We introduce a new form of logical relation which, in the spirit of metric relations, allows us to assign each pair of programs a quantity measuring their distance, rather than a boolean value standing for their being equivalent. The…
We initiate the rigorous study of classification in semimetric spaces, which are point sets with a distance function that is non-negative and symmetric, but need not satisfy the triangle inequality. For metric spaces, the doubling dimension…
One considers geometry with the intransitive equaivalence relation. Such a geometry is a physical geometry, i.e. it is described completely by the world function, which is a half of the squared distance function. The physical geometry…
We extend the definitions of complexity measures of functions to domains such as the symmetric group. The complexity measures we consider include degree, approximate degree, decision tree complexity, sensitivity, block sensitivity, and a…
A generalized view of Duality is offered as a bridge between physical sciences and the more abstract philosophical dimensions bordering on mysticism. To that end several examples of duality are first cited from from conventional physics…
Let $G \subsetneq \mathbb{R}^n$ be a domain and let $d_1$ and $d_2$ be two metrics on $G$. We compare the geometries defined by the two metrics to each other for several pairs of metrics. The metrics we study include the distance ratio…
Certain notions of convergence of sequences functions such as pointwise convergence and (uniform) convergence on compact or bounded sets come from suitable topological function spaces; see [1]. Under certain conditions these topologies…
Microscopic symmetries impose strong constraints on the elasticity of a crystalline solid. In addition to the usual spatial symmetries captured by the tensorial character of the elastic tensor, hidden non-spatial symmetries can occur…
We discuss some aspects of the relation between dualities and gauge symmetries. Both of these ideas are of course multi-faceted, and we confine ourselves to making two points. Both points are about dualities in string theory, and both have…
The article is devoted to approximate, global and along curves differentiability of functions over non-archimedean infinite fields with non-trivial valuations. Fields with zero and non-zero characteristics are considered. Spaces of…
A conformal metric $g$ with constant curvature one and finite conical singularities on a compact Riemann surface $\Sigma$ can be thought of as the pullback of the standard metric on the 2-sphere by a multi-valued locally univalent…
We investigate some properties of balayage, or, sweeping (out), of measures with respect to subclasses of subharmonic functions. The following issues are considered: relationships between balayage of measures with respect to classes of…
Measuring inter-dataset similarity is an important task in machine learning and data mining with various use cases and applications. Existing methods for measuring inter-dataset similarity are computationally expensive, limited, or…
In the paper we continue the research of Bors\'{i}k and Dobo\v{s} on functions which allow us to introduce a metric to the product of metric spaces. In this paper we extend their scope on broader class of spaces which usually fail to…
Distances are pervasive in machine learning. They serve as similarity measures, loss functions, and learning targets; it is said that a good distance measure solves a task. When defining distances, the triangle inequality has proven to be a…
We introduce five and higher dimensional $\gamma$-metrics. The higher dimensional metrics are exact solutions of the vacuum field equations and represent new types of singularities. For dimensions $d>5$ we have obtained $\gamma$-metrics in…
The main goals of this paper are: i) To develop an abstract differential calculus on metric measure spaces by investigating the duality relations between differentials and gradients of Sobolev functions. This will be achieved without…
Exact conditions have long been used to guide the construction of density functional approximations. But hundreds of empirical-based approximations tailored for chemistry are in use, many of which neglect these conditions in their design.…
We consider universal approximations of symmetric and anti-symmetric functions, which are important for applications in quantum physics, as well as other scientific and engineering computations. We give constructive approximations with…
Uniformity and proximity are two different ways for defining small scale structures on a set. Coarse structures are large scale counterparts of uniform structures. In this paper, motivated by the definition of proximity, we develop the…
