Maximum Variance Unfolding is one of the main methods for (nonlinear) dimensionality reduction. We study its large sample limit, providing specific rates of convergence under standard assumptions. We find that it is consistent when the…
The universal behaviour of the directed percolation universality class is well understood, both the critical scaling as well as finite size scaling. This article focuses on the block (finite size) scaling of the order parameter and its…

Scaling transformations involving a small parameter ({\em degenerate scalings}) are frequently used for ordinary differential equations that model (bio-) chemical reaction networks. They are motivated by quasi-steady state (QSS) of certain…
