In this paper we prove two results. The first theorem uses a paper of Kim \cite{K} to show that for fixed primes $p_1,...,p_k$, and for fixed integers $m_1,...,m_k$, with $p_i\not|m_i$, the numbers $(e_{p_1}(n),...,e_{p_k}(n))$ are…
We consider a large class of matrix problems, which includes the problem of classifying arbitrary systems of linear mappings. For every matrix problem from this class, we construct Belitskii's algorithm for reducing a matrix to a canonical…
Let E_n={x_i=1, x_i+x_j=x_k, x_i \cdot x_j=x_k: i,j,k \in {1,...,n}}. If Matiyasevich's conjecture on single-fold Diophantine representations is true, then for every computable function f:N->N there is a positive integer m(f) such that for…
Canonicalization provides an architecture-agnostic method for enforcing equivariance, with generalizations such as frame-averaging recently gaining prominence as a lightweight and flexible alternative to equivariant architectures. Recent…
Boyer and Moore have discussed a recursive function that puts conditional expressions into normal form [1]. It is difficult to prove that this function terminates on all inputs. Three termination proofs are compared: (1) using a measure…
A family of regularization functionals is said to admit a linear representer theorem if every member of the family admits minimizers that lie in a fixed finite dimensional subspace. A recent characterization states that a general class of…
Let E_n={x_i=1, x_i+x_j=x_k, x_i \cdot x_j=x_k: i,j,k \in {1,...,n}}. If Matiyasevich's conjecture on finite-fold Diophantine representations is true, then for every computable function f:N->N there is a positive integer m(f) such that for…
The equivalence group is determined for systems of linear ordinary differential equations in both the standard form and the normal form. It is then shown that the normal form of linear systems reducible by an invertible point transformation…
A practical version of the polynomial canonical formalism is developed for normal mesoscopic systems consisting of N independent electrons. Drastic simplification of calculations is attained by means of proper ordering excited states of the…
Using a generalization of forward elimination, it is proved that functions $f_1,...,f_n:X\to\mathbb{A}$, where $\mathbb{A}$ is a field, are linearly independent if and only if there exists a nonsingular matrix $[f_i(x_j)]$ of size $n$,…
We study the best approximation problem: \[ \displaystyle \min_{\alpha\in \mathbb R^m}\max_{1\leq i\leq n}\left|y_i -\sum_{j=1}^m \alpha_j \Gamma_j ({\bf x}_i) \right|. \] Here: $\Gamma:=\left\{\Gamma_1,...,\Gamma_m\right\}$ is a list of…
Let $\Omega(n)$ denote the number of prime factors of $n$. We show that for any bounded $f\colon\mathbb{N}\to\mathbb{C}$ one has \[ \frac{1}{N}\sum_{n=1}^N\, f(\Omega(n)+1)=\frac{1}{N}\sum_{n=1}^N\, f(\Omega(n))+\mathrm{o}_{N\to\infty}(1).…
Recent work of C. Fefferman and the first author has demonstrated that the linear system of equations \begin{equation*} \sum_{j=1}^M A_{ij}(x)F_j(x)=f_i(x)\hspace{.2in} (i=1,...,N), \end{equation*} has a $C^m$ solution $F=(F_1,...,F_M)$ if…
The Erd\H{o}s-Rado canonization theorem generalizes Ramsey's theorem to edge-colorings with an unbounded number of colors, in the sense that for $n = ER(m)$ sufficiently large, any edge-coloring of $E(K_n) \to \mathbb{N}$ will yield some…
The classes stable, simple and NSOP$_1$ in the stability hierarchy for first-order theories can be characterised by the existence of a certain independence relation. For each of them there is a canonicity theorem: there can be at most one…
In this paper, we introduce and develop the method of diagonalization of functions $f:\mathbb{N}\longrightarrow \mathbb{R}$. We apply this method to show that the equations of the form $\Gamma_r(n)+k=m^2$ has a finite number of solutions…
Given a graded sequence of ideals (a_m) on a smooth variety $X$ having finite log canonical threshold, suppose that for every m we have a divisor E_m over X that computes the log canonical threshold of a_m, and such that the log…
Simon's problem asks the following: determine if a function $f: \{0,1\}^n \rightarrow \{0,1\}^n$ is one-to-one or if there exists a unique $s \in \{0,1\}^n$ such that $f(x) = f(x \oplus s)$ for all $x \in \{0,1\}^n$, given the promise that…
We argue that reducing nonlinear programming problems to a simple canonical form is an effective way to analyze them, specially when the problem is degenerate and the usual linear independence hypothesis does not hold. To illustrate this…
Canonical quantization has taught us great things. A common example is that of the harmonic oscillator, which is like swinging a ball on a string back and forth. However, the half-harmonic oscillator blocks the ball at the bottom and then…
