A quantitative model of concurrent interaction is introduced. The basic objects are linear combinations of partial order relations, acted upon by a group of permutations that represents potential non-determinism in synchronisation. This…
This thesis is intended to provide an account of the theory and applications of Operational Methods that allow the "translation" of the theory of special functions and polynomials into a "different" mathematical language. The language we…
We consider the scenario in which a set of sources generate messages in a network and a receiver node demands an arbitrary linear function of these messages. We formulate an algebraic test to determine whether an arbitrary network can…
Multi-model databases are designed to store, manage, and query data in various models, such as relational, hierarchical, and graph data, simultaneously. In this paper, we provide a theoretical basis for querying categorical databases. We…
In 2005, Abramsky introduced various linear/affine combinatory algebras of partial involutions over a suitable formal language, to discuss reversible computation in a game-theoretic setting. These algebras arise as instances of the general…
We address the problem of complementing higher-order patterns without repetitions of existential variables. Differently from the first-order case, the complement of a pattern cannot, in general, be described by a pattern, or even by a…
Multi-model databases are designed to store, manage, and query data in various models, such as relational, hierarchical, and graph data, simultaneously. In this paper, we provide a theoretical basis for querying categorical databases. We…
Most recent approaches to bilingual dictionary induction find a linear alignment between the word vector spaces of two languages. We show that projecting the two languages onto a third, latent space, rather than directly onto each other,…
One perspective on quantum algorithms is that they are classical algorithms having access to a special kind of memory with exotic properties. This perspective suggests that, even in the case of quantum algorithms, the control flow notions…
In this paper, we study linear forms \[\lambda = \beta_1\mathrm{e}^{\alpha_1}+\cdots+\beta_m\mathrm{e}^{\alpha_m},\] where $\alpha_i$ and $\beta_i$ are algebraic numbers. An explicit lower bound for the absolute value of $\lambda$ is…
We unify Linear Algebra by proposing a definition of determinants via one equation that implies all known properties of them:\\ 1. Cramer's Rule,\\ 2. Cofactor expansion,\\ 3. Antisymmetry of determinants,\\ 4. Linearity of determinants,\\…
On the one hand the algebras of linear operators here act on finite-dimensional vector spaces, and on the other hand the point of view is generally an analysts'. Also, one might think of algebras as being used to add more data to basic…
We compute the minimal cardinality of a covering (resp. an irredundant covering) of a vector space over an arbitrary field by proper linear subspaces. Analogues for affine linear subspaces are also given.
This paper introduces a formal metalanguage called the lambda-q calculus for the specification of quantum programming languages. This metalanguage is an extension of the lambda calculus, which provides a formal setting for the specification…
We consider the call-by-value lambda-calculus extended with a may-convergent non-deterministic choice and a must-convergent parallel composition. Inspired by recent works on the relational semantics of linear logic and non-idempotent…
We explore the possibility of extending Mardare et al. quantitative algebras to the structures which naturally emerge from Combinatory Logic and the lambda-calculus. First of all, we show that the framework is indeed applicable to those…
This paper introduces context algebras and demonstrates their application to combining logical and vector-based representations of meaning. Other approaches to this problem attempt to reproduce aspects of logical semantics within new…
In a recent paper, a realizability technique has been used to give a semantics of a quantum lambda calculus. Such a technique gives rise to an infinite number of valid typing rules, without giving preference to any subset of those. In this…
We propose a categorial grammar based on classical multiplicative linear logic. This can be seen as an extension of abstract categorial grammars (ACG) and is at least as expressive. However, constituents of {\it linear logic grammars (LLG)}…
We investigate the relationship between finite terms in {\lambda}-letrec, the {\lambda}-calculus with letrec, and the infinite {\lambda}-terms they express. We say that a lambda-letrec term expresses a lambda-term if the latter can be…
