Composition and demonic refinement $\sqsubseteq$ of binary relations are defined by \begin{align*} (x, y)\in (R;S)&\iff \exists z((x, z)\in R\wedge (z, y)\in S) R\sqsubseteq S&\iff (dom(S)\subseteq dom(R) \wedge…

In this paper, we study questions of definability and decidability for infinite algebraic extensions ${\bf K}$ of $\mathbb{F}_p(t)$ and their subrings of $\mathcal{S}$-integral functions. We focus on fields ${\bf K}$ satisfying a local…

Unlike polynomials, rational functions can represent functions having poles or branch cuts with root-exponential convergence and no Runge phenomenon. Recent developments of the AAA and greedy Thiele algorithms have sparked renewed interest…

Let $f$ be a diagonal hypersurface in $A_p=\mathbb{F}_p[[x_1,\dots,x_n]]$. We study the behavior of the function $\phi_{f,p}({a}/{p^e})=p^{-ne}\dim_{\mathbb{F}_p}\big(A_p/(x_1^{p^e},\dots,x_n^{p^e},f^a)\big)$ which encodes information about…

This paper concerns algorithms that give correct answers with (asymptotic) density $1$. A dense description of a function $g : \omega \to \omega$ is a partial function $f$ on $\omega$ such that $\left\{n : f(n) = g(n)\right\}$ has density…

Recently, Ivan Mihajlin and Alexander Smal proved a composition theorem of a universal relation and some function via so called xor composition, that is there exists some function $f:\{0,1\}^n \rightarrow \{0,1\}$ such that…

We consider the group $\mathrm{Aut}(T)$ of isometries of a semi-homogeneous tree $T=T_{q_+,q_-}$ with valencies $q_+ +1$ and $q_- +1$ and its two orbits $V_+$, $V_-$ respectively. We make use of the action of $\mathrm{Aut} (T)$ to equip the…

Submodular continuous functions are a category of (generally) non-convex/non-concave functions with a wide spectrum of applications. We characterize these functions and demonstrate that they can be maximized efficiently with approximation…

Relational semigroups with domain and range are a useful tool for modelling nondeterministic programs. We prove that the representation class of domain-range semigroups with demonic composition is not finitely axiomatisable. We extend the…

Orbit-finite sets are a generalisation of finite sets, and as such support many operations allowed for finite sets, such as pairing, quotienting, or taking subsets. However, they do not support function spaces, i.e. if X and Y are…

Approximate algebraic structures play a defining role in arithmetic combinatorics and have found remarkable applications to basic questions in number theory and pseudorandomness. Here we study approximate representations of finite groups:…

We investigate a number of semantically defined fragments of Tarski's algebra of binary relations, including the function-preserving fragment. We address the question whether they are generated by a finite set of operations. We obtain…

A ring has bounded factorizations if every cancellative nonunit $a \in R$ can be written as a product of atoms and there is a bound $\lambda(a)$ on the lengths of such factorizations. The bounded factorization property is one of the most…
