Using the tools of nonstandard analysis, we develop and present an alternative formulation of Bohmian mechanics. This approach allows one to describe a broader assortment of physical systems than the standard formulation of the theory. It…

In this paper, we establish a fundamental connection between binomial parameters and means of bounded random variables. Such connection finds applications in statistical inference of means of bounded variables.

The supersymmetric method is a powerful method for the evaluation of quenched averages in disordered systems. Among others, this method has been applied to the theory of S-matrix fluctuations, the theory of universal conductance…

Ramsey theory is the study of conditions under which mathematical objects show order when partitioned. Ramsey theory on the integers concerns itself with partitions of $[1,n]$ into $r$ subsets and asks the question whether one (or more) of…

Estimating the generalization error (GE) of machine learning models is fundamental, with resampling methods being the most common approach. However, in non-standard settings, particularly those where observations are not independently and…

Ultrafilters are a tool, originating in mathematical logic and general topology, that has steadily found more and more uses in multiple areas of mathematics, such as combinatorics, dynamics, and algebra, among others. The purpose of this…

We study Ramsey expansions of certain homogeneous 3-hypertournaments. We show that they exhibit an interesting behaviour and, in one case, they seem not to submit to current gold-standard methods for obtaining Ramsey expansions. This makes…

We discuss how the stochastic approach for supersymmetric theories leads to new ways of characterizing anomalies in how supersymmetry can be broken.

In Bayesian inference, an unknown measurement uncertainty is often quantified in terms of a Gamma distributed precision parameter, which is impractical when prior information on the standard deviation of the measurement uncertainty shall be…

Renormalization procedure is generalized to be applicable for non renormalizable theories. It is shown that introduction of an extra expansion parameter allows to get rid of divergences and express physical quantities as series of finite…

These notes are concerned with the existence and the basic properties of the set-theoretic universes for nonstandard analysis, compiled by a beginner in the subject. It assumes a basic background in first-order logic, though the necessary…

This paper presents analytical and experimental results on the ranked nodes method (RNM) that is used to construct conditional probability tables for Bayesian networks by expert elicitation. The majority of the results are focused on a…

We introduce the notion of a combinatorial inverse system in non-commutative variables. We present two important examples, some conjectures and results. These conjectures and results were suggested and supported by computer investigations.

Using nonstandard analysis (NSA), the proof of the Laplace's formula is given. The usage of NSA reduces the intricacy of taking limit, and the crude line of the proof would be clearly seen, compared to the done with the rigorous classical…

We propose a new \textit{quadratic programming-based} method of approximating a nonstandard density using a multivariate Gaussian density. Such nonstandard densities usually arise while developing posterior samplers for unobserved…

We develop some nonstandard techniques for bornological and coarse spaces. We first generalise the notion of bornology to prebornology, which better fits to coarse spaces. We then give nonstandard characterisations of some basic large-scale…
