The Theory of Functional Connections (TFC) is most often used for constraints over the field of real numbers. However, previous works have shown that it actually extends to arbitrary fields. The evidence for these claims is restricting…
Extending It\^o's formula to non-smooth functions is important both in theory and applications. One of the fairly general extensions of the formula, known as Meyer-It\^o, applies to one dimensional semimartingales and convex functions.…
We prove a generalisation of Fernique's theorem which applies to a class of (measurable) functionals on abstract Wiener spaces by using the isoperimetric inequality. Our motivation comes from rough path theory where one deals with iterated…
Fractional calculus is the calculus of differentiation and integration of non-integer orders. In a recently paper (Annals of Physics 323 (2008) 2756-2778), the Fundamental Theorem of Fractional Calculus is highlighted. Based on this…
We establish a direct connection between the Feynman-Vernon path integral formalism for open quantum systems and the Wiener path integral used in classical stochastic dynamics. By considering a generalized influence functional in the strong…
The work is devoted to the construction of a new type of intervals -- functional intervals. These intervals are built on the idea of expanding boundaries from numbers to functions. Functional intervals have shown themselves to be promising…
We present a functional formalism to derive a generating functional for correlation functions of a multiplicative stochastic process represented by a Langevin equation. We deduce a path integral over a set of fermionic and bosonic variables…
This paper presents a general study of one-dimensional differentiability for functionals defined on convex domains that are not necessarily open. The local approximation is carried out using affine functionals, as opposed to linear…
We prove that Tietze Extension does not always exist in constructive mathematics if closed sets on which the function we are extending are defined as sequentially closed sets. Firstly, we take a discrete metric space as our topological…
A set of differential operators acting by continuous deformations on path dependent functionals of open and closed curves is introduced. Geometrically, these path operators are interpreted as infinitesimal generators of curves in the base…
A space of entire functions of several complex variables rapidly decreasing on ${\mathbb R}^n$ and such that their growth along $i{\mathbb R}^n$ is majorized with a help of a family of weight functions (not radial in general) is considered…
We consider additive functionals as a time and space-dependent function of a diffusion corresponding to nonhomogeneous uniformly elliptic divergence form operator. We show that if the function belongs to natural domain of strong solutions…
Extended real-valued functions are often used in optimization theory, but in different ways for infimum problems and for supremum problems. We present an approach to extended real-valued functions that works for all types of problems and…
We propose a method for the calculation of vacuum expectation values (VEVs) given a non-trivial, long-distance vacuum wave functional (VWF) of the kind that arises, for example, in variational calculations. The VEV is written in terms of a…
We introduce and study the Steiner entire function, an analytic generating function for the intrinsic volumes of a convex compact set in a Hilbert space. This function extends the classical Steiner polynomial to infinite dimensions and…
This paper focuses on the equivalent expression of fractional integrals/derivatives with an infinite series. A universal framework for fractional Taylor series is developed by expanding an analytic function at the initial instant or the…
With view to applications, we establish a correspondence between two problems: (i) the problem of finding continuous positive definite extensions of functions $F$ which are defined on open bounded domains $\Omega$ in $\mathbb{R}$, on the…
Martin's Conjecture states that every definable function on the Turing degrees is either constant or increasing, and that every increasing function is an iterate of the Turing jump. This classification has already been corroborated for the…
According to the math tea argument, there must be real numbers that we cannot describe or define, because there are uncountably many real numbers, but only countably many definitions. And yet, the existence of pointwise-definable models of…
We study two classes of extension problems, and their interconnections: (i) Extension of positive definite (p.d.) continuous functions defined on subsets in locally compact groups $G$; (ii) In case of Lie groups, representations of the…
