Chance constraints are a valuable tool for the design of safe decisions in uncertain environments; they are used to model satisfaction of a constraint with a target probability. However, because of possible non-convexity and non-smoothness,…
In this paper we introduce a generalization of classical risk measures in which the risk is represented by a step function taking two values, corresponding to two endogenously determined market regimes. This extends the traditional…
Marginal models involve restrictions on the conditional and marginal association structure of a set of categorical variables. They generalize log-linear models for contingency tables, which are the fundamental tools for modelling the…
In decision-making problems under uncertainty, probabilistic constraints are a valuable tool to express safety of decisions. They result from taking the probability measure of a given set of random inequalities depending on the decision…
In this work we develop a new algorithm for regularized empirical risk minimization. Our method extends recent techniques of Shalev-Shwartz [02/2015], which enable a dual-free analysis of SDCA, to arbitrary mini-batching schemes. Moreover,…
The main objective of this project is to determine all irreducible modules of a given modular Lie algebra. In contrast to ordinary Lie algebras, modular Lie algebras require an additional structure known as the p-mapping. The minimal…
Topology optimization has matured to become a powerful engineering design tool that is capable of designing extraordinary structures and materials taking into account various physical phenomena. Despite the method's great advancements in…
We study a general class of convex submodular optimization problems with indicator variables. Many applications such as the problem of inferring Markov random fields (MRFs) with a sparsity or robustness prior can be naturally modeled in…
This thesis studies two problems in modern statistics. First, we study selective inference, or inference for hypothesis that are chosen after looking at the data. The motiving application is inference for regression coefficients selected by…
In high-dimensional model selection problems, penalized simple least-square approaches have been extensively used. This paper addresses the question of both robustness and efficiency of penalized model selection methods, and proposes a…
Let $\textbf{H} = ((H, F^{\bullet}), L)$ be a polarized variation of Hodge structure on a smooth quasi-projective variety $U.$ By M. Saito's theory of mixed Hodge modules, the variation of Hodge structure $\textbf{H}$ can be viewed as a…
We establish a local rigidity theorem for quasi--Lie brackets on quaternionic Banach right modules. Under quantitative control of antisymmetry and Jacobi defects, we construct an explicit bilinear correction that preserves right…
We study a static portfolio optimization problem with two risk measures: a principle risk measure in the objective function and a secondary risk measure whose value is controlled in the constraints. This problem is of interest when it is…
Non-locality is being intensively studied in various PDE-contexts and in variational problems. The numerical approximation also looks challenging, as well as the application of these models to Continuum Mechanics and Image Analysis, among…
Based on the recently developed theory of random sequential compactness, we prove the random Kakutani fixed point theorem in random normed modules: if G is a random sequentially compact L0-convex subset of a random normed module, then every…
Bilevel optimization problems embed the optimality of a subproblem as a constraint of another optimization problem. We introduce the concept of near-optimality robustness for bilevel optimization, protecting the upper-level solution…
The duality $L^{\infty}\simeq (L^{1})'$ frequently breaks down in the presence of model uncertainty, where a single reference measure $P$ is replaced by a non-dominated family of probability measures $\mathcal{P}$. The unavailability of…
We study problems related to indecomposability of modules over certain local finite dimensional trivial extension algebras. We do this by purely combinatorial methods. We introduce the concepts of graph of cyclic modules, of combinatorial…
