Describes links between Finsler and Lorentz geometries for Riemannian geometers.

problem Understanding the relationship between Finsler and Lorentz geometries.
method Analyzes the Zermelo navigation problem and develops issues related to causality, Finsler elements, and wave propagation.
result Provides a comprehensive understanding of the Lorentzian causality using Finsler elements and the natural relation between the Lorentzian causal boundary and the Gromov and Busemann ones in the Finsler setting.

method Implicit formulas involving matrix-valued functions for describing transformations and Nijenhuis operators.
result Formulas for coordinate transformations and Nijenhuis operators in upper triangular Toeplitz form.

The jet bundle description of time-dependent mechanics is revisited. The constraint algorithm for singular Lagrangians is discussed and an exhaustive description of the constraint functions is given. By means of auxiliary connections we give a basis of constraint functions in the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian sides. An ad…

It is proved that the set of geodesic circles in two dimensions may be given a variational description and the explicit form of it is presented. In the limit case of the Euclidean geometry a certain claim of uniqueness of such description is proved. A formal notion of 'spin' force is discovered as a by-product of the v…

This paper studies fixed sets in ribbon complexes using descriptive proximity spaces.

problem Understanding fixed sets in ribbon complexes within descriptive proximity spaces.
method Introduces descriptive fixed sets and their properties in ribbon complexes, using descriptive proximally continuous maps.
result Establishes that proximal descriptive conjugacy preserves fixed sets in ribbon complexes.

Anomaly detection has numerous applications and has been studied vastly. We consider a complementary problem that has a much sparser literature: anomaly description. Interpretation of anomalies is crucial for practitioners for sense-making, troubleshooting, and planning actions. To this end, we present a new approach c…

Recommender systems relying on latent factor models often appear as black boxes to their users. Semantic descriptions for the factors might help to mitigate this problem. Achieving this automatically is, however, a non-straightforward task due to the models' statistical nature. We present an output-agreement game that …

Following on from ``Hyperbolic Plateau problems'' (by the same author), we provide a complete geometric description of solutions to the Plateau problem (S,φ)(S,φ) when SS is a compact Riemann surface with a finite number of points removed.

Several new combinatorial descriptions of closed 4-manifolds have recently been introduced in the study of smooth maps from 4-manifolds to surfaces. These descriptions consist of simple closed curves in a closed, orientable surface and these curves appear as so called vanishing sets of corresponding maps. In the presen…

New method improves bivariate causal discovery by accurately estimating cause variable complexity.

problem Improper estimation of cause variable complexity in current MDL-based methods.
method Rate-distortion MDL (RDMDL) using information dimension for cause variable complexity estimation.
result RDMDL achieves competitive performance on Tübingen dataset.

Using properties of the determinant line bundle for a family of elliptic boundary value problems, we explain how the Fock space functor defines an axiomatic quantum field theory which formally models the Fermionic path integral. The 'sewing axiom' of the theory arises as an algebraic pasting law for the determinant of …

Probabilistic programming languages represent complex data with intermingled models in a few lines of code. Efficient inference algorithms in probabilistic programming languages make possible to build unified frameworks to compute interesting probabilities of various large, real-world problems. When the structure of mo…

This note is purely expository. In the course of the Kolmogorov-Arnold solution of Hilbert's 13th problem on superpositions there appeared the notion of basic embedding. A subset K of R^2 is basic if for each continuous function f:K->R there exist continuous functions g,h:R->R such that f(x,y)=g(x)+h(y) for each point …

Collaborative filtering is used to recommend items to a user without requiring a knowledge of the item itself and tends to outperform other techniques. However, collaborative filtering suffers from the cold-start problem, which occurs when an item has not yet been rated or a user has not rated any items. Incorporating …

Many key algorithms in 3-manifold topology involve the enumeration of normal surfaces, which is based upon the double description method for finding the vertices of a convex polytope. Typically we are only interested in a small subset of these vertices, thus opening the way for substantial optimization. Here we give an…

Based on ideas of W. M. Tulczyjew, a geometric framework for a frame-independent formulation of different problems in analytical mechanics is developed. In this approach affine bundles replace vector bundles of the standard description and functions are replaced by sections of certain affine line bundles called AV-bund…

Support Vector Data Description (SVDD) is a popular outlier detection technique which constructs a flexible description of the input data. SVDD computation time is high for large training datasets which limits its use in big-data process-monitoring applications. We propose a new iterative sampling-based method for SVDD…

result Infinitely many surgeries along knots have unique descriptions, generalizing the concept of characterizing slopes.

An intrinsic description of the Hamilton-Cartan formalism for first-order Berezinian variational problems determined by a submersion of supermanifolds is given. This is achieved by studying the associated higher-order graded variational problem through the Poincaré-Cartan form. Noether theorem and examples from superfi…

method Descriptive policy that learns a system-agnostic scheduling principle.
result System-agnostic meta-learning enables adaptation to unseen system characteristics.

We address the problem of learning human-interpretable descriptions of a complex system from a finite set of positive and negative examples of its behavior. In contrast to most of the recent work in this area, which focuses on descriptions expressed in Linear Temporal Logic (LTL), we develop a learning algorithm for fo…

The Turaev cobracket, a loop operation introduced by V. Turaev, which measures self-intersection of a loop on a surface, is a modification of a path operation introduced earlier by Turaev himself, as well as a counterpart of the Goldman bracket.
