Authored lecture exposition. Theorem14 states that the image of the first fixed point above the critical point does not belong to the transitive target; Theorem12 recalls omega-Jónsson functions.
Authored lecture notes by Jaap van Oosten, Utrecht University. Theorem0.11, printed pp.x–xii, states the adjoint lifting theorem and constructs the lifted adjoint from reflexive presentations. Theorem1.16 applies lifting to logical functors through power-object monadicity.

Arthur Gretton coauthored an exposition of Reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces with Dino Sejdinovic. Their notes explain how a positive-definite kernel determines a Hilbert space and how Mercer's theorem supplies an eigenfunction expansion under compactness assumptions. This makes it possible to represent functions through kernel evaluations or spectral coordinates.[ref]
Dino Sejdinovic coauthored notes on Reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces with Arthur Gretton. They develop the correspondence between positive-definite kernels and Hilbert spaces of functions, including Mercer's theorem. The reproducing property turns point evaluation into an inner product, connecting function-space geometry with computable kernel values.[ref]
Carlo Mantegazza coauthored a proof of compactness for special functions of bounded variation with Giovanni Alberti. The theorem combines control of gradients with control of jump discontinuities. It allows limits of suitably bounded sequences to remain in the same function class, supporting existence arguments for variational models with interfaces.[ref]
Giovanni Alberti coauthored a compactness theorem for special functions of bounded variation with Carlo Mantegazza. The result controls sequences that may contain jump discontinuities, using bounds on variation, gradients and jump sets. Such compactness is essential in calculus of variations problems where minimizing configurations can develop cracks or interfaces.[ref]
Martin Burger coauthored an exposition of regularization of an inverse problem with Martin Benning. Their treatment of inverse problems connects nonlinear penalties, prior information and stability of reconstruction. The framework distinguishes exact inversion from a controlled approximation that remains meaningful when measurements contain noise or the inverse map is discontinuous.[ref]
Martin Benning coauthored an account of modern regularization of an inverse problem for inverse problems with Martin Burger. It explains how prior information and stabilizing penalties make ill-posed inversion tractable, including nonlinear regularization for linear forward maps. Existence depends on conditions such as compactness and lower semicontinuity, not merely on writing down a minimization problem.[ref]
Yonina C. Eldar coauthored a study of Fourier phase retrieval with Tamir Bendory and Robert Beinert. It compares basic magnitude measurements with richer designs such as masks or short-time measurements. Extra measurement structure can remove ambiguities that persist in the simplest model, linking experimental design with mathematical identifiability.[ref]
Fourier Phase Retrieval: Uniqueness and Algorithms by Tamir Bendory and others. Introduction and Sections 2–3
Robert Beinert coauthored an account of Fourier phase retrieval with Tamir Bendory and Yonina C. Eldar. Their analysis separates uniqueness questions from reconstruction algorithms and records the symmetries invisible to Fourier-magnitude measurements. This clarifies why an algorithm producing a signal is insufficient unless the measurement design also makes the signal identifiable.[ref]
Fourier Phase Retrieval: Uniqueness and Algorithms by Tamir Bendory and others. Introduction and Section 3.1
Tamir Bendory coauthored a study of Fourier phase retrieval with Robert Beinert and Yonina C. Eldar. It examines reconstruction from Fourier magnitudes and distinguishes unavoidable ambiguities from genuine uniqueness failures. Global phase, translation and conjugate reflection already preserve basic magnitude data, so meaningful recovery claims must account for these symmetries.[ref]

Pinned article: Introduction to the OurBigBook Project
Welcome to the OurBigBook Project! Our goal is to create the perfect publishing platform for STEM subjects, and get university-level students to write the best free STEM tutorials ever.
Everyone is welcome to create an account and play with the site: ourbigbook.com/go/register. We belive that students themselves can write amazing tutorials, but teachers are welcome too. You can write about anything you want, it doesn't have to be STEM or even educational. Silly test content is very welcome and you won't be penalized in any way. Just keep it legal!
Intro to OurBigBook
. Source. We have two killer features:
- topics: topics group articles by different users with the same title, e.g. here is the topic for the "Fundamental Theorem of Calculus" ourbigbook.com/go/topic/fundamental-theorem-of-calculusArticles of different users are sorted by upvote within each article page. This feature is a bit like:
- a Wikipedia where each user can have their own version of each article
- a Q&A website like Stack Overflow, where multiple people can give their views on a given topic, and the best ones are sorted by upvote. Except you don't need to wait for someone to ask first, and any topic goes, no matter how narrow or broad
This feature makes it possible for readers to find better explanations of any topic created by other writers. And it allows writers to create an explanation in a place that readers might actually find it.Figure 1. Screenshot of the "Derivative" topic page.
