We define a Walsh space which contains all functions whose partial mixed derivatives up to order $\delta \ge 1$ exist and have finite variation. In particular, for a suitable choice of parameters, this implies that certain Sobolev spaces…

We study the performance of stochastic gradient descent (SGD) on smooth and strongly-convex finite-sum optimization problems. In contrast to the majority of existing theoretical works, which assume that individual functions are sampled with…
We study a quadrature, proposed by Ermakov and Zolotukhin in the sixties, through the lens of kernel methods. The nodes of this quadrature rule follow the distribution of a determinantal point process, while the weights are defined through…
We study the strong approximation of a rough volatility model, in which the log-volatility is given by a fractional Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process with Hurst parameter $H<1/2$. Our methods are based on an equidistant discretization of the…
Let $X_N$ be a symmetric $N\times N$ random matrix whose $\sqrt{N}$-scaled centered entries are uniformly square integrable. We prove that if the entries of $X_N$ can be partitioned into independent subsets each of size $o(\log N)$, then…
Distributionally robust optimization (DRO) is a worst-case framework for stochastic optimization under uncertainty that has drawn fast-growing studies in recent years. When the underlying probability distribution is unknown and observed…
We present a practical implementation of an optimal first-order method, due to Nesterov, for large-scale total variation regularization in tomographic reconstruction, image deblurring, etc. The algorithm applies to $\mu$-strongly convex…

A filtered Lie splitting scheme is proposed for the time integration of the cubic nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation on the two-dimensional torus $\mathbb{T}^2$. The scheme is analyzed in a framework of discrete Bourgain spaces, which allows…
We propose two novel unbiased estimators of the integral $\int_{[0,1]^{s}}f(u) du$ for a function $f$, which depend on a smoothness parameter $r\in\mathbb{N}$. The first estimator integrates exactly the polynomials of degrees $p<r$ and…

In this paper, we study the binary classification problem on $[0,1]^d$ under the Tsybakov noise condition (with exponent $s \in [0,\infty]$) and the compositional assumption. This assumption requires the conditional class probability…
Gradient-based (a.k.a. `first order') optimization algorithms are routinely used to solve large scale non-convex problems. Yet, it is generally hard to predict their effectiveness. In order to gain insight into this question, we revisit the…
We study a filtered Lie splitting scheme for the cubic nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger equation. We establish error estimates at low regularity by using discrete Bourgain spaces. This allows us to handle data in $H^s$ with $0<s<1$ overcoming the…
