We give a sharp lower bound on the capacity of a real stable polynomial, depending only on the value of its gradient at $x = 1$. This result implies a sharp improvement to a similar inequality proved by Linial-Samorodnitsky-Wigderson in…

We show that it is provable in PA that there is an arithmetically definable sequence $\{\phi_{n}:n \in \omega\}$ of $\Pi^{0}_{2}$-sentences, such that - PRA+$\{\phi_{n}:n \in \omega\}$ is $\Pi^{0}_{2}$-sound and $\Pi^{0}_{1}$-complete - the…

We consider equation systems of the form X_1 = f_1(X_1, ..., X_n), ..., X_n = f_n(X_1, ..., X_n) where f_1, ..., f_n are polynomials with positive real coefficients. In vector form we denote such an equation system by X = f(X) and call f a…

Motivated by questions in robust control and switched linear dynamical systems, we consider the problem checking whether all convex combinations of k matrices in R^{n x n} are stable. In particular, we are interested whether there exist…

Preserving stability is a central problem in data-driven model order reduction of dynamical systems. For linear systems whose dynamics depend on geometric or physical parameters, multivariate rational approximation algorithms such as the…

The paper contains a proof for the P != NP hypothesis with the help of the two "natural" postulates. The postulates restrict capacity of the Turing machines and state that each independent and necessary condition of the problem should be…

Using an iterated Horner schema for evaluation of diophantine polynomials, we define a partial $\mu$-recursive "decision" algorithm decis as a "race" for a first nullstelle versus a first (internal) proof of non-nullity for such a…

P-time event graphs (P-TEGs) are event graphs where the residence time of tokens in places is bounded by specified time windows. In this paper, we define a new property of PTEGs, called weak consistency. In weakly consistent P-TEGs, the…

We study the logical complexity of proofs in cyclic arithmetic ($\mathsf{CA}$), as introduced in Simpson '17, in terms of quantifier alternations of formulae occurring. Writing $C\Sigma_n$ for (the logical consequences of) cyclic proofs…

We introduce the concept of sos-convex Lyapunov functions for stability analysis of both linear and nonlinear difference inclusions (also known as discrete-time switched systems). These are polynomial Lyapunov functions that have an…

A resource-bounded version of the statement "no algorithm recognizes all non-halting Turing machines" is equivalent to an infinitely often (i.o.) superpolynomial speedup for the time required to accept any coNP-complete language and also…

Let $x \in \mathbb{R}$ be arbitrary and consider the `greedy' approximation of $x$ by signed harmonic sums: given $a_n = \sum_{k \leq n} \varepsilon_k/k$ with $\varepsilon_k \in \left\{-1,1\right\}$, we set $\varepsilon_{n+1} = 1$ if $a_n…

A natural and established way to restrict the constraint satisfaction problem is to fix the relations that can be used to pose constraints; such a family of relations is called a constraint language. In this article, we study arc…

We investigate entropy minimization problems for quantum states subject to convex block-separable constraints. Our principal result is a quantitative stability theorem: under a natural confining (fixed-support) hypothesis, if a state has…

Bounds consistency is usually enforced on continuous constraints by first decomposing them into binary and ternary primitives. This decomposition has long been shown to drastically slow down the computation of solutions. To tackle this,…

The prevalent interpretation of G\"odel's Second Theorem states that a sufficiently adequate and consistent theory does not prove its consistency. It is however not entirely clear how to justify this informal reading, as the formulation of…
