Fitting models to data is an important part of the practice of science. Advances in machine learning have made it possible to fit more -- and more complex -- models, but have also exacerbated a problem: when multiple models fit the data…
This paper considers the problem of testing whether there exists a non-negative solution to a possibly under-determined system of linear equations with known coefficients. This hypothesis testing problem arises naturally in a number of…
The fluctuations in nonequilibrium systems are under intense theoretical and experimental investigation. Topical ``fluctuation relations'' describe symmetries of the statistical properties of certain observables, in a variety of models and…
We explore phenomenological consequences of coupling a non-conformal scale-invariant theory to the standard model. We point out that, under certain circumstances, non-conformal scale-invariant theories have oscillating correlation functions…
Little effort has been devoted to studying generalised notions or models of (un)predictability, yet is an important concept throughout physics and plays a central role in quantum information theory, where key results rely on the supposed…
We strengthen non-structure theorems for almost free Abelian groups by studying long Ehrenfeucht-Fraisse games between a fixed group of cardinality lambda and a free Abelian group. A group is called epsilon-game-free if the isomorphism…
Motivated by the apparent dependence of string $\sigma$--models on the sum of spacetime metric and antisymmetric tensor fields, we reconsider gravity theories constructed from a nonsymmetric metric. We first show that all such "geometrical"…
This paper considers the effect of least squares procedures for nearly unstable linear time series with strongly dependent innovations. Under a general framework and appropriate scaling, it is shown that ordinary least squares procedures…
The general prescription for constructing the continuum limit of a field theory is introduced. We then apply the prescription to construct the O(N) non-linear sigma model and the Gross-Neveu model in three dimensions using the large N…
Seemingly unrelated regression models generalize linear regression models by considering multiple regression equations that are linked by contemporaneously correlated disturbances. Robust inference for seemingly unrelated regression models…
This study develops a framework for testing hypotheses on structural parameters in incomplete models. Such models make set-valued predictions and hence do not generally yield a unique likelihood function. The model structure, however,…
We introduce games with probabilistic uncertainty, a natural model for controller synthesis in which the controller observes the state of the system through imprecise sensors that provide correct information about the current state with a…
In this work we prove the nonlinear instability of inhomogeneous steady states solutions to the Hamiltonian Mean Field (HMF) model. We first study the linear instability of this model under a simple criterion by adapting the techniques…
We survey the role of Lie algebras in the study of unstable homotopy groups.
By applying some techniques of set-valued and variational analysis, we study solution stability of nonhomogeneous split equality problems and nonhomogeneous split feasibility problems, where the constraint sets need not be convex. Necessary…
Unstable particles are notorious in perturbative quantum field theory for producing singular propagators in scattering amplitudes that require regularization by the finite width. In this review I discuss the construction of an effective…
The stability of some spatial asymmeric games is discussed. Both linear and nonlinear asymptotic stability of asymmetric hawk-dove and prisoner's dilemma are studied. Telegraph reaction diffusion equations for the asymmetric spatial games…
We introduce differential games for FO logic of graphs, a variant of Ehrenfeucht-Fra\"{i}ss\'e games in which the game is played on only one graph and the moves of both players restricted. We prove that, in a certain sense, these games are…
The derivation of an approximate Class-I model for nonisothermal multicomponent systems of fluids, as the high-friction limit of a Class-II model is justified, by validating the Chapman-Enskog expansion performed from the Class-II model…
We consider the problem of constructing a thermodynamic theory of non-equilibrium steady states as a formal extension of the equilibrium theory. Specifically, studying a particular system, we attempt to construct a phenomenological theory…
