This article presents a general solution to the problem of computational complexity. First, it gives a historical introduction to the problem since the revival of the foundational problems of mathematics at the end of the 19th century.…
We define lifting properties for universal algebras, which we study in this general context and then particularize to various such properties in certain classes of algebras. Next we focus on residuated lattices, in which we investigate…
We state an open problem in the theory of diversities: what is the worst case minimal distortion embedding of a diversity on $n$ points in $\ell_1$. This problem is the diversity analogue of a famous problem in metric geometry: what is the…
This paper contains selected applications of the new tangential extremal principles and related results developed in Part I to calculus rules for infinite intersections of sets and optimality conditions for problems of semi-infinite…
The choice of the parameter value for regularized inverse problems is critical to the results and remains a topic of interest. This article explores a criterion for selecting a good parameter value by maximizing the probability of the data,…
A variant of the well-known Set Covering Problem is studied in this paper, where subsets of a collection have to be selected, and pairwise conflicts among subsets of items exist. The selection of each subset has a cost, and the inclusion of…
In this survey article we discuss key open problems which could serve as a guidance for further research directions of multiplicative ideal theory and factorization theory.
We survey some principal results and open problems related to colorings of algebraic and geometric objects endowed with symmetries.
The way that people make choices or exhibit preferences can be strongly affected by the set of available alternatives, often called the choice set. Furthermore, there are usually heterogeneous preferences, either at an individual level…
In the first half of this paper, we study the way that sets of real numbers closed under Turing equivalence sit inside the real line from the perspective of algebra, measure and order. Afterwards, we combine the results from our study of…
Finite obstruction sets for lower ideals in the minor order are guaranteed to exist by the Graph Minor Theorem. It has been known for several years that, in principle, obstruction sets can be mechanically computed for most natural lower…
We seek random versions of some classical theorems on complex approximation by polynomials and rational functions, as well as investigate properties of random compact sets in connection to complex approximation.
This is a non-standard paper, containing some problems, mainly in model theory, which I have, in various degrees, been interested in. Sometimes with a discussion on what I have to say; sometimes, of what makes them interesting to me,…
Classification, up to isomorphism, of algebras from a non-empty subset of the variety of $n$- dimensional algebras is presented. It is shown that these algebras have only trivial automorphism and if the basic field is algebraically closed…
This is the first of a series of papers studying real algebraic threefolds using the minimal model program. The main results are outlined in Part II. The present part I. contains the necessary preliminary work concerning terminal…
This paper considers generalizations of open mappings, closed mappings, pseudo-open mappings, and quotient mappings from topological spaces to generalized topological spaces. Characterizations of these classes of mappings are obtained and…
In this paper we collect some open set-theoretic problems that appear in the large-scale topology (called also Asymptology). In particular we ask problems about critical cardinalities of some special (large, indiscrete, inseparated) coarse…
Methods are described for the solution of linear inference problems subject to deterministic constraints. The approach builds on work by Backus (1970a,b,c) and Parker (1977), but a range useful advances are suggested to address both…
This is a structured compilation of some of my favourite open problems.
Open Information Extraction (OpenIE) facilitates domain-independent discovery of relational facts from large corpora. The technique well suits many open-world natural language understanding scenarios, such as automatic knowledge base…
