The paper shows an inf-sup stability property for several well-known 2D and 3D Stokes elements on triangulations which are not fitted to a given smooth or polygonal domain. The property implies stability and optimal error estimates for a…

This article studies the \emph{robust covariance matrix estimation} of a data collection $X = (x_1,\ldots,x_n)$ with $x_i = \sqrt \tau_i z_i + m$, where $z_i \in \mathbb R^p$ is a \textit{concentrated vector} (e.g., an elliptical random…

Today's data pose unprecedented challenges to statisticians. It may be incomplete, corrupted or exposed to some unknown source of contamination. We need new methods and theories to grapple with these challenges. Robust estimation is one of…

Quantum work statistics differ from classical ones because initial energy coherence matters. The standard two-point measurement (TPM) gives a positive distribution but erases phase information. Coherence-retaining endpoint-work…

One partially ordered set, $Q$, is a Tukey quotient of another, $P$, denoted $P \geq_T Q$, if there is a map $\phi : P \to Q$ carrying cofinal sets of $P$ to cofinal sets of $Q$. Let $X$ be a space and denote by $\mathcal{K}(X)$ the set of…

In finite mixture models, apart from underlying mixing measure, true kernel density function of each subpopulation in the data is, in many scenarios, unknown. Perhaps the most popular approach is to choose some kernel functions that we…

When applying a statistical method in practice it often occurs that some observations deviate from the usual assumptions. However, many classical methods are sensitive to outliers. The goal of robust statistics is to develop methods that…
