An introduction to interval-based constraint processing. [PDF]
Constraint programming is often associated with solving problems over finite domains. Many applications in engineering, CAD and design, however, require solving problems over continuous (real-valued) domains.

Never, Ever Getting Started: On Prospect Theory Without Commitment
ABSTRACT Prospect theory is arguably the most prominent alternative to expected utility theory. We study the investment or gambling behavior of a prospect theory decision maker who is aware of his time‐inconsistency but lacks commitment. For the empirically relevant prospect theory specifications, we obtain the extreme prediction that such a decision ...

In this paper the transient bioheat transfer problem given by the one-dimensional Pennes equation with mixed boundary conditions is considered. The model assumes the heat transfer between the skin and its surroundings in the case of a natural and forced ...

Confidence Intervals for Price Discovery
ABSTRACT This paper discusses asymptotic and bootstrap confidence intervals for multivariate permanent‐transitory decompositions of cointegrated vector autoregressive I(1) systems, with a focus on price discovery. Alternative estimators of the permanent components are compared in terms of efficiency also under separable linear restrictions on the ...

A universal characterization of the closed Euclidean interval [PDF]
We propose a notion of interval object in a category with finite products, providing a universal property for closed and bounded real line segments. The universal property gives rise to an analogue of primitive recursion for defining computable functions

Room for Improvement: Why Finitist Arguments Do Not Check Out
ABSTRACT We examine several new and underexplored arguments for the finitude of the past and the impossibility of Hilbert's Hotel. The first argument concludes that Hilbert's Hotel is impossible due to an alleged contradiction arising from the causal powers of infinitely many guests.

On the additive image of zeroth persistent homology
Abstract For a category X$X$ and a finite field F$F$, we study the additive image of the functor H0(−;F)∗:rep(X,Top)→rep(X,VectF)$\operatorname{H}_0(-;F)_* \colon \operatorname{rep}(X, \mathbf {Top}) \rightarrow \operatorname{rep}(X, \mathbf {Vect}_F)$, or equivalently, of the free functor rep(X,Set)→rep(X,VectF)$\operatorname{rep}(X, \mathbf {Set ...

Design issues for accurate and reliable arithmetic.
The use of floating-point data types in high-level languages is prevalent in many of today\u27s scientific applications. However, the approximation of real numbers by finite precision floating-point numbers can produce inaccurate results due to round off

MSB-First Digit Serial Arithmetic
: We develop a formal account of digit serial number representations by describing them as strings from a language. A prefix of a string represents an interval approximating a number by enclosure.

Self‐Similar Blowup for the Cubic Schrödinger Equation
ABSTRACT We give a rigorous proof for the existence of a finite‐energy, self‐similar solution to the focusing cubic Schrödinger equation in three spatial dimensions. The proof is computer‐assisted and relies on a fixed point argument that shows the existence of a solution in the vicinity of a numerically constructed approximation.
