Motivated by real-world machine learning applications, we consider a statistical classification task in a sequential setting where test samples arrive sequentially. In addition, the generating distributions are unknown and only a set of…

We conjecture that for a strongly minimal theory T in a finite signature satisfying the Zilber Trichotomy, there are only three possibilities for the recursive spectrum of T: all countable models of T are recursively presentable; none of…

In this paper we investigate algebraic properties of big Ramsey degrees in categories satisfying some mild conditions. As the first nontrivial consequence of the generalization we advocate in this paper we prove that small Ramsey degrees…

We consider a finite sequence of random points in a finite domain of a finite-dimensional Euclidean space. The points are sequentially allocated in the domain according to a model of cooperative sequential adsorption. The main peculiarity…

This article makes no claim to originality, other than, perhaps, the simple statement here called the {\it Abstract Maximum Principle}. Actually, the whole contents are strongly based on some H. Sussmann's and coauthors' papers, in which,…

This paper studies when a sequence of probability measures on a metric space admit subsequential weak limits. A sufficient condition called sequential tightness is formulated, which relaxes some assumptions for asymptotic tightness used in…

Existential rules, long known as tuple-generating dependencies in database theory, have been intensively studied in the last decade as a powerful formalism to represent ontological knowledge in the context of ontology-based query answering.…

Decision trees have long been recognized as models of choice in sensitive applications where interpretability is of paramount importance. In this paper, we examine the computational ability of Boolean decision trees in deriving, minimizing,…

This unpublished note is an alternate, shorter (and hopefully more readable) proof of the decidability of all minimal models. The decidability follows from a proof of the existence of a cellular term in each observational equivalence class…

We introduce an interesting method of proving separable reduction theorems - the method of elementary submodels. We are studying whether it is true that a set (function) has given property if and only if it has this property with respect to…

In this work we review and derive some elementary properties of the discrete renewal sequences based on a positive, finite and integer-valued random variable. Our results consider these sequences as dependent on the probability masses of…

This study involves definitions for multiple-counting regular and summation sequences of rho. My paper introduces and proves recurrent relationships for multiple-counting sequences and shows their association with Fermat's little theorem. I…

In contrast with the notion of complexity, a set $A$ is called anti-complex if the Kolmogorov complexity of the initial segments of $A$ chosen by a recursive function is always bounded by the identity function. We show that, as for…

Harvey Friedman shows that, over Peano Arithmetic, the consistency statement for a finitely axiomatised theory $A$ can be characterised as the weakest statement $C$ over Peano Arithmetic such that ${\sf PA}+C$ interprets $A$. We study which…

This paper builds model-theoretic tools to detect changes in complexity among the simple theories. We develop a generalization of dividing, called shearing, which depends on a so-called context c. This leads to defining c-superstability, a…

We present a new technique for proving logarithmic upper bounds for diameters of evolving random graph models, which is based on defining a coupling between random graphs and variants of random recursive trees. The advantage of the…

We conceptualize explainability in terms of logic and formula size, giving a number of related definitions of explainability in a very general setting. Our main interest is the so-called special explanation problem which aims to explain the…

Every bounded definable open set is a union of finitely many open strong cells in a weakly o-minimal expansion of a real closed field. We prove this fact and another theorem similar to it.
