Most of the scientific literature on causal modeling considers the structural framework of Pearl and the potential-outcome framework of Rubin to be formally equivalent, and therefore interchangeably uses do-interventions and the potential-outcome subscript notation to write counterfactual outcomes. In this paper, we agnostically superimpose the two causal models to specify under which mathematical conditions structural counterfactual outcomes and potential outcomes need to, do not need to, can, or cannot be equal (almost surely or law). Our comparison reminds that a structural causal model and a Rubin causal model compatible with the same observations do not have to coincide, and highlights real-world problems where they even cannot correspond. Then, we examine common claims and practices from the causal-inference literature in the light of these results. In doing so, we aim at clarifying the relationship between the two causal frameworks, and the interpretation of their respective counterfactuals.

A new variant of the GMRES method is presented for solving linear systems with the same matrix and subsequently obtained multiple right-hand sides. The new method keeps such properties of the classical GMRES algorithm as follows. Both bases of the search space and its image are maintained orthonormal that increases the robustness of the method. Moreover there is no need to store both bases since they are effectively represented within a common basis. Along with it our method is theoretically equivalent to the GCR method extended for a case of multiple right-hand sides but is more numerically robust and requires less memory. The main result of the paper is a mechanism of adding an arbitrary direction vector to the search space that can be easily adopted for flexible GMRES or GMRES with deflated restarting.

This study presents a novel representation learning model tailored for dynamic networks, which describes the continuously evolving relationships among individuals within a population. The problem is encapsulated in the dimension reduction topic of functional data analysis. With dynamic networks represented as matrix-valued functions, our objective is to map this functional data into a set of vector-valued functions in a lower-dimensional learning space. This space, defined as a metric functional space, allows for the calculation of norms and inner products. By constructing this learning space, we address (i) attribute learning, (ii) community detection, and (iii) link prediction and recovery of individual nodes in the dynamic network. Our model also accommodates asymmetric low-dimensional representations, enabling the separate study of nodes' regulatory and receiving roles. Crucially, the learning method accounts for the time-dependency of networks, ensuring that representations are continuous over time. The functional learning space we define naturally spans the time frame of the dynamic networks, facilitating both the inference of network links at specific time points and the reconstruction of the entire network structure without direct observation. We validated our approach through simulation studies and real-world applications. In simulations, we compared our methods link prediction performance to existing approaches under various data corruption scenarios. For real-world applications, we examined a dynamic social network replicated across six ant populations, demonstrating that our low-dimensional learning space effectively captures interactions, roles of individual ants, and the social evolution of the network. Our findings align with existing knowledge of ant colony behavior.

For several types of information relations, the induced rough sets system RS does not form a lattice but only a partially ordered set. However, by studying its Dedekind-MacNeille completion DM(RS), one may reveal new important properties of rough set structures. Building upon D. Umadevi's work on describing joins and meets in DM(RS), we previously investigated pseudo-Kleene algebras defined on DM(RS) for reflexive relations. This paper delves deeper into the order-theoretic properties of DM(RS) in the context of reflexive relations. We describe the completely join-irreducible elements of DM(RS) and characterize when DM(RS) is a spatial completely distributive lattice. We show that even in the case of a non-transitive reflexive relation, DM(RS) can form a Nelson algebra, a property generally associated with quasiorders. We introduce a novel concept, the core of a relational neighborhood, and use it to provide a necessary and sufficient condition for DM(RS) to determine a Nelson algebra.

Multi-agent systems (MAS) have gained relevance in the field of artificial intelligence by offering tools for modelling complex environments where autonomous agents interact to achieve common or individual goals. In these systems, norms emerge as a fundamental component to regulate the behaviour of agents, promoting cooperation, coordination and conflict resolution. This article presents a systematic review, following the PRISMA method, on the emergence of norms in MAS, exploring the main mechanisms and factors that influence this process. Sociological, structural, emotional and cognitive aspects that facilitate the creation, propagation and reinforcement of norms are addressed. The findings highlight the crucial role of social network topology, as well as the importance of emotions and shared values in the adoption and maintenance of norms. Furthermore, opportunities are identified for future research that more explicitly integrates emotional and ethical dynamics in the design of adaptive normative systems. This work provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of research on norm emergence in MAS, serving as a basis for advancing the development of more efficient and flexible systems in artificial and real-world contexts.

Regularization is a critical technique for ensuring well-posedness in solving inverse problems with incomplete measurement data. Traditionally, the regularization term is designed based on prior knowledge of the unknown signal's characteristics, such as sparsity or smoothness. Inhomogeneous regularization, which incorporates a spatially varying exponent $p$ in the standard $\ell_p$-norm-based framework, has been used to recover signals with spatially varying features. This study introduces weighted inhomogeneous regularization, an extension of the standard approach incorporating a novel exponent design and spatially varying weights. The proposed exponent design mitigates misclassification when distinct characteristics are spatially close, while the weights address challenges in recovering regions with small-scale features that are inadequately captured by traditional $\ell_p$-norm regularization. Numerical experiments, including synthetic image reconstruction and the recovery of sea ice data from incomplete wave measurements, demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

This paper is concerned with a Bayesian approach to testing hypotheses in statistical inverse problems. Based on the posterior distribution $\Pi \left(\cdot |Y = y\right)$, we want to infer whether a feature $\langle\varphi, u^\dagger\rangle$ of the unknown quantity of interest $u^\dagger$ is positive. This can be done by the so-called maximum a posteriori test. We provide a frequentistic analysis of this test's properties such as level and power, and prove that it is a regularized test in the sense of Kretschmann et al. (2024). Furthermore we provide lower bounds for its power under classical spectral source conditions in case of Gaussian priors. Numerical simulations illustrate its superior performance both in moderately and severely ill-posed situations.

The coherent systems are basic concepts in reliability theory and survival analysis. They contain as particular cases the popular series, parallel and $k$-ou-of-$n$ systems (order statistics). Many results have been obtained for them by assuming that the component lifetimes are independent. In many practical cases, this assumption is unrealistic. In this paper we study them by assuming a Time Transformed Exponential (TTE) model for the joint distribution of the component lifetimes. This model is equivalent to the frailty model which assumes that they are conditionally independent given a common risk parameter (which represents the common environment risk). Under this model, we obtain explicit expressions for the system reliability functions and comparison results for the main stochastic orders. The system residual lifetime (under different assumptions) is studied as well.

Large-scale eigenvalue problems arise in various fields of science and engineering and demand computationally efficient solutions. In this study, we investigate the subspace approximation for parametric linear eigenvalue problems, aiming to mitigate the computational burden associated with high-fidelity systems. We provide general error estimates under non-simple eigenvalue conditions, establishing the theoretical foundations for our methodology. Numerical examples, ranging from one-dimensional to three-dimensional setups, are presented to demonstrate the efficacy of reduced basis method in handling parametric variations in boundary conditions and coefficient fields to achieve significant computational savings while maintaining high accuracy, making them promising tools for practical applications in large-scale eigenvalue computations.

Deep learning is usually described as an experiment-driven field under continuous criticizes of lacking theoretical foundations. This problem has been partially fixed by a large volume of literature which has so far not been well organized. This paper reviews and organizes the recent advances in deep learning theory. The literature is categorized in six groups: (1) complexity and capacity-based approaches for analyzing the generalizability of deep learning; (2) stochastic differential equations and their dynamic systems for modelling stochastic gradient descent and its variants, which characterize the optimization and generalization of deep learning, partially inspired by Bayesian inference; (3) the geometrical structures of the loss landscape that drives the trajectories of the dynamic systems; (4) the roles of over-parameterization of deep neural networks from both positive and negative perspectives; (5) theoretical foundations of several special structures in network architectures; and (6) the increasingly intensive concerns in ethics and security and their relationships with generalizability.
