Digitization not only affects society, it also requires a redefinition of the location of computer science and computer scientists, as the science journalist Yogeshwar suggests. Since all official aspects of digitalization are based on…
It is considered an interdependence of the theory of quantum computing and some perspective information technologies. A couple of illustrative and useful examples are discussed. The reversible computing from very beginning had the serious…
With the rapid development of quantum technology, one of the leading applications is the simulation of chemistry. Interestingly, even before full scale quantum computers are available, quantum computer science has exhibited a remarkable…
Probabilistic logic programming is increasingly important in artificial intelligence and related fields as a formalism to reason about uncertainty. It generalises logic programming with the possibility of annotating clauses with…
An algebraic approach to the study of quantum mechanics on configuration spaces with a finite fundamental group is presented. It uses, in an essential way, the Gelfand-Naimark and Serre-Swan equivalences and thus allows one to represent…
Let $\Theta$ be a variety of algebras. In every $\Theta$ and every algebra $H$ from $\Theta$ one can consider algebraic geometry in $\Theta$ over $H$. We consider also a special categorical invariant $K_\Theta (H)$ of this geometry. The…
Tensors are ubiquitous in statistics and data analysis. The central object that links data science to tensor theory and algebra is that of a model with latent variables. We provide an overview of tensor theory, with a particular emphasis on…
Many computer algebra systems have more than 1000 built-in functions, making expertise difficult. Using mock dialog boxes, this article describes a proposed interactive general-purpose wizard for organizing optional transformations and…
Linear algebra represents, with calculus, the two main mathematical subjects taught in science universities. However this teaching has always been difficult. In the last two decades, it became an active area for research works in…
Extensions of the $Stirling$ numbers of the second kind and $Dobinski$ -like formulas are proposed in a series of exercises for graduates. Some of these new formulas recently discovered by me are to be found in the source paper $ [1]$.…
Symmetries and reductions of some algebraic equations are considered. Transformations that preserve the form of several algebraic equations, as well as transformations that reduce the degree of these equations, are described. Illustrative…
We reminisce and discuss applications of algorithmic probability to a wide range of problems in artificial intelligence, philosophy and technological society. We propose that Solomonoff has effectively axiomatized the field of artificial…
In this short essay, we show how computer experiments, and especially visualization, allowed for the investigation and discovery of phenomena which would have passed unnoticed. We shall also highlight the importance of interactivity between…
A framework is developed to describe the Zariski topologies on the prime and primitive spectra of a quantum algebra $A$ in terms of the (known) topologies on strata of these spaces and maps between the collections of closed sets of…
We review some important algebraic structures which appear in a priori remote areas of Mathematics, such as control theory, numerical methods for solving differential equations, and renormalization in Quantum Field Theory. Starting with…
In the 1930s Tarski showed that real quantifier elimination was possible, and in 1975 Collins gave a remotely practicable method, albeit with doubly-exponential complexity, which was later shown to be inherent. We discuss some of the recent…
This talk describes how techniques developed by Computer Scientists have helped our understanding of certain problems in statistical physics which involve randomness and ``frustration''. Examples will be given from two problems that have…
Tarski's undefinability theorem states that a formal system based on conventional predicate logic (PL) cannot talk about its own truth predicate. PL is, however, not the only formal language imaginable. In this paper, it will be shown that…
There are versions of "calculus" in many settings, with various mixtures of algebra and analysis. In these informal notes we consider a few examples that suggest a lot of interesting questions.
The present work presents some results about the categorial relation between logics and its categories of structures. A (propositional, finitary) logic is a pair given by a signature and Tarskian consequence relation on its formula algebra.…
