The paper begins by exploring the various definitions of norms on semigroups and then presents a new definition of a normed semigroup. The properties of normed semigroups in the new sense are investigated. The new definition of the norm is…
We study the computability of the operator norm of a matrix with respect to norms induced by linear operators. Our findings reveal that this problem can be solved exactly in polynomial time in certain situations, and we discuss how it can…
We introduce the notion of semi-characteristic polynomial for a semi-linear map of a finite- dimensional vector space over a field of characteristic p. This polynomial has some properties in common with the classical characteristic…
The aim of the paper is to give a full classification of factorizations of groups in terms of descent cohomology (pointed) sets introduced in [5]. We show that descent cohomology includes Serre's non-abelian group cohomology as a special…
In this paper we prove a few propositions concerning factorizations of morphisms in pro categories, the most important of which solves an open problem of Isaksen concerning the existence of certain types of functorial factorizations. On our…
Factorization -- a simple form of standardization -- is concerned with reduction strategies, i.e. how a result is computed. We present a new technique for proving factorization theorems for compound rewriting systems in a modular way, which…
There are many methodologies and techniques for easing the task of ontology building. Here we describe the intersection of two of these: ontology normalisation and fully programmatic ontology development. The first of these describes a…
This talk presents foundations of mathematics as a historically variable set of principles appealing to various modes of human intuition and devoid of any prescriptive/prohibitive power. At each turn of history, foundations crystallize the…
In this paper we prove a characterization of continuity for polynomials on a normed space. Namely, we prove that a polynomial is continuous if and only if it maps compact sets into compact sets. We also provide a partial answer to the…
We study functions from a unique factorization monoid to a field. The set of all such functions is a commutative ring isomorphic to a ring of formal power series over the field, with indeterminates indexed by the prime elements of the…
We consider several novel aspects of unique factorization in formal languages. We reprove the familiar fact that the set uf(L) of words having unique factorization into elements of L is regular if L is regular, and from this deduce an…
The problem of replacing an integral norm with respect to a given probability measure by the corresponding integral norm with respect to a discrete measure is discussed in the paper. The above problem is studied for elements of finite…
We examine the problem of projecting subsets of a commutative, positively ordered monoid into an $o$-ideal. We prove that to this end one may restrict to a sufficient subset, for whose cardinality we provide an explicit upper bound. Several…
Numerical functions, which characterize Dynkin schemes, Coxeter graphs and tame marked quivers, are considered.
The article explores function terms within uniform theories. It examines the uniformity of these theories through an algebraic lens. The paper compares the uniformity of terms and predicates within axiom schemas. It demonstrates the…
In this paper we introduce the notion of (pointed) prenormal category, modelled after regular categories, but with the key notions of coequaliser and kernel pair replaced by those of cokernel and kernel. This framework provides a natural…
We initiate the combinatorial study of factorization systems on finite lattices, paying special attention to the role that reflective and coreflective factorization systems play in partitioning the poset of factorization systems on a fixed…
It is known that factorisation systems in categories can be viewed as unitary pseudo algebras for the "squaring" monad in Cat. We show in this note that an analogous fact holds for proper (i.e., epi-mono) factorisation systems and a…
In many situations one encounters an entity that resembles a monoid. It consists of a carrier and two operations that resemble a unit and a multiplication, subject to three equations that resemble associativity and left and right unital…
Drawing inspiration from Emmy Noether'set-theoretic foundations for algebra and Charles Ehresmann's topology without points, we adopt a new order-theoretic approach to ideal theory. For this we emphasize the order of divisibility in…
