Recent years have witnessed the introduction and development of extremely fast rational function algorithms. Many ideas in this realm arose from polynomial-based linear-algebraic algorithms. However, polynomial approximation is occasionally…

As data volume grows extensively, data profiling helps to extract metadata of large-scale data. However, one kind of metadata, order statistics, is difficult to be computed because they are not mergeable or incremental. Thus, the limitation…

The Turing machine is one of the simple abstract computational devices that can be used to investigate the limits of computability. In this paper, they are considered from several points of view that emphasize the importance and the…

Given a sequence $(M^n)^{\infty}_{n=1}$ of nonnegative martingales starting at $M^n_0=1$, we find a sequence of convex combinations $(\widetilde{M}^n)^{\infty}_{n=1}$ and a limiting process $X$ such that…

We study generalizations of Demuth's Theorem, which states that the image of a Martin-L\"of random real under a tt-reduction is either computable or Turing equivalent to a Martin-L\"of random real. We show that Demuth's Theorem holds for…

In the first part of this paper we give an elementary proof of the fact that if an infinite matrix $A$, which is invertible as a bounded operator on $\ell^2$, can be uniformly approximated by banded matrices then so can the inverse of $A$.…

We consider functions mapping non-negative integers to non-negative real numbers such that a and a+n are mapped to values at least 1/n apart. In this paper we use a novel method to construct such a function. We conjecture that the supremum…

A resource-bounded version of the statement "no algorithm recognizes all non-halting Turing machines" is equivalent to an infinitely often (i.o.) superpolynomial speedup for the time required to accept any coNP-complete language and also…

We obtain results concerning the so-called factorization for the convergence of random variables almost everywhere (almost surely or with probability one), belonging to the classical Lebesgue-Riesz spaces and we extend these results to the…

Statistical inverse learning aims at recovering an unknown function $f$ from randomly scattered and possibly noisy point evaluations of another function $g$, connected to $f$ via an ill-posed mathematical model. In this paper we blend…

We propose new approximate alternating projection methods, based on randomized sketching, for the low-rank nonnegative matrix approximation problem: find a low-rank approximation of a nonnegative matrix that is nonnegative, but whose…

In this vision paper, we explore the challenges and opportunities of a form of computation that employs an empirical (rather than a formal) approach, where the solution of a computational problem is returned as empirically most likely…

For a positive integer n, let f(n) denote the smallest non-negative integer b such that for each system S \subseteq {x_k=1,x_i+x_j=x_k,x_i*x_j=x_k: i,j,k \in {1,...,n}} with a solution in non-negative integers x_1,...,x_n, there exists a…

Deterministic one-way time-bounded multi-counter automata are studied with respect to their ability to perform reversible computations, which means that the automata are also backward deterministic and, thus, are able to uniquely step the…

In the theory of algorithmic randomness, one of the central notions is that of computable randomness. An infinite binary sequence X is computably random if no recursive martingale (strategy) can win an infinite amount of money by betting on…
