Pairwise comparison matrices are increasingly used in settings where some pairs are missing. However, there exist few inconsistency indices for similar incomplete data sets and no reasonable measure has an associated threshold. This paper…
This study examines the notion of generators of a pairwise comparisons matrix. Such approach decreases the number of pairwise comparisons from $n\cdot (n-1)$ to $n-1$. An algorithm of reconstructing of the PC matrix from its set of…
We examine the notion of inconsistency in pairwise comparisons and propose an axiomatization which is independent of any method of approximation or the inconsistency indicator definition (e.g., Analytic Hierarchy Process, AHP). It has been…
Under the name prime decomposition (pd), a unique decomposition of an arbitrary $N$-dimensional density matrix $\rho$ into a sum of seperable density matrices with dimensions given by the coprime factors of $N$ is introduced. For a class of…
Pairwise comparison matrices are widely used in Multicriteria Decision Making. This article applies incomplete pairwise comparison matrices in the area of sport tournaments, namely proposing alternative rankings for the 2010 Chess Olympiad…
Matrix elements between shifted correlated Gaussians of various potentials with several form-factors are calculated analytically. Analytic matrix elements are of importance for the correlated Gaussian method in quantum few-body physics.
We illustrate the point with an empirical analysis of assortative mating in the US, namely, that the outcome of comparing two distant groups can be sensitive to whether comparing the groups directly, or indirectly via a series of…
We examine three methods for ranking by pairwise comparison: Principal Eigenvector, HodgeRank and Tropical Eigenvector. It is shown that the choice of method can produce arbitrarily different rank order.To be precise, for any two of the…
We present a new method of analysis of associative algebras. This method bears a certain resemblance to the famous analysis of commutative $C^*$-algebras in which an important role is played by multiplicative functionals over the algebra.…

Matrix representations are a powerful tool for designing efficient algorithms for combinatorial optimization problems such as matching, and linear matroid intersection and parity. In this paper, we initiate the study of matrix…
We construct a graded Lie algebra $\mathcal{E}$ in which the Maurer-Cartan equation is equivalent to the vacuum Einstein equations. The gauge groupoid is the groupoid of rank 4 real vector bundles with a conformal inner product, over a…
In this paper we study generic M(atrix) theory compactifications that are specified by a set of quotient conditions. A procedure is proposed, which both associates an algebra to each compactification and leads deductively to general…
The tensor train decomposition decomposes a tensor into a "train" of 3-way tensors that are interconnected through the summation of auxiliary indices. The decomposition is stable, has a well-defined notion of rank and enables the user to…
A description of a ring of functions on the base of a universal formal deformation for several moduli problems is given. The answer is given in terms of a homology group of a certain dg Lie algebra canonically (up to an essentially unique…
We give a complete classification of the class of Lie algebras of simply connected real Lie groups whose nontrivial coadjoint orbits are of codimension 1. Such a Lie group belongs to a well-known class, called the class of MD-groups. The…
