The representation problem of finite-dimensional Markov matrices in Markov semigroups is revisited, with emphasis on concrete criteria for matrix subclasses of theoretical or practical relevance, such as equal-input, circulant, symmetric or…

In this paper we formulate a conjecture which is a strengthening of an extension theorem of Bakonyi and Timotin for positive definite functions on the free group on two generators. We prove that this conjecture implies Connes' embedding…

Let L_n be the n-dimensional Lorentz cone. A linear map M from R^m to R^n is called Lorentz-positive if M[L_m] is contained in L_n. We extend the notion of concurrence, which was initially introduced to quantify the entanglement of…

We construct operators which factorize the transfer function associated with a non-self-adjoint 2x2 operator matrix whose diagonal entries can have overlapping spectra and whose off-diagonal entries are unbounded operators.

We present an alternative proof of asymptotic freeness of independent sample covariance matrices, when the dimension and the sample size grow at the same rate, by embedding these matrices into Wigner matrices of a larger order and using…

Distribution networks with periodically repeating events often hold great promise to exploit economies of scale. Joint replenishment problems are a fundamental model in inventory management, manufacturing, and logistics that capture these…

We present some extensions of Bernstein's concentration inequality for random matrices. This inequality has become a useful and powerful tool for many problems in statistics, signal processing and theoretical computer science. The main…

We study Cartan subalgebras in the context of amalgamated free product II$_1$ factors and obtain several uniqueness and non-existence results. We prove that if $\Gamma$ belongs to a large class of amalgamated free product groups (which…

We define nonselfadjoint operator algebras with generators $L_{e_1},..., L_{e_n}, L_{f_1},...,L_{f_m}$ subject to the unitary commutation relations of the form \[ L_{e_i}L_{f_j} = \sum_{k,l} u_{i,j,k,l} L_{f_l}L_{e_k}\] where $u=…

Type III_1 factors arising as (direct summands of) von Neumann algebraic free products are investigated. In particular we compute Connes' Sd- and tau- invariants for those type III_1 factors without any extra assumption.

We consider a linearization problem for Nijenhuis operators in dimension two around a point of scalar type in analytic category. The problem was almost completely solved in arXiv:1903.06411. One case, however, namely the case of…

We introduce notation Q(1) * ... * Q(n) * L(F_r)$ for von Neumann algebra II_1 factors where $r$ is allowed to be negative. This notation is defined by rescalings of free products of II_1 factors, and is proved to be consistent with known…

The regression problem associated with finding a matrix approximation of the Koopman operator from data is considered. The regression problem is formulated as a convex optimization problem subject to linear matrix inequality (LMI)…

We introduce meta-factorization, a theory that describes matrix decompositions as solutions of linear matrix equations: the projector and the reconstruction equation. Meta-factorization reconstructs known factorizations, reveals their…

An approximation method is presented for probabilistic inference with continuous random variables. These problems can arise in many practical problems, in particular where there are "second order" probabilities. The approximation, based on…

Most numerical methods for conic problems use the homogenous primal-dual embedding, which yields a primal-dual solution or a certificate establishing primal or dual infeasibility. Following Patrinos (and others, 2018), we express the…

We use inverted finite elements method for approximating solutions of second order elliptic equations with non-constant coefficients varying to infinity in the exterior of a 2D bounded obstacle, when a Neumann boundary condition is…

We consider computational complexity of problems related to the fundamental group and the first homology group of (embeddable) $2$-complexes. We show, as an extension of an earlier work, that computing first homology of $2$-complexes is…

Renormalization is cast in the form of a Lie algebra of infinite triangular matrices. By exponentiation, these matrices generate counterterms for Feynman diagrams with subdivergences. As representations of an insertion operator, the…

Parametric models in vector spaces are shown to possess an associated linear map. This linear operator leads directly to reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces and affine- / linear- representations in terms of tensor products. From the…
