Combining the Berends-Giele and on-shell recursion relations we obtain an extremely compact expression for the scattering amplitude of a complex scalar-antiscalar pair and an arbitrary number of positive helicity gluons. This is one of the…
This paper proposes a standard way to represent sparse tensors. A broad theoretical framework for tensor data scattering methods used in various deep learning frameworks is established. This paper presents a theorem that is very important…
