Efficiency, the basic concept of multi-objective optimization is investigated for the class of pairwise comparison matrices. A weight vector is called efficient if no alternative weight vector exists such that every pairwise ratio of the…

Pairwise comparison matrices are frequently applied in multi-criteria decision making. A weight vector is called efficient if no other weight vector is at least as good in approximating the elements of the pairwise comparison matrix, and…

Weighted model counting (WMC) consists of computing the weighted sum of all satisfying assignments of a propositional formula. WMC is well-known to be #P-hard for exact solving, but admits a fully polynomial randomized approximation scheme…

We construct a smooth real-valued function P(n) in [0,1], defined via a triple integral with a periodic kernel, that approximates the characteristic function of prime numbers. The function is built to suppress when n is divisible by some m…

In the scalar setting, the power functions $|x|^{\gamma}$, for $-1 < \gamma<1$, are the canonical examples of $A_2$ weights. In this paper, we study two types of power functions in the matrix setting, with the goal of obtaining canonical…

Let $p$ be a sufficiently large prime number, $n$ be a positive odd integer with $n|\,p-1$ and $n>p^\varepsilon $, where $\varepsilon$ is a sufficiently small constant. Let $k(p,\,n)$ denote the least positive integer $k$ such that for…

For every $p\leq n$ positive integer we obtain the lower bound $(3-\frac{1}{p+1})n^2-\big(2\binom{2p}{p+1}-\binom{2p-2}{p-1}+2\big)n$ for the rank of the $n\times n$ matrix multiplication. This bound improves the previous one…

A primorial prime is a prime number of the form $p_n\# \pm 1$ where $p_n\#$ denotes the product of all primes less than or equal to $p_{n}$, the $n$-th prime. We show that the probability along the lines of Mertens' Theorem that either…
