We relate the property of discrete selectivity and its corresponding game, both recently introduced by V.V. Tkachuck, to a variety of selection principles and point picking games. In particular we show that player II can win the discrete…
A theoretical framework is presented for a (copula-based) notion of dissimilarity between continuous random vectors and its main properties are studied. The proposed dissimilarity assigns the smallest value to a pair of random vectors that…
We prove various results in infinite-dimensional differential calculus which relate differentiability properties of functions and associated operator-valued functions (e.g., differentials). The results are applied in two areas: 1. in the…
We show that graphs, networks and other related discrete model systems carry a natural supersymmetric structure, which, apart from its conceptual importance as to possible physical applications, allows to derive a series of spectral…
We establish a near dichotomy between randomness and structure for the point counts of arbitrary projective cubic threefolds over finite fields. Certain "special" subvarieties, not unlike those in the Manin conjectures, dominate. We also…
We consider the collection of uniformly discrete point sets in Euclidean space equipped with the vague topology. For a point set in this collection, we characterise minimality of an associated dynamical system by almost repetitivity of the…
We deal with germs of diffeomorphisms that are reversible under an involution. We establish that this condition implies that, in general, both the family of reversing symmetries and the group of symmetries are not finite, in contrast with…
We characterize ultrafilter convergence and ultrafilter compactness in linearly ordered and generalized ordered topological spaces. In such spaces, and for every ultrafilter $D$, the notions of $D$-compactness and of $D$-pseudocompactness…
Motivated by random walks on subsets of the hypercube, we prove two discrete functional inequalities on the hypercube. First, we give a short, elementary proof of the Poincar\'e inequality on increasing subsets of the cube recently…
The wide availability of biological data at the genome-scale and across multiple variables has resulted in statistical questions regarding the enrichment or depletion of the number of discrete objects (e.g. genes) identified in individual…
We study the relationship between many natural conditions that one can put on a diffeological vector space: being fine or projective, having enough smooth (or smooth linear) functionals to separate points, having a diffeology determined by…
We isolate a new class of ultrafilters on N, called "quasi-selective" because they are intermediate between selective ultrafilters and P-points. (Under the Continuum Hypothesis these three classes are distinct.) The existence of…
Restriction is a natural quasi-order on $d$-way tensors. We establish a remarkable aspect of this quasi-order in the case of tensors over a fixed finite field -- namely, that it is a well-quasi-order: it admits no infinite antichains and no…
The combination of persistent homology and discrete Morse theory has proven very effective in visualizing and analyzing big and heterogeneous data. Indeed, topology provides computable and coarse summaries of data independently from…
We introduce and study a family of cooperative exclusion processes whose microscopic dynamics is governed by selective kinetic constraints. They display, in sharp contrast to the simple symmetric exclusion process, density profiles that can…
Orderability, weak orderability and the existence of continuous weak selections on filter spaces (i.e., spaces with a single non-isolated point) and their products are discussed. We prove that a closed continuous image X of a suborderable…
We develop a continuous-time peer-effect discrete choice model where peers that affect the preferences of a given agent are randomly selected based on their previous choices. We characterize the equilibrium behavior and study the empirical…
We introduce the bounded packing property for a subgroup of a countable discrete group G. This property gives a finite upper bound on the number of left cosets of the subgroup that are pairwise close in G. We establish basic properties of…
Several papers have been written studying unexpected hypersurfaces. We say a finite set of points Z admits unexpected hypersurfaces if a general union of fat linear subspaces imposes less that the expected number of conditions on the ideal…
In this paper, we introduce and study the class of {\it enriched strictly pseudocontractive mappings} in Hilbert spaces and extend the corresponding convergence theorem (Theorem 12) in [Browder, F. E., Petryshyn, W. V., {\it Construction of…
