We perform a smoothed analysis of the GCC-condition number C(A) of the linear programming feasibility problem \exists x\in\R^{m+1} Ax < 0. Suppose that \bar{A} is any matrix with rows \bar{a_i} of euclidean norm 1 and, independently for all…
This note is a follow-up to \cite{bt}. We focus on conditions under which a normed lattice $X$ is majorizing in its norm completion. We show that \cite[Question 8.17]{bt} -- namely, whether this holds whenever every norm-null sequence in…
Let $ G_n $ and $ H_m $ be two non-degenerate linear recurrence sequences defined over a function field $ F $ in one variable over $ \mathbb{C} $, and let $ \mu $ be a valuation on $ F $. We prove that under suitable conditions there are…
We say a string has a cadence if a certain character is repeated at regular intervals, possibly with intervening occurrences of that character. We call the cadence anchored if the first interval must be the same length as the others. We…
The disjunctive restricted chase is a sound and complete procedure for solving boolean conjunctive query entailment over knowledge bases of disjunctive existential rules. Alas, this procedure does not always terminate and checking if it…
Matrix product operators allow efficient descriptions (or realizations) of states on a 1D lattice. We consider the task of learning a realization of minimal dimension from copies of an unknown state, such that the resulting operator is…
Given the congruence lattice L of a finite algebra A with a Mal'cev term, we look for those sequences of operations on L that are sequences of higher commutator operations of expansions of A. The properties of higher commutators proved so…
Following Boros--Moll, a sequence $(a_n)$ is $m$-log-concave if $\mathcal{L}^j (a_n) \geq 0$ for all $j = 0, 1, \ldots, m$. Here, $\mathcal{L}$ is the operator defined by $\mathcal{L} (a_n) = a_n^2 - a_{n - 1} a_{n + 1}$. By a criterion of…
We consider a type of random processes which satisfies the conditional increment condition and obtain an estimate for the tail probability and a Doob-type inequality of the maximum of the process. The main result is that, for processes…
We generalize the notion of Davenport constants to a `higher degree' and obtain various lower and upper bounds, which are sometimes exact as is the case for certain finite commutative rings of prime power cardinality. Two simple examples…
We study the class of rational recursive sequences (ratrec) over the rational numbers. A ratrec sequence is defined via a system of sequences using mutually recursive equations of depth 1, where the next values are computed as rational…
In this study we consider the problem of triangulated graphs. Precisely we give a necessary and sufficient condition for a graph to be triangulated. This give an alternative characterization of triangulated graphs. Our method is based on…
In many iterative optimization methods, fixed-point theory enables the analysis of the convergence rate via the contraction factor associated with the linear approximation of the fixed-point operator. While this factor characterizes the…
In this paper we show that a quasi-exactly solvable (normalizable or periodic) one-dimensional Hamiltonian satisfying very mild conditions defines a family of weakly orthogonal polynomials which obey a three-term recursion relation. In…
We investigate the complexity of the reachability problem for (deep) neural networks: does it compute valid output given some valid input? It was recently claimed that the problem is NP-complete for general neural networks and conjunctive…
An addition chain for $n$ is defined to be a sequence $(a_0,a_1,\ldots,a_r)$ such that $a_0=1$, $a_r=n$, and, for any $1\le k\le r$, there exist $0\le i, j<k$ such that $a_k = a_i + a_j$; the number $r$ is called the length of the addition…
We prove upper and lower bounds for the spectral condition number of rectangular Vandermonde matrices with nodes on the complex unit circle. The nodes are "off the grid", pairs of nodes nearly collide, and the studied condition number grows…
Labeled infinite trees provide combinatorial interpretations for many integer sequences generated by nested recurrence relations. Typically, such sequences are monotone increasing. Several of these sequences also have straightforward…
A Dirichlet-type problem is studied for an equation of even order with variable coefficients. A criterion for the uniqueness of a solution is given. The solution is built in the form of a Fourier series. When justifying the convergence of…
Let $\mathcal{A}=\{A_{1},...,A_{p}\}$ and $\mathcal{B}=\{B_{1},...,B_{q}\}$ be two families of subsets of $[n]$ such that for every $i\in [p]$ and $j\in [q]$, $|A_{i}\cap B_{j}|= \frac{c}{d}|B_{j}|$, where $\frac{c}{d}\in [0,1]$ is an…
