In this paper, we lay the foundations of the theory of slice regular functions in several variables ranging in any real alternative $^*$-algebra, including quaternions, octonions and Clifford algebras. This theory is an extension of the…
We focus on the problem estimating a monotone trend function under additive and dependent noise. New point-wise confidence interval estimators under both short- and long-range dependent errors are introduced and studied. These intervals are…
We show (almost) separation between certain important classes of Boolean functions. The technique that we use is to show that the total influence of functions in one class is less than the total influence of functions in the other class. In…
The Sensitivity Conjecture and the Log-rank Conjecture are among the most important and challenging problems in concrete complexity. Incidentally, the Sensitivity Conjecture is known to hold for monotone functions, and so is the Log-rank…
The piecewise-concave function may be used to approximate a wide range of other functions to arbitrary precision over a bounded set. In this short paper, this property is proven for three function classes: (a) the multivariate twice…
A clone of functions on a finite domain determines and is determined by its system of invariant relations (=predicates). When a clone is determined by a finite number of relations, we say that the clone is of finite degree. For each Minsky…
We continue the study in the setting of pluripotential theory arising from polynomials associated to a convex body $C$ in $({\bf R}^+)^d$. Here we discuss $C-$Robin functions and their applications. In the particular case where $C$ is a…
We establish that any finite extension of function fields of genus greater than 1 whose relative class group is trivial is Galois and cyclic. This depends on a result from a preceding paper which establishes a finite list of possible Weil…
In this paper we prove that given any two point lattices $\Lambda_1 \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ and $ \Lambda_2 \subset \nobreak \mathbb{R}^{n-k}$, there is a set of $k$ vectors $\bm{v}_i \in \Lambda_1$ such that $\Lambda_2$ is, up to similarity,…
We study some harmonic properties of slice regular functions in one and several Clifford variables and give explicit formulas of the iterated Laplacian applied to slice regular functions and to their spherical derivative, which are new also…
In this paper we obtain several extensions to the quaternionic setting of some results concerning the approximation by polynomials of functions continuous on a compact set and holomorphic in its interior. The results include approximation…
Assuming the existence of certain large cardinal numbers, we prove that for every projective filter $\mathscr F$ over the set of natural numbers, $\mathscr{F}$-bases in Banach spaces have continuous coordinate functionals. In particular,…
The article is devoted to the investigation of smoothness of functions $f(x_1,...,x_m)$ of variables $x_1,...,x_m$ in infinite fields with non-trivial multiplicative ultra-norms, where $m\ge 2$. Theorems about classes of smoothness $C^n$ or…
We consider the problem of interpolating functions partially defined over a distributive lattice, by means of lattice polynomial functions. Goodstein's theorem solves a particular instance of this interpolation problem on a distributive…
Green showed that there exist constants $C_1,C_2>0$ such that the clique number $\omega$ of the random Cayley graph on $\mathbb{F}_2^n$ satisfies $\lim_{n\to\infty}\mathbb{P}(C_1n\log n < \omega < C_2n\log n)=1$. In this paper we find the…
Dualization of a monotone Boolean function on a finite lattice can be represented by transforming the set of its minimal 1 to the set of its maximal 0 values. In this paper we consider finite lattices given by ordered sets of their meet and…
We will describe solvable lattice models whose partition functions depend on two sets of variables, $x_1,\cdots,x_n$ and $y_1, y_2, \cdots $ that have different connections with the representation theory of $\text{GL}(n,F)$ where $F$ is a…
In many classification tasks there is a requirement of monotonicity. Concretely, if all else remains constant, increasing (resp. decreasing) the value of one or more features must not decrease (resp. increase) the value of the prediction.…
$\mathit{C}$-clones are polymorphism sets of so-called clausal relations, a special type of relations on a finite domain, which first appeared in connection with constraint satisfaction problems in [Creignou et al. 2008]. We completely…
In this note, the polar decomposition of binary fields of even extension degree is used to reduce the evaluation of the Walsh transform of binomial Boolean functions to that of Gauss sums. In the case of extensions of degree four times an…
