Two flat sub-Lorentzian problems on the Martinet distribution are studied. For the first one, the attainable set has a nontrivial intersection with the Martinet plane, but for the second one it does not. Attainable sets, optimal…
We compare a traditional and non-traditional view on the subject of P-partitions, leading to formulas counting linear extensions of certain posets.
We review Andr\'e Luiz Barbosa's paper "P != NP Proof," in which the classes P and NP are generalized and claimed to be proven separate. We highlight inherent ambiguities in Barbosa's definitions, and show that attempts to resolve this…
Subdivision schemes are iterative methods for the design of smooth curves and surfaces. Any linear subdivision scheme can be identified by a sequence of Laurent polynomials, also called subdivision symbols, which describe the linear rules…
We introduce a new class of pseudoprimes. In this work we characterize Midy pseudoprimes, give some of their properties and established interesting connections with other known pseudoprimes, in particular we show that every divisor of a…
Schindler recently addressed two versions of the question P $\stackrel{?}{=}$ NP for Turing machines running in transfinite ordinal time. These versions differ in their definition of input length. The corresponding complexity classes are…
We investigate similarity classes of arithmetic lattices in the plane. We introduce a natural height function on the set of such similarity classes, and give asymptotic estimates on the number of all arithmetic similarity classes,…
The Boolean logic of subsets, usually presented as `propositional logic,' is considered as being "classical" while intuitionistic logic and the many sublogics and off-shoots are "non-classical." But there is another mathematical logic, the…
We study the quadratic residue problem known as an NP complete problem by way of the prime number and show that a nondeterministic polynomial process does not belong to the class P because of a random distribution of solutions for the…
We prove that if two additive functions (from a certain class) take large values with roughly the same probability then they must be identical. This is a consequence of a structure theorem making clear the inter-relation between the…
It is known that the polyomino ideal of a simple polyomino is a prime ideal. A new class of nonsimple polyominoes $\Pc$ for which the polyomino ideal $I_{\Pc}$ is a prime ideal will be presented.
Looking at some monoids and (semi)rings (natural numbers, integers and p-adic integers), and more generally, residually finite algebras (in a strong sense), we prove the equivalence of two ways for a function on such an algebra to behave…
Copositive and completely positive matrices play an increasingly important role in Applied Mathematics, namely as a key concept for approximating NP-hard optimization problems. The cone of copositive matrices of a given order and the cone…
A lattice is called well-rounded if its minimal vectors span the corresponding Euclidean space. In this paper we study the similarity classes of well-rounded sublattices of ${\mathbb Z}^2$. We relate the set of all such similarity classes…
This paper follows from two earlier works. In the first we gave an explicit construction of opetopes, the underlying cell shapes in the theory of opetopic n-categories; at the heart of this construction is the use of certain trees. In the…
We construct explicitly Pad\'e approximations of the second kind for a special class of G-functions. These are then applied to prove a Baker-type lower bound for linear forms in the p-adic values of these functions. Moreover, we consider…
The P versus NP problem is addressed in a context of provability and limitations on the possibility of finding sound axioms for formal theories. It is shown that if the term "constructible theory" is defined in a way which satisfies certain…
For a collection of subcategories satisfying a fixed set of conditions, for example thick subcategories of a triangulated category, we define a topological space called classifying space of subcategories. We show that this space classifies…
Let p be an odd prime. The lattice of all normal subgroups and the terms of the lower and upper central series are determined for all metabelian p-groups with generator rank d=2 having abelianization of type (p,p) and minimal defect of…
Matrices over the ring of formal power series are considered. Normal forms with respect to various sub-groups of the two-sided transformations are constructed. The construction is based on the special property of the action: it induces a…
