In [1], an operator was introduced which acts parallel to the Riemann-Liouville differintegral on a transformation of the space of real analytic functions and commutes with itself. This paper aims to extend the technique - and its defining…

Decomposing the domain of a function into parts has many uses in mathematics. A domain may naturally be a union of pieces, a function may be defined by cases, or different boundary conditions may hold on different regions. For any…

Adjoint logic is a general approach to combining multiple logics with different structural properties, including linear, affine, strict, and (ordinary) intuitionistic logics, where each proposition has an intrinsic mode of truth. It has…

Situations of a functional predictor paired with a scalar response are increasingly encountered in data analysis. Predictors are often appropriately modeled as square integrable smooth random functions. Imposing minimal assumptions on the…

We propose a symbolic generative task description language and a corresponding inference engine capable of representing arbitrary multimodal tasks as structured symbolic flows. Unlike conventional generative models that rely on large-scale…

In this work, we discuss the Automatic Adjoint Differentiation (AAD) for functions of the form $G=\frac{1}{2}\sum_1^m (Ey_i-C_i)^2$, which often appear in the calibration of stochastic models. { We demonstrate that it allows a perfect…

We report a method to convert discrete representations of molecules to and from a multidimensional continuous representation. This model allows us to generate new molecules for efficient exploration and optimization through open-ended…

Automatic differentiation is a tool for numerically calculating derivatives of a given function up to machine precision. This tool is useful for quantum chemistry methods, which require the calculation of gradients either for the…

The adjoint method is an efficient way to numerically compute gradients in optimization problems with constraints, but is only formulated to differentiable cost and constraint functions on real variables. With the introduction of complex…

We present a framework for the simultaneous symbolic recovery of a function and its antiderivative from data. The framework rests on three ideas. First, a derivative algebra: the observation that the product rule $\frac{d}{dx}[f \cdot g] =…

Functional decomposition is the process of breaking down a function $f$ into a composition $f=g(f_1,\dots,f_k)$ of simpler functions $f_1,\dots,f_k$ belonging to some class $\mathcal{F}$. This fundamental notion can be used to model…
