We start with a bijective proof of Schur's theorem due to Alladi and Gordon and describe how a particular iteration of it leads to some very general theorems on colored partitions. These theorems imply a number of important results,…

We present a new theoretical framework that unifies category-theoretic fixed-point constructions, transfinite recursion, and game-based semantics to model how interpretations of language can stabilize through unlimited self-reference. By…

Feferman proved in 1962 that any arithmetical theorem is a consequence of a suitable transfinite iteration of full uniform reflection of $\mathsf{PA}$. This result is commonly known as Feferman's completeness theorem. The purpose of this…

G\"odel's argument for the First Incompleteness Theorem is, structurally, a proof by contradiction. This article intends to reframe the argument by, first, isolating an additional assumption the argument relies on, and then, second, arguing…

The primary goal of this paper is to provide a general multiplicity estimate. Our main theorem allows to reduce a proof of multiplicity lemma to the study of ideals stable under some appropriate transformation of a polynomial ring. In…

We prove that the problem of deciding whether a given morphic sequence is uniformly recurrent is decidable. The proof uses decidability of HD0L periodicity problem, which was recently proved in papers of F.Durand and I.Mitrofanov.

This note contains two remarks. The first remark concerns the extension of the well-known Cayley representation of rotation matrices by skew symmetric matrices to rotation matrices admitting -1 as an eigenvalue and then to all orthogonal…

In reverse mathematics, is is possible to have a curious situation where we know that an implication does not reverse, but appear to have no information on on how to weaken the assumption while preserving the conclusion. A main cause of…

Given a first-order sentence, a model-checking computation tests whether the sentence holds true in a given finite structure. Data provenance extracts from this computation an abstraction of the manner in which its result depends on the…

In this paper we consider a fragment of the first-order theory of the real numbers that includes systems of equations of continuous functions in bounded domains, and for which all functions are computable in the sense that it is possible to…

For Hilbert, the consistency of a formal theory T is an infinite series of statements "D is free of contradictions" for each derivation D and a consistency proof is i) an operation that, given D, yields a proof that D is free of…

New results on strong-consistency, in the Hilbert-Schmidt and trace operator norms, are obtained, in the parameter estimation of an autoregressive Hilbertian process of order one (ARH(1) process). In particular, a strongly-consistent…

Continuing [Fuchino, Ottenbreit and Sakai[9, 10]] and [Fuchino and Ottenbreit[11]], we further study reflection principles in connection with the L\"owenheim-Skolem Theorems of stationary logics. In this paper, we mainly analyze the…

Martin's remarkable proof of $\mathbf{\Pi}^1_2$-determinacy from an iterable rank-into-rank embedding highlighted the connection between large cardinals and determinacy. In this paper, we isolate a large cardinal object called a measurable…

This paper is devoted to systematic studies of some extensions of first-order G\"odel logic. The first extension is the first-order rational G\"odel logic which is an extension of first-order G\"odel logic, enriched by countably many…

Measuring how quickly iterative methods converge is essential in computational mathematics, but current approaches have significant limitations. Q-order analysis requires strict smoothness conditions, while R-order analysis lacks precision…
