One major problem in the study of numerical semigroups is determining the growth of the semigroup tree. In the present work, infinite chains of numerical semigroups in the semigroup tree, firstly introduced in Bras-Amor\'os and Nulygin (2009), are studied. Computational results show that these chains are rare, but without them the tree would not be infinite. It is proved that for each genus $g\geq 5$ there are more semigroups of that genus not belonging to infinite chains than semigroups belonging. The reference Bras-Amor\'os and Bulygin (2009) presented a characterization of the semigroups that belong to infinite chains in terms of the coprimality of the left elements of the semigroup as well as a result on the cardinality of the set of infinite chains to which a numerical semigroup belongs in terms of the primality of the greatest common divisor of these left elements. We revisit these results and fix an imprecision on the cardinality of the set of infinite chains to which a semigroup belongs in the case when the greatest common divisor of the left elements is a prime number. We then look at infinite chains in subtrees with fixed multiplicity. When the multiplicity is a prime number there is only one infinite chain in the tree of semigroups with such multiplicity. When the multpliplicity is $4$ or $6$ we prove a self-replication behavior in the subtree and prove a formula for the number of semigroups in infinite chains of a given genus and multiplicity $4$ and $6$, respectively.

We show that the anti-ferromagnetic Potts model on trees exhibits strong spatial mixing for a near-optimal range of parameters. Our work complements recent results of Chen, Liu, Mani, and Moitra [arXiv.2304.01954] who showed this to be true in the infinite temperature setting, corresponding to uniform proper colorings. We furthermore prove weak spatial mixing results complementing results in [arXiv.2304.01954].
We present a machine learning framework capable of consistently inferring mathematical expressions of the hyperelastic energy functionals for incompressible materials from sparse experimental data and physical laws. To achieve this goal, we propose a polyconvex neural additive model (PNAM) that enables us to express the hyperelasticity model in a learnable feature space while enforcing polyconvexity. An upshot of this feature space obtained via PNAM is that (1) it is spanned by a set univariate basis that can be re-parametrized with a more complex mathematical form, and (2) the resultant elasticity model is guaranteed to fulfill the polyconvexity, which ensures that the acoustic tensor remains elliptic for any deformation. To further improve the interpretability, we use genetic programming to convert each univariate basis into a compact mathematical expression. The resultant multi-variable mathematical models obtained from this proposed framework are not only more interpretable but are also proven to fulfill physical laws. By controlling the compactness of the learned symbolic form, the machine learning-generated mathematical model also requires fewer arithmetic operations than the deep neural network counterparts during deployment. This latter attribute is crucial for scaling large-scale simulations where the constitutive responses of every integration point must be updated within each incremental time step. We compare our proposed model discovery framework against other state-of-the-art alternatives to assess the robustness and efficiency of the training algorithms and examine the trade-off between interpretability, accuracy, and precision of the learned symbolic hyperelasticity models obtained from different approaches. Our numerical results suggest that our approach extrapolates well outside the training data regime due to the precise incorporation of physics-based knowledge.
Logical modeling is a powerful tool in biology, offering a system-level understanding of the complex interactions that govern biological processes. A gap that hinders the scalability of logical models is the need to specify the update function of every vertex in the network depending on the status of its predecessors. To address this, we introduce in this paper the concept of strong regulation, where a vertex is only updated to active/inactive if all its predecessors agree in their influences; otherwise, it is set to ambiguous. We explore the interplay between active, inactive, and ambiguous influences in a network. We discuss the existence of phenotype attractors in such networks, where the status of some of the variables is fixed to active/inactive, while the others can have an arbitrary status, including ambiguous.
This paper proposes a strategy to solve the problems of the conventional s-version of finite element method (SFEM) fundamentally. Because SFEM can reasonably model an analytical domain by superimposing meshes with different spatial resolutions, it has intrinsic advantages of local high accuracy, low computation time, and simple meshing procedure. However, it has disadvantages such as accuracy of numerical integration and matrix singularity. Although several additional techniques have been proposed to mitigate these limitations, they are computationally expensive or ad-hoc, and detract from its strengths. To solve these issues, we propose a novel strategy called B-spline based SFEM. To improve the accuracy of numerical integration, we employed cubic B-spline basis functions with $C^2$-continuity across element boundaries as the global basis functions. To avoid matrix singularity, we applied different basis functions to different meshes. Specifically, we employed the Lagrange basis functions as local basis functions. The numerical results indicate that using the proposed method, numerical integration can be calculated with sufficient accuracy without any additional techniques used in conventional SFEM. Furthermore, the proposed method avoids matrix singularity and is superior to conventional methods in terms of convergence for solving linear equations. Therefore, the proposed method has the potential to reduce computation time while maintaining a comparable accuracy to conventional SFEM.
Acceleration of gradient-based optimization methods is an issue of significant practical and theoretical interest, particularly in machine learning applications. Most research has focused on optimization over Euclidean spaces, but given the need to optimize over spaces of probability measures in many machine learning problems, it is of interest to investigate accelerated gradient methods in this context too. To this end, we introduce a Hamiltonian-flow approach that is analogous to moment-based approaches in Euclidean space. We demonstrate that algorithms based on this approach can achieve convergence rates of arbitrarily high order. Numerical examples illustrate our claim.
Inspired by biology's most sophisticated computer, the brain, neural networks constitute a profound reformulation of computational principles. Remarkably, analogous high-dimensional, highly-interconnected computational architectures also arise within information-processing molecular systems inside living cells, such as signal transduction cascades and genetic regulatory networks. Might neuromorphic collective modes be found more broadly in other physical and chemical processes, even those that ostensibly play non-information-processing roles such as protein synthesis, metabolism, or structural self-assembly? Here we examine nucleation during self-assembly of multicomponent structures, showing that high-dimensional patterns of concentrations can be discriminated and classified in a manner similar to neural network computation. Specifically, we design a set of 917 DNA tiles that can self-assemble in three alternative ways such that competitive nucleation depends sensitively on the extent of co-localization of high-concentration tiles within the three structures. The system was trained in-silico to classify a set of 18 grayscale 30 x 30 pixel images into three categories. Experimentally, fluorescence and atomic force microscopy monitoring during and after a 150-hour anneal established that all trained images were correctly classified, while a test set of image variations probed the robustness of the results. While slow compared to prior biochemical neural networks, our approach is surprisingly compact, robust, and scalable. This success suggests that ubiquitous physical phenomena, such as nucleation, may hold powerful information processing capabilities when scaled up as high-dimensional multicomponent systems.
We extend classical work by Janusz Czelakowski on the closure properties of the class of matrix models of entailment relations - nowadays more commonly called multiple-conclusion logics - to the setting of non-deterministic matrices (Nmatrices), characterizing the Nmatrix models of an arbitrary logic through a generalization of the standard class operators to the non-deterministic setting. We highlight the main differences that appear in this more general setting, in particular: the possibility to obtain Nmatrix quotients using any compatible equivalence relation (not necessarily a congruence); the problem of determining when strict homomorphisms preserve the logic of a given Nmatrix; the fact that the operations of taking images and preimages cannot be swapped, which determines the exact sequence of operators that generates, from any complete semantics, the class of all Nmatrix models of a logic. Many results, on the other hand, generalize smoothly to the non-deterministic setting: we show for instance that a logic is finitely based if and only if both the class of its Nmatrix models and its complement are closed under ultraproducts. We conclude by mentioning possible developments in adapting the Abstract Algebraic Logic approach to logics induced by Nmatrices and the associated equational reasoning over non-deterministic algebras.
Certifying the positivity of trigonometric polynomials is of first importance for design problems in discrete-time signal processing. It is well known from the Riesz-Fej\'ez spectral factorization theorem that any trigonometric univariate polynomial positive on the unit circle can be decomposed as a Hermitian square with complex coefficients. Here we focus on the case of polynomials with Gaussian integer coefficients, i.e., with real and imaginary parts being integers. We design, analyze and compare, theoretically and practically,three hybrid numeric-symbolic algorithms computing weighted sums of Hermitian squares decompositions for trigonometric univariate polynomials positive on the unit circle with Gaussian coefficients. The numerical steps the first and second algorithm rely on are complex root isolation and semidefinite programming, respectively. An exact sum of Hermitian squares decomposition is obtained thanks to compensation techniques. The third algorithm, also based on complex semidefinite programming, is an adaptation of the rounding and projection algorithm by Peyrl and Parrilo. For all three algorithms, we prove bit complexity and output size estimates that are polynomial in the degree of the input and linear in the maximum bitsize of its coefficients. We compare their performance on randomly chosen benchmarks, and further design a certified finite impulse filter.
Recently, advancements in deep learning-based superpixel segmentation methods have brought about improvements in both the efficiency and the performance of segmentation. However, a significant challenge remains in generating superpixels that strictly adhere to object boundaries while conveying rich visual significance, especially when cross-surface color correlations may interfere with objects. Drawing inspiration from neural structure and visual mechanisms, we propose a biological network architecture comprising an Enhanced Screening Module (ESM) and a novel Boundary-Aware Label (BAL) for superpixel segmentation. The ESM enhances semantic information by simulating the interactive projection mechanisms of the visual cortex. Additionally, the BAL emulates the spatial frequency characteristics of visual cortical cells to facilitate the generation of superpixels with strong boundary adherence. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach through evaluations on both the BSDS500 dataset and the NYUv2 dataset.
We derive information-theoretic generalization bounds for supervised learning algorithms based on the information contained in predictions rather than in the output of the training algorithm. These bounds improve over the existing information-theoretic bounds, are applicable to a wider range of algorithms, and solve two key challenges: (a) they give meaningful results for deterministic algorithms and (b) they are significantly easier to estimate. We show experimentally that the proposed bounds closely follow the generalization gap in practical scenarios for deep learning.
