A circular program contains a data structure whose definition is self-referential or recursive. The use of such a definition allows efficient functional programs to be written and can avoid repeated evaluations and the creation of…

Using an elementary argument, we prove new fixed point theorems for classical elliptic complexes. We obtain new results for conformal relations and coisotropic intersections. We obtain theorems for the average intersections of families of…

Incremental computation has recently been studied using the concepts of change structures and derivatives of programs, where the derivative of a function allows updating the output of the function based on a change to its input. We…

We introduce two novel complementary notions of the Lefschetz number for a functor from a finite acyclic category to itself and we prove a Lefschetz fixed-object theorem and a Lefschetz fixed-morphism theorem. In order to do so, we use the…

We introduce "logically contractive mappings" nonexpansive self-maps that contract along a subsequence of iterates and prove a fixed-point theorem that extends Banach's principle. We obtain event-indexed convergence rates and, under bounded…

This paper establishes a formal framework, grounded in mathematical logic and order theory, to analyze the inherent limitations of radical transparency. We demonstrate that self-referential disclosure policies inevitably encounter…

The Lefschetz fixed point theorem follows easily from the identification of the Lefschetz number with the fixed point index. This identification is a consequence of the functoriality of the trace in symmetric monoidal categories. There are…

In this paper, we introduce a new contraction condition that combines the framework of Singh's extension with the classical Chatterjea contraction. This generalized form, called the Singh-Chatterjea contraction, is defined on the p-th…

This paper explores the interplay between category theory, topology, and the algebraic theory of finite groups. Our analysis unfolds in three stages. First, we establish the foundational universe of our objects: the complete and cocomplete…

Computability theory is a discipline in the intersection of computer science and mathematical logic where the fundamental question is: given two mathematical objects X and Y, does X compute Y in principle? In case X and Y are real numbers,…

We describe a type system with mixed linear and non-linear recursive types called LNL-FPC (the linear/non-linear fixpoint calculus). The type system supports linear typing, which enhances the safety properties of programs, but also supports…

We introduce a new type of mappings in metric spaces which are three-point analogue of the well-known Kannan type mappings and call them generalized Kannan type mappings. It is shown that in general case such mappings are discontinuous but…

Motivated by the recent interest in models of guarded (co-)recursion, we study their equational properties. We formulate axioms for guarded fixpoint operators generalizing the axioms of iteration theories of Bloom and \'Esik. Models of…

This paper contributes to a theory of the behaviour of "finite-state" systems that is generic in the system type. We propose that such systems are modelled as coalgebras with a finitely generated carrier for an endofunctor on a locally…

The goal of this paper is to establish a general fixed point theorem for compact single-valued continuous mapping in Hausdorff p-vector spaces, and the fixed point theorem for upper semicontinuous set-valued mappings in Hausdorff locally…

An argument is given to associate integrable nonintegrable transition of discrete maps with the transition of Lawvere's fixed point theorem to its own contrapositive. We show that the classical description of nonlinear maps is neither…

The unprecedented pace of machine learning research has lead to incredible advances, but also poses hard challenges. At present, the field lacks strong theoretical underpinnings, and many important achievements stem from ad hoc design…
