We establish a universal approximation theorem for signatures of rough paths that are not necessarily weakly geometric. By extending the path with time and its rough path bracket terms, we prove that linear functionals of the signature of…

The Stone-Weierstrass approximation theorem is extended to certain unbounded sets in $C^n$. In particular, on a locally rectifiable arc going to infinity, each continuous function can be approximated by entire functions.

Let $(X_1,\ldots,X_n)$ be an i.i.d. sequence of random variables in $\mathbb{R}^d$, $d\geq 1$. We show that, for any function $\varphi :\mathbb{R}^d\rightarrow\mathbb{R}$, under regularity conditions, \[n^…

Many natural notions of additive and multiplicative largeness arise from results in Ramsey theory. In this paper, we explain the relationships between these notions for subsets of $\mathbb{N}$ and in more general ring-theoretic structures.…

Given a continuous function from Euclidean space to the real line, we analyze (under some natural assumption on the function), the set of values it takes on translates of lattices. Our results are of the flavor: For almost any translate,…

We introduce a real vector space composed of set-valued maps on an open set X and note it by S. It is a complete metric space and a complete lattice. The set of continuous functions on X is dense in S as in a metric space and as in a…
