Sum-product networks (SPNs) are a class of probabilistic graphical models that allow tractable marginal inference. However, the maximum a posteriori (MAP) inference in SPNs is NP-hard. We investigate MAP inference in SPNs from both…

Following P. Fenton, we investigate sum of translates functions $F(\mathbf{x},t):=J(t)+\sum_{j=1}^n \nu_j K(t-x_j)$, where $J:[0,1]\to {\underline{\mathbb{R}}}:=\mathbb{R}\cup\{-\infty\}$ is a "sufficiently non-degenerate" and upper-bounded…

Given an $n*n$ sparse symmetric matrix with $m$ nonzero entries, performing Gaussian elimination may turn some zeroes into nonzero values. To maintain the matrix sparse, we would like to minimize the number $k$ of these changes, hence…

We consider the semi-infinite optimization problem: $f^*:=\min_{x\in X}\:\{f(x): g(x,y)\,\leq \,0,\:\forally\in Y_x\}$, where $f,g$ are polynomials and $X\subset R^n$ as well as $Y_\x\subset R^p$, $x\in X$, are compact basic semi-algebraic…

This paper studies the extreme singular values of non-harmonic Fourier matrices. Such a matrix of size $m\times s$ can be written as $\Phi=[ e^{-2\pi i j x_k}]_{j=0,1,\dots,m-1, k=1,2,\dots,s}$ for some set $\mathcal{X}=\{x_k\}_{k=1}^s$.…

Let K be a p-adic field, R the valuation ring of K, and P the maximal ideal of R. Let $Y subseteq R^{2}$ be a non-singular closed curve, and Y_{m} its image in R/P^{m} times R/P^{m}, i.e. the reduction modulo P^{m} of Y. We denote by Psi an…

There is a matrix model corresponding to a scalar field theory called Grosse-Wulkenhaar model, which is renormalizable by adding a harmonic oscillator potential to scalar $\Phi^{4}$ theory on Moyal spaces. There are more unknowns in…

Let $M$ be a random matrix chosen according to Haar measure from the unitary group $\mathrm{U}(n,\mathbb{C})$. Diaconis and Shahshahani proved that the traces of $M,M^2,\ldots,M^k$ converge in distribution to independent normal variables as…

Given $d_1,\ldots,d_k$ in the field $F$, there is a weighted trace function $F^k\rightarrow F$ given by $tr(x_1,\ldots,x_k)=\sum d_ix_i$. We prove that $F^k$ satisfies trace identities of the forms $\alpha(d_1,\ldots,d_k) x^N=$ a linear…

We give an integrability criterion on a real-valued non-increasing function $\psi$ guaranteeing that for almost all (or almost no) pairs $(A, \textbf{b})$, where $A$ is a real $m\times n$ matrix and $\textbf{b} \in \mathbb{R}^m$, the system…

A random matrix model with a sigma-model like constraint, the restricted trace ensemble (RTE), is solved in the large-n limit. In the macroscopic limit the smooth connected two-point resolvent G(z,w) is found to be non-universal, extending…

Two results concerning the number of threshold functions $P(2, n)$ and the probability ${\mathbb P}_n$ that a random $n\times n$ Bernoulli matrix is singular are established. We introduce a supermodular function $\eta^{\bigstar}_n : 2^{{\bf…

A Helson matrix (also known as a multiplicative Hankel matrix) is an infinite matrix with entries $\{a(jk)\}$ for $j,k\geq1$. Here the $(j,k)$'th term depends on the product $jk$. We study a self-adjoint Helson matrix for a particular…

Computation of the trace of a matrix function plays an important role in many scientific computing applications, including applications in machine learning, computational physics (e.g., lattice quantum chromodynamics), network analysis and…

For positive integers $1 \leq k \leq n$ let $M_n$ be the algebra of all $n \times n$ complex matrices and $M_n^{\le k}$ its subset consisting of all matrices of rank at most $k$. We first show that whenever $k>\frac{n}{2}$, any continuous…
