For which unary predicates $P_1, \ldots, P_m$ is the MSO theory of the structure $\langle \mathbb{N}; <, P_1, \ldots, P_m \rangle$ decidable? We survey the state of the art, leading us to investigate combinatorial properties of…

We study a nonlinear decomposition of a positive definite matrix into two components: the inverse of another positive definite matrix and a symmetric matrix constrained to lie in a prescribed linear subspace. Equivalently, the inverse…

Describing systems in terms of choices and their resulting costs and rewards offers the promise of freeing algorithm designers and programmers from specifying how those choices should be made; in implementations, the choices can be realized…

Taking inspiration from the monadicity of complete atomic Boolean algebras, we prove that profinite modal algebras are monadic over Set. While analyzing the monadic functor, we recover the universal model construction - a construction…

We consider the first-order theory of random variables with the probabilistic independence relation, which concerns statements consisting of random variables, the probabilistic independence symbol, logical operators, and existential and…

One can perform equational reasoning about computational effects with a purely functional programming language thanks to monads. Even though equational reasoning for effectful programs is desirable, it is not yet mainstream. This is partly…

A univariate continuous function can always be decomposed as the sum of a non-increasing function and a non-decreasing one. Based on this property, we propose a non-parametric regression method that combines two spline-fitted monotone…

Previous studies have used a specific success metric within an algorithmic search framework to prove machine learning impossibility results. However, this specific success metric prevents us from applying these results on other forms of…

The satisfiability problem in real closed fields is decidable. In the context of satisfiability modulo theories, the problem restricted to conjunctive sets of literals, that is, sets of polynomial constraints, is of particular importance.…

Infamously, the finite and unrestricted implication problems for the classes of i) functional and inclusion dependencies together, and ii) embedded multivalued dependencies alone are each undecidable. Famously, the restriction of i) to…

Consider a (possibly infinite) exchangeable sequence X={X_n:1\leqn<N}, where N\in N\cup {\infty}, with values in a Borel space (A,A), and note X_n=(X_1,...,X_n). We say that X is Hoeffding decomposable if, for each n, every square…

First-order temporal logics are notorious for their bad computational behaviour. It is known that even the two-variable monadic fragment is highly undecidable over various linear timelines, and over branching time even one-variable…

Probability theory can be studied synthetically as the computational effect embodied by a commutative monad. In the recently proposed Markov categories, one works with an abstraction of the Kleisli category and then defines deterministic…
