We study the Manneville map f(x)=x+x^z (mod 1), with z>1, from a computational point of view, studying the behaviour of the Algorithmic Information Content. In particular, we consider a family of piecewise linear maps that gives examples of…

This article reviews the life and death of a scientific theory.

Presents a history of the evolution of the author's ideas on program-size complexity and its applications to metamathematics over the course of more than four decades. Includes suggestions for further work.

Radio maps characterize quantities of interest in radio communication environments, such as the received signal strength and channel attenuation, at every point of a geographical region. Radio map estimation typically entails interpolative…

When the plane is pie-sliced in $n\leq 4$ parts (with nonempty interior and common vertex at the origin) our main result provides a sufficient condition for any map $L$, that is continuous and piecewise linear relatively to this slicing, to…

This is a light expository article. It explains a proof, due to Peter Doyle and Cecil Qiu, the following result from set theory. Let A and B be sets. Suppose there is an injective map from A x {0,...,n-1} into B x {0,...,n-1}. Then there is…

We provide new examples of integrable rational maps in four dimensions with two rational invariants, which have unexpected geometric properties, as for example orbits confined to non algebraic varieties, and fall outside classes studied by…

This article focuses on evolvement of the history of mathematics as a science and development of its methodology from the 4th century B.C. to the age of Enlightenment.

This article surveys invariants of four-manifolds and their relation to Donaldson-Witten theory, and other topologically twisted Yang-Mills theories. The article is written for the second edition of the Encyclopedia of Mathematical Physics,…

This is a survey article to appear in the "Handbook on Teichmueller Theory".

This is a personally colored account of the history behind N=4 Yang-Mills Theory.

Machine learning (ML) is the science of credit assignment. It seeks to find patterns in observations that explain and predict the consequences of events and actions. This then helps to improve future performance. Minsky's so-called…

We analyze incomplete-information games where an oracle publicly shares information with players. One oracle dominates another if, in every game, it can match the set of equilibrium outcomes induced by the latter. Distinct characterizations…

This article is not a proof of the Poincar\'{e} conjecture but a discussion of the proof, its context, and some of the people who played a prominent role. It is a personal, anecdotal account. There may be omission or transpositions as these…

The paper suggests a short survey of integration algorithms which evolved since 1982. These theorems and algorithms form discrete versions of the calculus theorems.

The regular logistic map was introduced in 1960s, served as an example of a complex system, and was used as an instrument to demonstrate and investigate the period doubling cascade of bifurcations scenario of transition to chaos. In this…

This report is an introduction to mathematical map colouring and the problems posed by Heawood in his paper of 1890. There will be a brief discussion of the Map Colour Theorem; then we will move towards investigating empire maps in the…

This is a typeset version of Alan Turing's declassified Second World War paper \textit{Paper on Statistics of Repetitions}. See the companion paper, \textit{The Applications of Probability to Cryptography}, also available from arXiv at…

We design a randomized algorithm that finds a Hamilton cycle in $\mathcal{O}(n)$ time with high probability in a random graph $G_{n,p}$ with edge probability $p\ge C \log n / n$. This closes a gap left open in a seminal paper by Angluin and…

Bauer and Itzykson showed that associated to each labeled map embedded on an oriented Riemann surface there was a group generated by a pair of permutations. From this result an algorithm may be constructed for enumerating labeled maps, and…
