Differential logical relations are a method to measure distances between higher-order programs. They differ from standard methods based on program metrics in that differences between functional programs are themselves functions, relating…

We generalize the concept of a field by allowing addition to be a partial operation. We show that elements of such a "partially additive field" share many similarities with physical quantities. In particular, they form subsets of mutually…

In this paper, we describe the line Dirac delta function of a curve in three-dimensional space in terms of the distance function to the curve. Its extension to level set formulation and plane curves are also developed. The main ideas can be…

The classical perspective of a function is a construction which transforms a convex function into one that is jointly convex with respect to an auxiliary scaling variable. Motivated by applications in several areas of applied analysis, we…

Dimensions are an integral part of many models we use every day. Without thinking about it, we frequently use the time dimension: many financial and accounting spreadsheets have columns representing months or years. Representing a second…

The notions of distance and similarity play a key role in many machine learning approaches, and artificial intelligence (AI) in general, since they can serve as an organizing principle by which individuals classify objects, form concepts…
