Abstract

Consider a zero-dimensional ideal $I$ in $\mathbb{K}[X_1,\dots,X_n]$. Inspired by Faug\`ere and Mou's Sparse FGLM algorithm, we use Krylov sequences based on multiplication matrices of $I$ in order to compute a description of its zero set by means of univariate polynomials. Steel recently showed how to use Coppersmith's block-Wiedemann algorithm in this context; he describes an algorithm that can be easily parallelized, but only computes parts of the output in this manner. Using generating series expressions going back to work of Bostan, Salvy, and Schost, we show how to compute the entire output for a small overhead, without making any assumption on the ideal $I$ other than it having dimension zero. We then propose a refinement of this idea that partially avoids the introduction of a generic linear form. We comment on experimental results obtained by an implementation based on the C++ libraries Eigen, LinBox and NTL.

Diversity of EML-type operators

The discovery of the EML operator, sufficient to evaluate the standard explicit purely transcendental elementary functions, has led to considerable interest and discussion across multiple scientific disciplines. However, most authors have focused on the binary EML itself, while numerous similar variants with slightly different properties are now known. This article attempts to close this gap by enumerating and classifying them. We also take this opportunity to clarify common misconceptions related to the EML operator. The principal goal, symbolic regression within an architecture as close as possible to proven neural networks which combine matrix multiplication with a single univariate non-linear activation function, remains beyond reach. Instead, we propose a M\"obius layer, with rational functions replacing matrix operations, and showcase the recently discovered activation function eml(x,1/x), which allows exp(x) and ln(x) to be recovered separately, and hence all elementary functions to be evaluated within a rational generalization of the neural network.

Physical Law Ecology: mapping multi-mechanism ecologies as the zeroth step of data-driven scientific discovery

Every data-driven equation discovery method assumes (implicitly and without verification) that the target system obeys a single governing law ($K{=}1$). Here we show that this assumption is the primary bottleneck limiting scientific discovery in multi-mechanism systems, and introduce Physical Law Ecology, a framework that makes $K^*$ (the number of coexisting independent mechanisms) itself the first quantity to be determined from data. The framework automatically mines a pool of topologically distinct candidate equations, constructs a continuous dominance weight field across parameter space, and discovers analytic evolution laws governing mechanism succession---with optional monotonicity constraints encoding irreversible physics. Across four unrelated systems (elastomer mechanics, pool boiling, galactic dynamics, and droplet evaporation), BIC consistently identifies $K^*{=}3$ independent governing topologies. Applied to 163 SPARC galaxies (3,269 spatially resolved measurements), the framework autonomously recovers three gravitational laws whose coexistence provides evidence against the single-universal-acceleration hypothesis of MOND ($p<10^{-34}$). In engineering applications, multi-law weighted prediction reduces error by 67-72\% over single-equation baselines while retaining full interpretability. By establishing the determination of $K^*$ as the zeroth step of scientific discovery-prior to and independent of equation search---this work opens a direction orthogonal to existing symbolic regression: not finding better equations, but mapping the ecology of mechanisms that govern complex systems.
