As one of the most important types of (weaker) supervised information in machine learning and pattern recognition, pairwise constraint, which specifies whether a pair of data points occur together, has recently received significant…
The concept of a covering system was first introduced by Erd\H{o}s in 1950. Since their introduction, a lot of the research regarding covering systems has focused on the existence of covering systems with certain restrictions on the moduli.…
Dodgson's method of computing determinants was recently revisited in a paper that appeared in the College Math Journal. The method is attractive, but fails if an interior entry of an intermediate matrix has the value zero. This paper…
This paper intends to survey the vast literature devoted to a problem posed by Wilf in 1978 which, despite the attention it attracted, remains unsolved. As it frequently happens with combinatorial problems, many researchers who got involved…
Since Hooley's seminal 1967 resolution of Artin's primitive root conjecture under the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis, numerous variations of the conjecture have been considered. We present a framework generalizing and unifying many…
The relation between the girth and the error correction capability of column-weight-three LDPC codes is investigated. Specifically, it is shown that the Gallager A algorithm can correct $g/2-1$ errors in $g/2$ iterations on a Tanner graph…
This note corrects some serious errors in the first-order perturbation analysis of singular vectors as published by G.W. Stewart in his book "Matrix Algorithms Volume II: Eigensystems", SIAM, 2001.
Machine learning models support decision-making, yet the reasons behind their predictions are opaque. Clear and reliable explanations help users make informed decisions and avoid blindly trusting model outputs. However, many existing…
Kids have an amazing capacity to use modern electronic devices such as tablets, smartphones, etc. This has been incredibly boosted by the ease of access of these devices given the expansion of such devices through the world, reaching even…
The theory of bias-variance used to serve as a guide for model selection when applying Machine Learning algorithms. However, modern practice has shown success with over-parameterized models that were expected to overfit but did not. This…
We propose a new finite sample corrected variance estimator for the linear generalized method of moments (GMM) including the one-step, two-step, and iterated estimators. Our formula additionally corrects for the over-identification bias in…
We describe various errors in the mathematical literature, and consider how some of them might have been avoided, or at least detected at an earlier stage, using tools such as Maple or Sage. Our examples are drawn from three broad…
This paper is an overview and survey of work on the 3x+1 problem, also called the Collatz problem, and generalizations of it. It gives a history of the problem. It addresses two questions: (1) What can mathematics currently say about this…
The unprecedented demand for large amount of data has catalyzed the trend of combining human insights with machine learning techniques, which facilitate the use of crowdsourcing to enlist label information both effectively and efficiently.…
We provide a correction to the sufficient conditions under which closed-form expressions for the optimal Lagrange multiplier are provided in arXiv:2112.13138 [math.OC]. We first present a simple counterexample where the original conditions…
To our knowledge, there are two main references [9], [12] regarding the periodical solutions of multi-time Euler-Lagrange systems, even if the multi-time equations appeared in 1935, being introduced by de Donder. That is why, the central…
An analysis is made of Deutsch's recent claim to have derived the Born rule from decision-theoretic assumptions. It is argued that Deutsch's proof must be understood in the explicit context of the Everett interpretation, and that in this…
When using a finite difference method to solve an initial--boundary--value problem, the truncation error is often of lower order at a few grid points near boundaries than in the interior. Normal mode analysis is a powerful tool to analyze…
We prove an optimal strategy for the children's game Guess Who? assuming the official rules are in use and that both players ask `classical' questions with a bipartite response. Applying a technique described in [Rabern, B \& Rabern, L…
We provide a generalization of the Phragm\'en-Lindel\"of principal of Rademacher with the aim of correcting, or at least provide a pathway to correcting, several errors appearing in the literature.
