A combinatorial formula for affine Hall–Littlewood functions via a weighted Brion theorem
Selecta Mathematica, New Series. 2016. Vol. 22. No. 3. P. 1703–1747.
Feigin B. L., Makhlin I.
We present a new combinatorial formula for Hall–Littlewood functions associated with the affine root system of type (Formula presented.), i.e., corresponding to the affine Lie algebra (Formula presented.). Our formula has the form of a sum over the elements of a basis constructed by Feigin, Jimbo, Loktev, Miwa and Mukhin in the corresponding irreducible representation. Our formula can be viewed as a weighted sum of exponentials of integer points in a certain infinite-dimensional convex polyhedron. We derive a weighted version of Brion’s theorem and then apply it to our polyhedron to prove the formula. © 2016 Springer International Publishing

The paper proposes a system of definitions for the basic concepts of computability theory that underlie the mathematics of the digital world: algorithm, computability, calculus, object complexity, close to modern undertnding. Hierarchies of the finite and the problem of consistency are considered. ...

The definition of descriptional complexity of finite objects suggested by Kolmogorov and other authors in the mid-1960s is now well known. In addition, Kolmogorov pointed out some approaches to a more fine-grained classification of finite objects, such as the resource-bounded complexity (1965), structure function (1974), and the notion of $(\alpha,\beta)$-stochasticity (1981). Later it turned out ...

The fine approach to measure information dependence is based on the total conditional complexity CT(y|x), which is defined as the minimal length of a total program that outputs y on the input x. It is known that the total conditional complexity can be much larger than than the plain conditional complexity. Such strings x, y ...

In a lossless compression system with target lengths, a compressor 𝒞 maps an integer m and a binary string x to an m-bit code p, and if m is sufficiently large, a decompressor 𝒟 reconstructs x from p. We call a pair (m,x) achievable for (𝒞,𝒟) if this reconstruction is successful. We introduce the notion ...

Finding all linear inequalities for entropies remains an important open question in information theory. For a long time the only known inequalities for entropies of tuples of random variables were Shannon (submodularity) inequalities. Only in 1998 Zhang and Yeung 1998 found the first inequality that cannot be represented as a convex combination of Shannon inequalities, and ...

We combine Solomonoff’s approach to universal prediction with algorithmic statistics and suggest to use the computable measure that provides the best “explanation” for the observed data (in the sense of algorithmic statistics) for prediction. In this way we keep the expected sum of squares of prediction errors bounded (as it was for the Solomonoff’s predictor) ...

It is known that the normalized algorithmic information distance is not computable and not semicomputable. We show that for all 𝜀<1/2, there exist no semicomputable functions that differ from N by at most 𝜀. Moreover, for any computable function f such that |lim𝑡𝑓(𝑥,𝑦,𝑡)−N(𝑥,𝑦)|≤𝜀 and for all n, there exist strings x, y of length n such that ...

he aim of this study was to investigate the unique find from medieval Novgorod the Great—an almost complete skull of a young Eurasian beaver (Castor fiber L.). Comparisons of the craniometry of this skull with the skulls of the autochthonous and reintroduced populations of beavers from the same and adjacent regions suggest that a type of ...

The purpose of this paper is to answer two questions left open in [B. Durand, A. Shen, and N. Vereshchagin, Descriptive Complexity of Computable Sequences, Theoretical Computer Science 171 (2001), pp. 47--58]. Namely, we consider the following two complexities of an infinite computable 0-1-sequence $\alpha$: $C^{0'}(\alpha )$, defined as ...

Algorithmic statistics has two different (and almost orthogonal) motivations. From the philosophical point of view, it tries to formalize how the statistics works and why some statistical models are better than others. After this notion of a "good model" is introduced, a natural question arises: it is possible that for some piece of data there ...

Algorithmic statistics looks for models of observed data that are good in the following sense: a model is simple (i.e., has small Kolmogorov complexity) and captures all the algorithmically discoverable regularities in the data. However, this idea can not be used in practice as is because Kolmogorov complexity is not computable. In this paper we ...

In this paper we analyze the notion of "stopping time complexity", informally defined as the amount of information needed to specify when to stop while reading an infinite sequence. This notion was introduced by Vovk and Pavlovic (2016). It turns out that plain stopping time complexity of a binary string x could be equivalently defined as (a) ...

We present a new structural lemma for deterministic con- text free languages. From the first sight, it looks like a pumping lemma, because it is also based on iteration properties, but it has significant distinctions that makes it much easier to apply. The structural lemma is a combinatorial analogue of KC-DCF-Lemma (based on Kolmogorov complexity), ...

A fundamental notion in Algorithmic Statisticsis that of a stochastic object, i.e., an object having a simple plausible explanation. Informally, a probability distribution is a plausible explanation for x if it looks likely that x was drawn at random with respect to that distribution. In this paper, we suggest three definitions of a plausible statistical ...

The halting problem is undecidable --- but can it be solved for "most" inputs? This natural question was considered in a number of papers, in different settings. We revisit their results and show that most of them can be easily proven in a natural framework of optimal machines (considered in algorithmic information theory) using the ...
