Interior points of the completely positive cone.
A matrix A is called completely positive if it can be decomposed as A = BB^T with an entrywise nonnegative matrix B. The set of all such matrices is a convex cone. We provide a characterization of the interior of this cone as well as of its dual
Time out of mind: Subben's checklist revisited: A partial description of the development of quantitative OR papers over a period of 25 years
This short paper aims to investigate some of the historical developments of
one classic, well-cited and highly esteemed scientific journal in the domain of
quantitative operations research - namely the INFORMS journal Operations
Research - over a period of 25 years between 1981 and 2006. As such this paper,
and the journal in question, represents one representative attempt to analyze -
for the purpose of possible future generalization - how research production has
evolved, and evolves, over time. Among the general developments that we think
we can trace are that (a) the historical overviews (i.e., literature surveys)
in the articles, as well as the list of references, somewhat
counter-intuitively shrink over time, while (b) the motivating and modelling
parts grow. We also attempt to characterize - in some detail - the appearance
and character, over time, of the most cited, as well as the least cited, papers
over the years studied. In particular, we find that many of the least cited
papers are quite imbalanced. For example, some of them include one main section
only, and the least cited papers also have shorter reference lists.
We also analyse the articles' utilization of important buzz words
representing the constitutive parts of an OR journal paper, based on Subben's
checklist (Larsson and Patriksson, 2014, 2016). Based on a word count of these
buzz words we conclude through a citation study, utilizing a collection of
particularly highly or little cited papers, that there is a quite strong
positive correlation between a journal paper being highly cited and its degree
of utilization of this checklist
Perspectives for proof unwinding by programming languages techniques
In this chapter, we propose some future directions of work, potentially
beneficial to Mathematics and its foundations, based on the recent import of
methodology from the theory of programming languages into proof theory. This
scientific essay, written for the audience of proof theorists as well as the
working mathematician, is not a survey of the field, but rather a personal view
of the author who hopes that it may inspire future and fellow researchers
