The main result of this paper is a proof of the continuity of a family of integral functionals defined on the space of functions of bounded variation with respect to a topology under which smooth functions are dense. These functionals occur…

We discuss avoidance of sure loss and coherence results for semicopulas and standardized functions, i.e., for grounded, 1-increasing functions with value $1$ at $(1,1,\ldots, 1)$. We characterize the existence of a $k$-increasing…

We improve Izumi's inequality, which states that any divisorial valuation v centered at a closed point 0 on an algebraic variety Y is controlled by the order of vanishing at 0. More precisely, as v ranges through valuations that are…

In arithmetic statistics and analytic number theory, the asymptotic growth rate of counting functions giving the number of objects with order below $X$ is studied as $X\to \infty$. We define general counting functions which count…

On the space of rhythms of arbitrary length with a fixed number of onsets, a self map $F$ is constructed. It is shown that for any rhythm $\mathbf{r}$ of the space there exists a nonnegative integer $k$ such that $F^k(\mathbf{r})$ falls…

Let A be an arbitrary countable set of reals, for example A=Q. Let g be an arbitrary mapping from A into the positive reals, for example g(a)=2^a. We show how a strictly increasing real function f can be constructed such that f'(x)=g(x) for…

Let $\mathcal{F}=\{A_1,A_2,\ldots,A_k\}$ be a collection of finite arithmetic progressions, where each $A_d$ is an initial segment of the set $D_d=\{d,2d,3d,\ldots\}$ of consecutive multiples of a positive integer $d$. Let $m(\mathcal{F})$…

An integral representation result for strictly positive subharmonic functions of a one-dimensional regular diffusion is established. More precisely, any such function can be written as a linear combination of an increasing and a decreasing…

It is widely believed that complex machine learning models generally encode features through linear representations. This is the foundational hypothesis behind a vast body of work on interpretability. A key challenge toward extracting…

For every natural number $n$ we introduce a new weak choice principle $\mathrm{nRC_{fin}}$: Given any infinite set $x$, there is an infinite subset $y\subseteq x$ and a selection function $f$ that chooses an $n$-element subset from every…

Szemeredi's regularity lemma can be viewed as a rough structure theorem for arbitrary dense graphs, decomposing such graphs into a structured piece (a partition into cells with edge densities), a small error (corresponding to irregular…

An Engel series is a sum of reciprocals of a non-decreasing sequence $(x_n)$ of positive integers, which is such that each term is divisible by the previous one, and a Pierce series is an alternating sum of the reciprocals of a sequence…

We consider infinite iterated function systems $\{f_i\}_{i=1}^{\infty}$ on $[0,1]$ with a polynomially increasing contraction rate. We look at subsets of such systems where we only allow iterates $f_{i_1}\circ f_{i_2}\circ f_{i_3}\circ...$…

Given $\alpha_1,...,\alpha_m \in (0,1)$, we characterize all integrable functions $f:[0,1]^m \to \mathbb{C}$ satisfying $\int_{A_1 \times ...\times A_m} f =0$ for any collection of disjoint sets $A_1,...,A_m \subseteq [0,1]$ of respective…

Let U and V be two Bertrand numeration systems, and, a and b the two Parry numbers there are naturally associated with. Suppose they are multiplicatively independent. We prove that, if E is a subset of positive integers which is both U and…

Sidorov and Vershik showed that in base $G=\frac{\sqrt{5}+1}{2}$ and with the digits $0,1$ the numbers $x=nG ~(\text {mod} 1)$ have $\aleph_{0}$ expansions for any $n\in\mathbb{Z}$, while the other elements of $(0, \frac{1}{G-1})$ have…

We show that if $v\in A_\infty$ and $u\in A_1$, then there is a constant $c$ depending on the $A_1$ constant of $u$ and the $A_{\infty}$ constant of $v$ such that $$\Big\|\frac{ T(fv)} {v}\Big\|_{L^{1,\infty}(uv)}\le c\, \|f\|_{L^1(uv)},$$…

For a fixed integer $m\ge 1$, let $\mathcal{A}_n^{(m)}$ be the set of permutations $\pi\in S_n$ that avoid the pattern $132$ and satisfy the adjacency bound $|\pi_{i+1}-\pi_i|\le m$ for all $i$. Here, a pattern $132$ means three indices…

For a nice holomorphic function $f(s, z)$ in two variables, a respective holomorphic Gamma function $\Gamma = \Gamma_f$ is constructed, such that $f(s, \Gamma(s)) = \Gamma(s + 1)$. Along the way, we fall through a rabbit hole of infinite…
