Representing Piecewise-Linear Functions by Functions with Minimal Arity

arXiv:2406. 02421v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Any continuous piecewise-linear function $F\colon \mathbb{R}^{n}\to \mathbb{R}$ can be represented as a linear combination of $\max$ functions of at most $n+1$ affine-linear functions.

Decomposition Polyhedra of Piecewise Linear Functions

arXiv:2410. 04907v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: In this paper we contribute to the frequently studied question of how to decompose a continuous piecewise linear (CPWL) function into a difference of two convex CPWL functions.

A simplex-based measure of symmetry

arXiv:2607. 03815v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: For compact convex sets $L,K \subset \mathbb{R}^n$, denote by $\lambda_K(L)$ the smallest size of a homothet of $K$ that contains $L$.

Improved Upper Bounds for Slicing the Hypercube

arXiv:2602. 16807v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: A collection of hyperplanes $\mathcal{H}$ slices all edges of the $n$-dimensional hypercube $Q_n$ with vertex set $\{-1,1\}^n$ if, for every edge $e$ in the hypercube, there exists a hyperplane in $\mathcal{H}$ intersecting $e$ in its interior.
