When predictive models are used to support complex and important decisions, the ability to explain a model's reasoning can increase trust, expose hidden biases, and reduce vulnerability to adversarial attacks. However, attempts at…

This paper is devoted to the study of a newly introduced tool, projectional coderivatives and the corresponding calculus rules in finite dimensions. We show that when the restricted set has some nice properties, more specifically, is a…

Methods are described for the solution of linear inference problems subject to deterministic constraints. The approach builds on work by Backus (1970a,b,c) and Parker (1977), but a range useful advances are suggested to address both…

In this article we study Diophantine approximation and local distribution of a rational point on a toric surface obtained as a blow-up of $\mathbb{P}^1\times\mathbb{P}^1$. It turns out that outside a Zariski closed subset the best…

We consider linear partial differential equations on resistance spaces that are uniformly elliptic and parabolic in the sense of quadratic forms and involve abstract gradient and divergence terms. Our main interest is to provide graph and…

In this work we consider (hierarchical, Lagrange) reduced basis approximation and a posteriori error estimation for elasticity problems in affinley parametrized geometries. The essential ingredients of the methodology are: a Galerkin…

Knowing the symmetries of a polyhedron can be very useful for the analysis of its structure as well as for practical polyhedral computations. In this note, we study symmetry groups preserving the linear, projective and combinatorial…

A precision matrix is the inverse of a covariance matrix. In this paper, we study the problem of estimating the precision matrix with a known graphical structure under high-dimensional settings. We propose a simple estimator of the…

In this note we study linear systems on complete toric varieties $X$ with an invariant point, whose orbit under the action of the automorphism group of $X$ contains the dense torus $T$ of $X$. We give a characterization of such varieties in…

In this paper, we consider the estimation and inference of precision matrices of a rich class of locally stationary and nonlinear time series assuming that only one realization of the time series is observed. Using a Cholesky decomposition…

We construct the first examples of families of bad Riemannian orbifolds which are isospectral with respect to the Laplacian but not isometric. In our case these are particular fixed weighted projective spaces equipped with isospectral…

In this note, we concentrate on the backward error of the equality constrained indefinite least squares problem. For the normwise backward error of the equality constrained indefinite least square problem, we adopt the linearization method…

Congruences, or $2$-parameter families of lines in $3$-space are of interest in many situations, in particular in geometric optics. In this paper we consider elements of their geometry which are invariant under affine changes of…

In this note, we prove that the problem of computing the linear discrepancy of a given matrix is $\Pi_2$-hard, even to approximate within $9/8 - \epsilon$ factor for any $\epsilon > 0$. This strengthens the NP-hardness result of Li and…

Polyhedral projection is a main operation of the polyhedron abstract domain.It can be computed via parametric linear programming (PLP), which is more efficient than the classic Fourier-Motzkin elimination method.In prior work, PLP was done…

We study the theoretical and practical aspects of computing braids described by approximate descriptions of paths in the plane. Exact algorithms rely on the lexicographic ordering of the points in the plane, which is unstable under…

A metrized complex of algebraic curves is a finite metric graph together with a collection of marked complete nonsingular algebraic curves, one for each vertex, the marked points being in bijection with incident edges. We establish a…

We investigate the observability of a general class of linear dispersive equations on the torus $\mathbb{T}$. We take one line segment or two line segments in space-time region as the observable set. We give the characteristic on the slopes…

In this paper it is shown that the compact linearization approach, that has been previously proposed only for binary quadratic problems with assignment constraints, can be generalized to arbitrary linear equations with positive coefficients…
