation $$ y'(x) = y(x + 1/2)- y(x- 1/2),$$ first without an initial condition and then with some initial function $h$ defined on the unit interval $ [-1/2, 1/2]$.…
This contribution deals with identification of fractional-order dynamical systems. We consider systems whose mathematical description is a three-member differential equation in which the orders of derivatives can be real numbers. We give a…
Given a fractional differential equation of order $\alpha \in (0,1]$ with Caputo derivatives, we investigate in a quantitative sense how the associated solutions depend on their respective initial conditions. Specifically, we look at two…
Classically, determining the gradient of a black-box function f:R^p->R requires p+1 evaluations. Using the quantum Fourier transform, two evaluations suffice. This is based on the approximate local periodicity of exp(2*pi*i*f(x)). It is…
For any finite field ${\mathbb F}_q$ with $q$ elements, we study the set ${\mathcal F}_{(q,m)}$ of functions from ${\mathbb F}_q^m$ into ${\mathbb F}^q$. We introduce a transformation that allows us to determine a linear system of $q^{m+1}$…
As an analogue of the Hadamard quotient problem in number theory, the quotient problem (in the sense of complex entire functions) for two sequences $F(n)=a_0+a_1f_1^n+\cdots+a_lf_l^n$ and $ G(n)=b_0+b_1g_1^n+\cdots+b_mg_m^n$, has been…

Purpose of writing this paper is to solve a transcendental function containing a product of a variable and its double exponential by a unique method of approximation. If the value of the said product is given, then its inverse function is…
Fractional dissipation is a powerful tool to study non-local physical phenomena such as damping models. The design of geometric, in particular, variational integrators for the numerical simulation of such systems relies on a variational…
We characterize all pairs $(\mathcal{A}$,$\mathcal{B})$ of generalized Riemann differences for which $\mathcal{A}$-differentiability implies $\mathcal{B}$-differentiability. Two generalized Riemann derivatives $\mathcal{A}$ and…
Based on the total integrability we first define an integral of a real valued function f as an interval function associated to its antiderivative F. By introducing the concept of the residue of a function into the real analysis, the…
Determining the maximal separation between sensitivity and block sensitivity of Boolean functions is of interest for computational complexity theory. We construct a sequence of Boolean functions with bs(f) = 1/2 s(f)^2 + 1/2 s(f). The best…
Scientific studies often require the precise calculation of derivatives. In many cases an analytical calculation is not feasible and one resorts to evaluating derivatives numerically. These are error-prone, especially for higher-order…
It is shown that there is an absolute constant $C$ such that any rational $\frac bq\in]0, 1[, (b, q)=1$, admits a representation as a finite sum $\frac bq=\sum_\alpha\frac {b_\alpha}{q_\alpha}$ where $\sum_\alpha\sum_ia_i(\frac…
