We pose the question of what is the best generalization of the factorial and the binomial coefficient. We give several examples, derive their combinatorial properties, and demonstrate their interrelationships. Généralisation des Coefficients du Binôme On cherche icì a déterminer est la meilleure généralisation possible des factorielles et des coefficients du binôme. On s'interessè a plusieurs e...

This paper introduces dual decomposition as aframework for deriving inference algorithmsfor NLP problems. The approach relies onstandard dynamic-programming algorithms asoracle solvers for sub-problems, together witha simple method for forcing agreement be-tween the different oracles. The approachprovably solves a linear programming (LP) re-laxation of the global...

Dedicated to Professor Andy Majda on the occasion of his 60th birthday POLE-BASED APPROXIMATION OF THE FERMI-DIRAC FUNCTION

Two approaches for the efficient rational approximation of the Fermi-Dirac function are discussed: one uses the contour integral representation and conformal mapping and the other is based on a version of the multipole representation of the Fermi-Dirac function that uses only simple poles. Both representations have logarithmic computational complexity. They are of great interest for electronic ...
