We consider small factor analysis models with one or two factors. Fixing the number of factors, we prove a finiteness result about the covariance matrix parameter space when the size of the covariance matrix increases. According to this…

We prove upper and lower bounds for certain sums of products of fractional parts by using majoring and minorizing functions from Fourier analysis. In special cases the upper bounds are sharp if there exist counterexamples to the Littlewood…

We give a constructive proof of the factorization theorem for the classical Hardy space in terms of fractional integral operator. Moreover, the result is extended to the multilinear case and weighted case. As an application, we obtain the…

For a real number $x$, call $\frac1n \lfloor nx \rfloor$ the $n$-th lower rational approximation of $x$. We study the functions defined by taking the cumulative average of the first $n$ lower rational approximations of $x$, which we call…

We develop a category-theoretic criterion for determining the equivalence of causal models having different but homomorphic directed acyclic graphs over discrete variables. Following Jacobs et al. (2019), we define a causal model as a…

A function $\mathfrak{F}$ with simple and nice algebraic properties is defined on a subset of the space of complex sequences. Some special functions are expressible in terms of $\mathfrak{F}$, first of all the Bessel functions of first…

Parametric factorizations of linear partial operators on the plane are considered for operators of orders two, three and four. The operators are assumed to have a completely factorable symbol. It is proved that ``irreducible'' parametric…

We prove a factorization formula for the point-to-point partition function associated with a model of directed polymers on the space-time lattice $\mathbb{Z}^{d+1}$, subject to an i.i.d. random potential and in the regime of weak disorder.…

We consider algorithms for the factorization of linear partial differential operators. We introduce several new theoretical notions in order to simplify such considerations. We define an obstacle and a ring of obstacles to factorizations.…

We study processes with unstable particles in intermediate time-like states. It is shown that the amplitudes squared of such processes factor exactly in the framework of the model of unstable particles with continuous masses. Decay widths…

In this paper, we study the general problem of optimizing a convex function $F(L)$ over the set of $p \times p$ matrices, subject to rank constraints on $L$. However, existing first-order methods for solving such problems either are too…

The class of uniformly computable real functions with respect to a small subrecursive class of operators computes the elementary functions of calculus, restricted to compact subsets of their domains. The class of conditionally computable…

For a compact subset $K$ of the complex plane $\mathbb C,$ let $C(K)$ denote the algebra of continuous functions on $K$. For an open subset $U \subset K,$ let $A(K,U) \subset C(K)$ be the algebra of functions that are analytic in $U.$ We…

We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for operator-valued functions on arbitrary sets associated with a collection of test functions to have factorizations in several situations.

A novel method of asymptotic factorization of $n \times n$ matrix functions is proposed. Considered class of matrices is motivated by certain problems originated in the elasticity theory. An example is constructed to illustrate…

We introduce the notion of quantum duplicates of an (associative, unital) algebra, motivated by the problem of constructing toy-models for quantizations of certain configuration spaces in quantum mechanics. The proposed (algebraic) model…

This article is a sequel to hep-th/9411050, q-alg/9412017. In Chapter 1 we associate with every Cartan matrix of finite type and a non-zero complex number $\zeta$ an abelian artinian category $\FS$. We call its objects {\em finite…

We study a novel spline-like basis, which we name the "falling factorial basis", bearing many similarities to the classic truncated power basis. The advantage of the falling factorial basis is that it enables rapid, linear-time computations…

Matrix factorization is a key tool in data analysis; its applications include recommender systems, correlation analysis, signal processing, among others. Binary matrices are a particular case which has received significant attention for…
