The theory of discrete stochastic systems has been initiated by the work of Shannon and von Neumann. While Shannon has considered memory-less communication channels and their generalization by introducing states, von Neumann has studied the…
This paper offers a brief introduction to the framework of "general probabilistic theories", otherwise known as the "convex-operational" approach the foundations of quantum mechanics. Broadly speaking, the goal of research in this vein is…
The probabilistic powerdomain $\mathbf V X$ on a space $X$ is the space of all continuous valuations on $X$. We show that, for every quasi-continuous domain $X$, $\mathbf V X$ is again a quasi-continuous domain, and that the Scott and weak…
The continuity equation relating the change in time of the position probability density to the gradient of the probability current density is generalized to PT-symmetric quantum mechanics. The normalization condition of eigenfunctions is…
A smooth function of the second moments of $N$ continuous variables gives rise to an uncertainty relation if it is bounded from below. We present a method to systematically derive such bounds by generalizing an approach applied previously…
The framework of generalized probabilistic theories (GPT) is a widely-used approach for studying the physical foundations of quantum theory. The standard GPT framework assumes the no-restriction hypothesis, in which the state space of a…
We introduce a second-order stochastic model to explore the variability in growth of biological shapes with applications to medical imaging. Our model is a perturbation with a random force of the Hamiltonian formulation of the geodesics.…
We introduce the framework of general probabilistic theories (GPTs for short). GPTs are a class of operational theories that generalize both finite-dimensional classical and quantum theory, but they also include other, more exotic theories,…
In this paper, we tailor-make new approximation operators inspired by rough set theory and specially suited for domain theory. Our approximation operators offer a fresh perspective to existing concepts and results in domain theory, but also…
The pull-back, push-forward and multiplication of smooth functions can be extended to distributions if their wave front set satisfies some conditions. Thus, it is natural to investigate the topological properties of these operations between…
The Shapley-Folkman theorem shows that Minkowski averages of uniformly bounded sets tend to be convex when the number of terms in the sum becomes much larger than the ambient dimension. In optimization, Aubin and Ekeland [1976] show that…
The vast majority of the literature on stochastic semidefinite programs (stochastic SDPs) with recourse is concerned with risk-neutral models. In this paper, we introduce mean-risk models for stochastic SDPs and study structural properties…
Kolmogorovs axiomatic framework is the best-known approach to describing probabilities and, due to its use of the Lebesgue integral, leads to remarkably strong continuity properties. However, it relies on the specification of a probability…
Probability is an important question in the ontological interpretation of quantum mechanics. It has been discussed in some trajectory interpretations such as Bohmian mechanics and stochastic mechanics. New questions arise when the…
We study the Stokes phenomenon for the solutions of general homogeneous linear moment partial differential equations with constant coefficients in two complex variables under condition that the Cauchy data are holomorphic on the complex…
The quantum state \psi is a mathematical object used to determine the probabilities of different outcomes when measuring a physical system. Its fundamental nature has been the subject of discussions since the inception of quantum theory: is…
Standard quantum theory admits naturally statistical ensembles that are both pre-selected and post-selected, i.e., they involve both an initial and a final state. We argue that there is no compelling physical reason to preclude a…
Formulas for the solutions of initial value problems for ordinary differential equations with singular $\delta^{(n)}$-like driving terms are derived in the framework of an algebra of generalized functions (of Colombeau type) over a field of…
Foundational cases of the generalized Stokes' theorem are visualized using geometric algebra. From considering bivector valued fields, two seldom used instances of the theorem are obtained. Graphical representations are given, showing a…
Strict frequentism defines probability as the limiting relative frequency in an infinite sequence. What if the limit does not exist? We present a broader theory, which is applicable also to random phenomena that exhibit diverging relative…
