A Generalized Numeration Base is defined in this paper, and then particular cases are presented, such as Prime Base, Square Base, m-Power Base, Factorial Base, and operations in these bases. These bases are important for partitions of…
Mutually unbiased bases (MUB) are an elusive discrete structure in Hilbert spaces. Many (complete sets of) MUB are group covariant, but little is known whether they can be sharply covariant in the sense that the generating groups can have…
A linear map $\Phi$ between matrix spaces is called cross-positive if it is positive on orthogonal pairs $(U,V)$ of positive semidefinite matrices in the sense that $\langle U,V\rangle:=\text{Tr}(UV)=0$ implies $\langle…
It has been conjectured that a complete set of mutually unbiased bases in a space of dimension d exists if and only if there is an affine plane of order d. We introduce affine constellations and compare their existence properties with those…
The Weyl operators give a convenient basis of $M_n(\mathbb{C})$ which is also orthonormal with respect to the Hilbert-Schmidt inner product. The properties of such a basis can be generalised to the notion of a nice error basis(NEB), as…
We consider a symmetric matrix, the entries of which depend linearly on some parameters. The domains of the parameters are compact real intervals. We investigate the problem of checking whether for each (or some) setting of the parameters,…
We consider sets of positive integers containing no sum of two elements in the set and also no product of two elements. We show that the upper density of such a set is strictly smaller than 1/2 and that this is best possible. Further, we…
A model-free measure of coupling between dynamical variables is built from time series embedding principle. The approach described does not require a mathematical form for the dynamics to be assumed. The approach also does not require…
The concept of \emph{almost orthogonal vectors}, i.e.\ vectors whose cosine similarity is close to $0$, relates to topics both in pure mathematics and in coding theory under the guises of spherical packing and spherical codes. In recent…
Communication of quantized information is frequently followed by a computation. We consider situations of \emph{distributed functional scalar quantization}: distributed scalar quantization of (possibly correlated) sources followed by…
There are fairly large families of unitarily inequivalent complete sets of N+1 mutually unbiased bases (MUBs) in C^N for various prime powers N. The number of such sets is not bounded above by any polynomial as a function of N. While it is…
This paper is aimed at introducing an algebraic model for physical scales and units of measurement. This goal is achieved by means of the concept of ``positive space'' and its rational powers. Positive spaces are 1-dimensional ``semi-vector…
This paper proposes an efficient algorithm for testing copositivity of homogeneous polynomials over the positive semidefinite cone. The algorithm is based on a novel matrix optimization reformulation and requires solving a hierarchy of…
Nathanson constructed asymptotic bases for the integers with a prescribed representation function, then asked how dense they can be. We can easily obtain an upper bound using a simple argument. In this paper, we will see this is indeed the…
The structure of maximal faces of the cone of completely positive matrices is still not well understood in higher dimensions, mainly due to the lack of a general characterization of extreme exposed rays of the copositive cone beyond small…
We consider the problem of joint estimation of structured inverse covariance matrices. We perform the estimation using groups of measurements with different covariances of the same unknown structure. Assuming the inverse covariances to span…
This paper introduces a novel parameter free skewness coefficient for fuzzy numbers, addressing a critical gap in quantifying asymmetry under imprecision. Existing fuzzy literature substitutes membership functions for probability density…
In this paper we study a skew product map $F$ with a measure $\mu$ of positive entropy. We show that if on the fibers the map are $C^{1+\alpha}$ diffeomorphisms with nonzero Lyapunov exponents, then $F$ has ergodic measures of intermediate…
Most algorithms constructing bases of finite-dimensional vector spaces return basis vectors which, apart from orthogonality, do not show any special properties. While every basis is sufficient to define the vector space, not all bases are…
There has been great interest in finding sets of $m$ mutually unbiased bases which are compatible with a given space $\mathbb{C}^d$, specially in physics due to their interesting applications in quantum information theory. Several general…
