Monotone and Separable Set Functions: Characterizations and Neural Models

arXiv:2510. 23634v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Motivated by applications for set containment problems, we consider the following fundamental problem: can we design set-to-vector functions so that the natural partial order on sets is preserved, namely $S\subseteq T \text{ if and only if } F(S)\leq F(T) $.

Tropical Circuits with Scalar Multiplication Gates

arXiv:2607. 11540v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We study tropical circuits with scalar multiplication gates, that is, algebraic circuits whose gates implement $\max$, $+$, or multiplication with a positive constant.

On Explicit Super-Expressive Approximation for Neural Networks

In this work, we investigate the fixed-architecture neural network approximation with explicit parameter bounds and elementary activations. While prior work demonstrated super-expressive approximation using fixed-size networks, they lack quantitative and non-asymptotic characterizations of parameter magnitude with respect to the approximation error.

Optimal Unambiguous DNFs and Alon-Saks-Seymour

We construct unambiguous DNFs having width $O(n)$ but $0$-certificate complexity $Ω(n^2)$. By utilizing the special structure of these DNFs, we prove a lifting theorem with a constant-sized gadget that lifts the DNF to a communication problem, while losslessly translating the separation in certificate complexity to a separation in communication complexity.
