In the research on computational effects, defined algebraically, effect symbols are often expected to obey certain equations. If we orient these equations, we get a rewrite system, which may be an effective way of transforming or optimizing…

The concept of a superposition is a revolutionary novelty introduced by Quantum Mechanics. If a system may be in any one of two pure states x and y, we must consider that it may also be in any one of many superpositions of x and y. An…

I introduce a formalism for representing the syntax of recursively structured graph-like patterns. It does not use production rules, like a conventional graph grammar, but represents the syntactic structure in a more direct and declarative…

A combinatorial Morse structure encodes a mapping class for a surface with boundary, and the data may be efficiently represented via a Morse diagram. This diagram determines an open book decomposition of a 3-manifold, and hence, a contact…
