We study distributed algorithms for some fundamental problems in data summarization. Given a communication graph $G$ of $n$ nodes each of which may hold a value initially, we focus on computing $\sum_{i=1}^N g(f_i)$, where $f_i$ is the…

Given a computable sequence of natural numbers, it is a natural task to find a G\"odel number of a program that generates this sequence. It is easy to see that this problem is neither continuous nor computable. In algorithmic learning…

B-terms are built from the B combinator alone defined by B f g x = f (g x), which is well-known as a function composition operator. This paper investigates an interesting property of B-terms, that is, whether repetitive right applications…

When spatial constraint for the constituents (e.g., atom or particle) of system is once given, disordered structure for non-interacting system in equilibrium states is symmetric with respect to equiatomic composition. Meanwhile, when the…

Let us assume that $f$ is a continuous function defined on the unit ball of $\mathbb R^d$, of the form $f(x) = g (A x)$, where $A$ is a $k \times d$ matrix and $g$ is a function of $k$ variables for $k \ll d$. We are given a budget $m \in…

We show that a strong form (the fully faithful version) of the generating hypothesis, introduced by Freyd in algebraic topology, holds in the derived category of a ring R if and only if R is von Neumann regular. This extends results of the…
