Motivation:
Let's define a function computable on a $k$-ary tree as a function composed with simpler computable functions defined at each node such that a function of this kind defined on a binary tree of depth $N$ receives $2^{N-1}$ inputs:
While thinking about the expressiveness of functio...
The following families of polytopes have received a lot of attention:
permutahedra,
associahedra,
cyclohedra,
...
My question is simple: Why?
As I understand, at least the latter two were initially constructed by their face lattice representing certain combinatorial objects (e.g. ways to...0
In probability theory, the term subexponential distribution has historically been used for a distribution whose CDF $F(x)$ satisfies the relation
$$
n(1-F(x)) \sim 1 - F^{*n}(x)
$$ for any $n \ge 1$ as $x \to \pm \infty$ (depending on the context), where $F^{*n}(x)$ is the CDF of the $n$-fold add...
