Many structured systems admit locally consistent descriptions that nevertheless fail to globalize when constrained by an ambient reference or feasibility condition. Diagnosing such failures is naturally an evaluative problem: given a fixed…
Current continuous generative models (e.g., Diffusion Models, Flow Matching) implicitly assume that locally consistent causal mechanisms naturally yield globally coherent counterfactuals. In this paper, we prove that this assumption fails…
The aim of this paper is to propose a novel framework to infer the sheaf Laplacian, including the topology of a graph and the restriction maps, from a set of data observed over the nodes of a graph. The proposed method is based on sheaf…
We initiate the study of nonsmooth optimization problems under bounded local subgradient variation, which postulates bounded difference between (sub)gradients in small local regions around points, in either average or maximum sense. The…

Typical adversarial-training-based unsupervised domain adaptation methods are vulnerable when the source and target datasets are highly-complex or exhibit a large discrepancy between their data distributions. Recently, several…
The subgradient method is one of the most fundamental algorithmic schemes for nonsmooth optimization. The existing complexity and convergence results for this method are mainly derived for Lipschitz continuous objective functions. In this…
Modern multimodal systems deployed in industrial and safety-critical environments must remain reliable under partial sensor failures, signal degradation, or cross-modal inconsistencies. This work introduces a mathematically grounded…

We introduce prox-convex for minimizing $F(x)=g(x)+h(C(x))+s(R(x))$, where $g$ and $h$ are convex, $C$ and $s$ are smooth, and each component of $R$ is convex (possibly nonsmooth). Here $g$ captures general convex objectives and indicator…
Contrastive loss has been increasingly used in learning representations from multiple modalities. In the limit, the nature of the contrastive loss encourages modalities to exactly match each other in the latent space. Yet it remains an open…
We develop a new approach to the conformal geometry of embedded hypersurfaces by treating them as conformal infinities of conformally compact manifolds. This involves the Loewner--Nirenberg-type problem of finding on the interior a metric…
The present paper is focused on the computation of the Lipschitz upper semicontinuity modulus of the feasible set mapping in the context of fully perturbed linear inequality systems; i.e., where all coefficients are allowed to be perturbed.…
Conventional multimodal alignment methods assume mutual redundancy across all modalities, an assumption that fails in real-world distributed scenarios. We propose SheafAlign, a sheaf-theoretic framework for decentralized multimodal…

We identify and analyze a fundamental limitation of the classical projected subgradient method in nonsmooth convex optimization: the inevitable failure caused by the absence of valid subgradients at boundary points. We show that, under…
