We isolate a new class of ultrafilters on N, called "quasi-selective" because they are intermediate between selective ultrafilters and P-points. (Under the Continuum Hypothesis these three classes are distinct.) The existence of…
A split of a polytope $P$ is a (regular) subdivision with exactly two maximal cells. It turns out that each weight function on the vertices of $P$ admits a unique decomposition as a linear combination of weight functions corresponding to…
We define separating properties for normal ultrafilters. We prove that compactness and supercompactness are separable, yet compactness and measurability are not. We describe how to use separating properties in order to elicit distinct…
We show that in the model obtained by iteratively pseudo-intersecting a Ramsey ultrafilter via a length-$\omega_2$ countable support iteration of restricted Mathias forcing over a ground model satisfying $\textsf{CH}$, there is a unique…
The splitting number can be singular. The key method is to construct a forcing poset with finite support matrix iterations of ccc posets introduced by Blass and the second author "Ultrafilters with small generating sets", Israel J. Math.,…
This work provides a new multinomial resampling procedure for particle filter resampling, focused on the case where the number of samples required is less than or equal to the size of the underlying discrete distribution. This setting is…
We point out one of the differences between rapid ultrafilters and Q-points: Rapid ultrafilters may have empty intersection with van der Waerden ideal, whereas every Q-point has a non-empty intersection with van der Waerden ideal. Assuming…
Pseudocode in a scholarly paper provides a concise way to express the algorithms implemented therein. Pseudocode can also be thought of as an intermediary representation that helps bridge the gap between programming languages and natural…
Given a semigroup $S$, we introduce relative (with respect to a filter $\tau$ on $S$) versions of large, thick and prethick subsets of $S$, give the ultrafilter characterizations of these subsets and explain how large could be some cell in…
In literature, many important combinatorial properties of subsets of N have been studied both with nonstandard techniques and from the point of view of N. In this thesis we mix these two different approaches in a technique that, at the same…
We discuss some notions of compactness and convergence relative to a specified family F of subsets of some topological space X. The two most interesting particular cases of our construction appear to be the following ones. (1) The case in…
Many hypersurfaces in algebraic geometry, such as discriminants, arise as the projection of another variety. The real complement of such a hypersurface partitions its ambient space into open regions. In this paper, we propose a new method…
For ultrafilters u,v on N, the operation u/v is introduced and formalised which acts as quotient-like structures when v strongly divides u.Central to our study is the characterization of self-divisible ultrafilters in connection with the…
Considering the issue of estimating small probabilities p, ie. measuring a rare domain F = {x | g(x) > q} with respect to the distribution of a random vector X, Multilevel Splitting strategies (also called Subset Simulation) aim at writing…
In this paper, we propose a new approach to applying point-level annotations for weakly-supervised panoptic segmentation. Instead of the dense pixel-level labels used by fully supervised methods, point-level labels only provide a single…
Angle-resolved photoemission spectra are calculated microscopically for the two-dimensional attractive Hubbard model. A system of self-consistent T-matrix equations are solved numerically in the real-time domain. The single-particle…
In this paper we construct examples of irrational behavior of multiplicities and mixed multiplicities of divisorial filtrations. The construction makes essential use of anti-positive intersection products.
We investigate the structure of the Tukey types of ultrafilters on countable sets partially ordered by reverse inclusion. A canonization of cofinal maps from a p-point into another ultrafilter is obtained. This is used in particular to…
Pseudo-labeling is significant for semi-supervised instance segmentation, which generates instance masks and classes from unannotated images for subsequent training. However, in existing pipelines, pseudo-labels that contain valuable…
A divisibility relation on ultrafilters is defined as follows: ${\cal F}\hspace{1mm}\widetilde{\mid}\hspace{1mm}{\cal G}$ if and only if every set in $\cal F$ upward closed for divisibility also belongs to $\cal G$. After describing the…
