We shall consider a result of Fel'dman, where a sharp Baker-type lower bound is obtained for linear forms in the values of some E-functions. Fel'dman's proof is based on an explicit construction of Pad\'e approximations of the first kind…
Consider an $s$-dimensional function being evaluated at $n$ points of a low discrepancy sequence (LDS), where the objective is to approximate the one-dimensional functions that result from integrating out $(s-1)$ variables. Here, the…
MAP is the problem of finding a most probable instantiation of a set of variables given evidence. MAP has always been perceived to be significantly harder than the related problems of computing the probability of a variable instantiation…
In some applications, one is interested in reconstructing a function $f$ from its Fourier series coefficients. The problem is that the Fourier series is slowly convergent if the function is non-periodic, or is non-smooth. In this paper, we…
Functions of one or more variables are usually approximated with a basis: a complete, linearly-independent system of functions that spans a suitable function space. The topic of this paper is the numerical approximation of functions using…
We investigate the rational approximation of fractional powers of unbounded positive operators attainable with a specific integral representation of the operator function. We provide accurate error bounds by exploiting classical results in…

Convergence of diagonal Pad\'e approximants is studied for a class of functions which admit the integral representation $ {\mathfrak F}(\lambda)=r_1(\lambda)\int_{-1}^1\frac{td\sigma(t)}{t-\lambda}+r_2(\lambda), $ where $\sigma$ is a finite…
We study multivariate problems like function approximation, numerical integration, global optimization and dispersion. We obtain new results on the information complexity $n(\varepsilon,d)$ of these problems. The information complexity is…
Bayesian probabilistic numerical methods are a set of tools providing posterior distributions on the output of numerical methods. The use of these methods is usually motivated by the fact that they can represent our uncertainty due to…
Function regression/approximation is a fundamental application of machine learning. Neural networks (NNs) can be easily trained for function regression using a sufficient number of neurons and epochs. The forward-forward learning algorithm…
The main purpose of this paper is to compare the convergence properties of Pad\'e approximants and rational Hermite-Pad\'e approximants for some model class of multivalued analytic functions based of the inverse Zhoukovsky transform. We…
We consider row sequences of simultaneous rational approximations constructed in terms of Fourier expansions and prove a Montessus de Ballore type theorem.
This paper proposes a new theory and methodology to tackle the problem of unifying distributed analyses and inferences on shared parameters from multiple sources, into a single coherent inference. This surprisingly challenging problem…
The theory of universal Taylor series can be extended to the case of Pad\'e approximants where the universal approximation is not realized by polynomials any more, but by rational functions, namely the Pad\'e approximants of some power…
This article advocates factorized and hybrid dimensional decompositions (FDD/HDD), as alternatives to analysis-of-variance dimensional decomposition (ADD), for second-moment statistical analysis of multivariate functions. New formulae…
Multivariate functions encountered in high-dimensional uncertainty quantification problems often vary most strongly along a few dominant directions in the input parameter space. We propose a gradient-based method for detecting these…
In this paper, we give one possible definition for functions of several variables applied to endomorphisms of finite dimensional C-vector spaces. This definition is consistent with the usual notion of a function of a square matrix. Some…
Approximate computing is a research area where we investigate a wide spectrum of techniques to trade off computation accuracy for better performance or energy consumption. In this work, we provide a general introduction to approximate…
The Laplace approximation has been one of the workhorses of Bayesian inference. It often delivers good approximations in practice despite the fact that it does not strictly take into account where the volume of posterior density lies.…
