We call an $\alpha \in \mathbb{R}$ regainingly approximable if there exists a computable nondecreasing sequence $(a_n)_n$ of rational numbers converging to $\alpha$ with $\alpha - a_n < 2^{-n}$ for infinitely many $n \in \mathbb{N}$. We…
The arithmetic of natural numbers has a natural and simple encoding within sets, and the simplest set whose structure is not that of any natural number extends this set-theoretic representation to positive and negative integers. The…
In 2012, inspired by developments in group theory and complexity, Jockusch and Schupp introduced generic computability, capturing the idea that an algorithm might work correctly except for a vanishing fraction of cases. However, we observe…
To any finite ordered subset and any finite partition of a group a set of tuples of positive integers, named as configurations, is associated that describes the group's behavior. The present paper provides an exposition of this notion and…
Sumsets are central objects in additive combinatorics. In 2007, Granville asked whether one can efficiently recognize whether a given set $S$ is a sumset, i.e. whether there is a set $A$ such that $A+A=S$. Granville suggested an algorithm…
An encoder observes a point pattern---a finite number of points in the interval $[0,T]$---which is to be described to a reconstructor using bits. Based on these bits, the reconstructor wishes to select a subset of $[0,T]$ that contains all…
We present a concept of uniform encodability of theories and develop tools related to this concept. As an application we obtain general undecidability results which are uniform for large families of structures. In the way, we define…
We study countable embedding-universal and homomorphism-universal structures and unify results related to both of these notions. We show that many universal and ultrahomogeneous structures allow a concise description (called here a finite…
In the paper we present results to develop an irreducible theory of complex systems in terms of self-organization processes of prime integer relations. Based on the integers and controlled by arithmetic only the self-organization processes…
We study whether visual embedding models capture continuous, ordinal attributes along linear directions, which we term _rank axes_. We define a model as _rankable_ for an attribute if projecting embeddings onto such an axis preserves the…
Most of results of Bestvina and Mogilski [\textit{Characterizing certain incomplete infinite-dimensional absolute retracts}, Michigan Math. J. \textbf{33} (1986), 291--313] on strong $Z$-sets in ANR's and absorbing sets is generalized to…
A set $A$ is dually Dedekind finite if every surjection from $A$ onto $A$ is injective; otherwise, $A$ is dually Dedekind infinite. An amorphous set is an infinite set that cannot be partitioned into two infinite subsets. A strictly…
For each vector $x\in \ell^{\infty}$, we can define the non-empty compact set $L_x$ of accumulation points of $x$. Given an infinite subset $A$ of $\mathbb{N}\backslash\{1\}$, we can therefore investigate under which conditions on $A$, the…
We introduce and study several notions of computability-theoretic reducibility between subsets of $\omega$ that are "robust" in the sense that if only partial information is available about the oracle, then partial information can be…
A finite relational structure A is called compact if for any infinite relational structure B of the same type, the existence of a homomorphism from B to A is equivalent to the existence of homomorphisms from all finite substructures of B to…
As a variant of Zeckendorf's theorem, Chung and Graham proved that every positive integer can be uniquely decomposed into a sum of even-indexed Fibonacci numbers, whose coefficients are either $0, 1$, or $2$ so that between two coefficients…
Autoencoders learn data representations (codes) in such a way that the input is reproduced at the output of the network. However, it is not always clear what kind of properties of the input data need to be captured by the codes. Kernel…
We introduce the Insertion Chain Complex, a higher-dimensional extension of insertion graphs, as a new framework for analyzing finite sets of words. We study its topological and combinatorial properties, in particular its homology groups,…
Generalizations of linear numeration systems in which the set of natural numbers is recognizable by finite automata are obtained by describing an arbitrary infinite regular language following the lexicographic ordering. For these systems of…
In this paper we introduce the concept of completeness of sets. We study this property on the set of integers. We examine how this property is preserved as we carry out various operations compatible with sets. We also introduce the problem…
