We extend the standard rough set-based approach to deal with huge amounts of numeric attributes versus small amount of available objects. Here, a novel approach of clustering along with dimensionality reduction; Hybrid Fuzzy C Means-Quick…

A group is small if it has countably many complete $n$-types over the empty set for each natural number n. More generally, a group $G$ is weakly small if it has countably many complete 1-types over every finite subset of G. We show here…

Let $\mathcal{F}$ be a family of subsets of a ground set $\{1,\ldots,n\}$ with $|\mathcal{F}|=m$, and let $\mathcal{F}^{\updownarrow}$ denote the family of all subsets of $\{1,\ldots,n\}$ that are subsets or supersets of sets in…

The theory of finitely supported algebraic structures represents a reformulation of Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory in which every construction is finitely supported according to the action of a group of permutations of some basic elements…

Postulated by Pauli to explain the electronic structure of atoms and molecules, the exclusion principle establishes an upper bound of 1 for the fermionic natural occupation numbers $\{n_i\}$. A recent analysis of the pure…

We define a general class of models representing natural selection between two alleles. The population size and spatial structure are arbitrary, but fixed. Genetics can be haploid, diploid, or otherwise; reproduction can be asexual or…

The Normalized Relative Compression (NRC) is a recent dissimilarity measure, related to the Kolmogorov Complexity. It has been successfully used in different applications, like DNA sequences, images or even ECG (electrocardiographic)…

Set systems with strongly restricted intersections, called $\alpha$-intersecting families for a vector $\alpha$, were introduced recently as a generalization of several well-studied intersecting families including the classical oddtown and…

Finding discriminant functions of minimum risk binary classification systems is a novel geometric locus problem -- which requires solving a system of fundamental locus equations of binary classification -- subject to deep-seated statistical…

Weak-strong uniqueness property in the class of finite energy weak solutions is established for two different compressible liquid crystal systems by the method of relative entropy. To overcome the difficulties caused by the molecular…

A decision list is an ordered list of rules. Each rule is specified by a term, which is a conjunction of literals, and a value. Given an input, the output of a decision list is the value corresponding to the first rule whose term is…

We determine the structure of the finite groups with the property that every cyclic subgroup is the intersection of maximal subgroups, comparing this property with the one where all proper subgroups are intersections of maximal subgroups.

Following D. Sobota we call a family $\mathcal F$ of infinite subsets of $\mathbb N$ a Rosenthal family if it can replace the family of all infinite subsets of $\mathbb N$ in classical Rosenthal's Lemma concerning sequences of measures on…

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…

Motivated by online recommendation systems, we study a family of random forests. The vertices of the forest are labeled by integers. Each non-positive integer $i\le 0$ is the root of a tree. Vertices labeled by positive integers $n \ge 1$…

Let $\mathfrak{C}$ be a class of finite combinatorial structures. The \textit{profile} of $\mathfrak{C}$ is the function $\varphi_{\mathfrak{C}}$ which counts, for every integer $n$, the number $\varphi_{\mathfrak{C}}(n)$ of members of…

We study the problem of ranking with submodular valuations. An instance of this problem consists of a ground set $[m]$, and a collection of $n$ monotone submodular set functions $f^1, \ldots, f^n$, where each $f^i: 2^{[m]} \to R_+$. An…

Extending our own and others' earlier approaches to reasoning about termination of probabilistic programs, we propose and prove a new rule for termination with probability one, also known as "almost-certain termination". The rule uses both…

The asymptotic study of the conjugacy classes of a random element of the finite affine group leads one to define a probability measure on the set of all partitions of all positive integers. Four different probabilistic understandings of…

Humans are capable of learning a new fine-grained concept with very little supervision, \emph{e.g.}, few exemplary images for a species of bird, yet our best deep learning systems need hundreds or thousands of labeled examples. In this…
