The inverse of a large matrix can often be accurately approximated by a polynomial of degree significantly lower than the order of the matrix. The iteration polynomial generated by a run of the GMRES algorithm is a good candidate, and its…
This paper introduces a new term rewriting system that is similar to the embedded read-back mechanism for interaction nets presented in our previous work, but is easier to follow than in the original setting and thus to analyze its…
In this paper, a way of generalizing the tensor renormalization group(TRG) is proposed. Mathematically, the connection between patterns of tensor renormalization group and the concept of truncation sequence in polytope geometry is…
Streams are infinite sequences over a given data type. A stream specification is a set of equations intended to define a stream. We propose a transformation from such a stream specification to a term rewriting system (TRS) in such a way…
We introduce a novel approach to the automated termination analysis of computer programs: we use neural networks to represent ranking functions. Ranking functions map program states to values that are bounded from below and decrease as a…
Dependency pairs are one of the most powerful techniques to analyze termination of term rewrite systems (TRSs) automatically. We adapt the dependency pair framework to the probabilistic setting in order to prove almost-sure innermost…
A tree decomposition of a graph facilitates computations by grouping vertices into bags that are interconnected in an acyclic structure, hence their importance in a plethora of problems such as query evaluation over databases and inference…
We study the convergence of the Regularized Alternating Least-Squares algorithm for tensor decompositions. As a main result, we have shown that given the existence of critical points of the Alternating Least-Squares method, the limit points…
In a previous work, the first author extended to higher-order rewriting and dependent types the use of size annotations in types, a termination proof technique called type or size based termination and initially developed for ML-like…
Algebraic models for the reconstruction problem in X-ray computed tomography (CT) provide a flexible framework that applies to many measurement geometries. For large-scale problems we need to use iterative solvers, and we need stopping…
Trellises are crucial graphical representations of codes. While conventional trellises are well understood, the general theory of (tail-biting) trellises is still under development. Iterative decoding concretely motivates such theory. In…
We propose a new framework for the analysis of low-rank tensors which lies at the intersection of spectral graph theory and signal processing. As a first step, we present a new graph based low-rank decomposition which approximates the…
In a previous paper the authors applied the Abstract Interpretation approach for approximating the probabilistic semantics of biological systems, modeled specifically using the Chemical Ground Form calculus. The methodology is based on the…
The method of ``Total Least Squares'' is proposed as a more natural way (than ordinary least squares) to approximate the data if both the matrix and and the right-hand side are contaminated by ``errors''. In this tutorial note, we give a…
Leftist grammars [Motwani et al., STOC 2000] are special semi-Thue systems where symbols can only insert or erase to their left. We develop a theory of leftist grammars seen as word transformers as a tool toward rigorous analyses of their…
We show that left-linear generalized semi-monadic TRSs effectively preserving recognizability of finite tree languages (are EPRF-TRSs). We show that reachability, joinability, and local confluence are decidable for EPRF-TRSs.
In this paper we derive new sufficient conditions for a linear system matrix $$S(\lambda):=\left[\begin{array}{ccc} T(\lambda) & -U(\lambda) \\ V(\lambda) & W(\lambda) \end{array}\right],$$ where $T(\lambda)$ is assumed regular, to be…
A contraction sequence of a graph consists of iteratively merging two of its vertices until only one vertex remains. The recently introduced twin-width graph invariant is based on contraction sequences. More precisely, if one puts red edges…
We investigate the new, Turing-complete class of layered systems, whose lefthand sides of rules can only be overlapped at a multiset of disjoint or equal positions. Layered systems define a natural notion of rank for terms: the maximal…
We introduce proof terms for string rewrite systems and, using these, show that various notions of equivalence on reductions known from the literature can be viewed as different perspectives on the notion of causal equivalence. In…
