We develop a finite-data framework for certifying \emph{zero-defect} (neutral) configurations of positive vectors under the canonical separable reciprocal cost. We show that this scalar cost is characterized among non-constant continuous…

We develop an information-theoretic framework for discrete dynamics grounded in a comparison-cost functional on ratios. Given two quantities compared via their ratio \(x=a/b\), we assign a cost \(F(x)\) measuring deviation from equilibrium…

We study functions satisfying the composition law $F(xy)+F(x/y)=P(F(x),F(y))$ with a symmetric polynomial combiner $P$. We prove that symmetry together with a quadratic degree bound on $P$ forces a composition law of d'Alembert type. We…

On a finite outcome space, the canonical Gibbs distribution is usually obtained by maximizing Shannon entropy at fixed mean of an externally supplied energy functional. This paper studies the finite-state consequences of a ratio-cost…

The Collatz variations pattern seems not to have any recurrence relation between numbers. But knowing that there is at least a natural number that converges after several iterations we construct a function $f_{X,Y}$ that is equal to the…

We study ratio-induced mismatch costs of the form $c(s,o)=J(\iota_S(s)/\iota_O(o))$, built from positive scale maps $\iota_S:S\to(0,\infty)$ and $\iota_O:O\to(0,\infty)$ and a penalty $J:(0,\infty)\to[0,\infty)$. Assuming inversion…

Canonical Polyadic Decomposition (CPD) of a third-order tensor is a minimal decomposition into a sum of rank-$1$ tensors. We find new mild deterministic conditions for the uniqueness of individual rank-$1$ tensors in CPD and present an…

An optimal control problem with an infinite horizon quadratic cost functional for a linear system with a known additive disturbance is considered. The feature of this problem is that a weight matrix of the control cost in the cost…

In this paper we prove the existence and uniqueness of positive classical solution of the fractional Laplacian with singular nonlinearity in a smooth bounded domain with zero Drichlet boundary conditions. By the method of sub-supersolution,…

Canonical formalism of the rank-three tensor model has recently been proposed, in which "local" time is consistently incorporated by a set of first class constraints. By brute-force analysis, this paper shows that there exist only two forms…

We propose a first-order augmented Lagrangian algorithm (FALC) to solve the composite norm minimization problem min |sigma(F(X)-G)|_alpha + |C(X)- d|_beta subject to A(X)-b in Q; where sigma(X) denotes the vector of singular values of X,…

The theory of regular cost functions is a quantitative extension to the classical notion of regularity. A cost function associates to each input a non-negative integer value (or infinity), as opposed to languages which only associate to…
