This paper presents a novel method of approximating the scalar Wiener-Hopf equation; and therefore constructing an approximate solution. The advantages of this method over the existing methods are reliability and explicit error bounds.…
We define a general method for finding a quasi-best approximant in sup-norm to a target density belonging to a given model, based on independent samples drawn from distributions which average to the target (which does not necessarily belong…

Let $C$ be a nonempty closed and convex subset of a uniformly smooth and uniformly convex real Banach space $E$ with dual space $E^*$. We present a novel hybrid method for finding a common solution of a family of equilibrium problems, a…
The Renyi entropies constitute a family of information measures that generalizes the well-known Shannon entropy, inheriting many of its properties. They appear in the form of unconditional and conditional entropies, relative entropies or…
Let $p_n(y)=\sum_k\hat{\alpha}_k\phi(y-k)+\sum_{l=0}^{j_n-1}\sum_k\hat {\beta}_{lk}2^{l/2}\psi(2^ly-k)$ be the linear wavelet density estimator, where $\phi$, $\psi$ are a father and a mother wavelet (with compact support),…
Under certain plausible assumptions, M. Rubinstein and P. Sarnak solved the Shanks--R\'enyi race problem, by showing that the set of real numbers $x\geq 2$ such that $\pi(x;q,a_1)>\pi(x;q,a_2)>...>\pi(x;q,a_r)$ has a positive logarithmic…
The primary purpose of this paper is to study the Wiener-type regularity criteria for non-linear equations driven by integro-differential operators, whose model is the fractional $p-$Laplace equation. In doing so, with the help of tools…
A fast and accurate numerical method for the solution of scalar and matrix Wiener--Hopf problems is presented. The Wiener--Hopf problems are formulated as Riemann--Hilbert problems on the real line, and a numerical approach developed for…
We study orthogonal polynomials with weight $\exp[-NV(x)]$, where $V(x)=\sum_{k=1}^{d}a_{2k}x^{2k}/2k$ is a polynomial of order 2d. We derive the generalised Freud's equations for $d=3$, 4 and 5 and using this obtain $R_{\mu}=h_{\mu}/h_{\mu…
This paper is devoted to the study of uniform $W^{1,\frac{np}{n-p}}$- and $W^{2,p}$-estimates for viscosity solutions to fully nonlinear, uniformly elliptic, periodic homogenization problems, up to boundaries, subject to Dirichlet boundary…
We give a highly efficient "semi-agnostic" algorithm for learning univariate probability distributions that are well approximated by piecewise polynomial density functions. Let $p$ be an arbitrary distribution over an interval $I$ which is…
Given a compact parameter set $Y\subset R^p$, we consider polynomial optimization problems $(P_y$) on $R^n$ whose description depends on the parameter $y\inY$. We assume that one can compute all moments of some probability measure $\phi$ on…
The Renyi entropy is a generalisation of the Shannon entropy that is sensitive to the fine details of a probability distribution. We present results for the Renyi entropy of the totally asymmetric exclusion process (TASEP). We calculate…
We study the relaxation to equilibrium for a class linear one-dimensional Fokker-Planck equations characterized by a particular subcritical confinement potential. An interesting feature of this class of Fokker-Planck equations is that, for…
In this article, we consider the following fractional {Hardy-type} inequality: \begin{align} \label{Fractional Hardy_abst} \int_{\mathbb{R}^N} |w(x)||u(x)|^p \mathrm{d}x \leq C \int_{\mathbb{R}^N \times \mathbb{R}^N}…
This paper studies the complexity of estimating Renyi divergences of discrete distributions: $p$ observed from samples and the baseline distribution $q$ known \emph{a priori}. Extending the results of Acharya et al. (SODA'15) on estimating…
In this paper the Wiener--Hopf factorisation problem is presented in a unified framework with the Riemann--Hilbert factorisation. This allows to establish the exact relationship between the two types of factorisation. In particular, in the…
Density aggregation is a central problem in machine learning, for instance when combining predictions from a Deep Ensemble. The choice of aggregation remains an open question with two commonly proposed approaches being linear pooling…
The weak law of large numbers implies that, under mild assumptions on the source, the Renyi entropy per produced symbol converges (in probability) towards the Shannon entropy rate. This paper quantifies the speed of this convergence for…
