Many index calculus algorithms generate multiplicative relations between smoothness basis elements by using a process called Sieving. This process allows to filter potential candidate relations very quickly, without spending too much time to consider bad candidates. However, from an asymptotic point of view, there is not much difference between sieving and straightforward testing of candidates....

We investigate the question of what constitutes a proof when quantifiers and multiplicative units are both present. On the technical level this paper provides two new aspects of the proof theory of MLL2 with units. First, we give a novel proof system in the framework of the calculus of structures. The main feature of the new system is the consequent use of deep inference, which allows us to obs...

We introduce discrete fractional sum equations and inequalities. We obtain the equivalence of an initial value problem for a discrete fractional equation and a discrete fractional sum equation. Then we give an explicit solution to the linear discrete fractional sum equation. This allows us to state and prove an analogue of Gronwall's inequality on discrete fractional calculus. We employ a nabla...

This article develops, and describes how to use, results concerning disintegrations of Poisson random measures. These results are fashioned as simple tools that can be tailor-made to address inferential questions arising in a wide range of Bayesian nonparametric and spatial statistical models. The Poisson disintegration method is based on the formal statement of two results concerning a Laplace...

Each Multiplicative Exponential Linear Logic (MELL) proof-net can be expanded into a differential net, which is its Taylor expansion. We prove that two different MELL proof-nets have two different Taylor expansions. As a corollary, we prove a completeness result for MELL: We show that the relational model is injective for MELL proof-nets, i.e. the equality between MELL proof-nets in the relatio...
