This paper studies the problem of learning the large-scale Gaussian graphical models that are multivariate totally positive of order two ($\text{MTP}_2$). By introducing the concept of bridge, which commonly exists in large-scale sparse…
We prove that if a positive closed current is bounded by another one with bounded, continuous or Hoelder continuous super-potentials, then it inherits the same property. There are two different methods to define wedge-products of positive…
An N-parameter Brownian sheet in R^d maps a non-random compact set F in R^N_+ to the random compact set B(F) in \R^d. We prove two results on the image-set B(F): (1) It has positive d-dimensional Lebesgue measure if and only if F has…
We prove that two Aleksandrov solutions of a generated prescribed Jacobian equation have the same gradients at points where they are both differentiable. For the optimal transportation case where two solutions can be translated to agree at…
In this paper we look at transmission through one-dimensional potential barriers that are piece wise constant. The Transfer Matrix approach is adopted and a new formula is derived for multiplying long matrix sequences that not only leads to…
In this paper, we study the positive stability of $P$-matrices. We prove that a $P$-matrix A is positively stable if A is a $Q^2$-matrix and there is at least one nested sequence of principal submatrices of A each of which is also a…
We consider two inverse problems for the multi-channel two-dimensional Schr\"odinger equation at fixed positive energy, i.e. the equation $-\Delta \psi + V(x)\psi = E \psi$ at fixed positive $E$, where $V$ is a matrix-valued potential. The…
The physically allowed quantum evolutions on a single qubit can be described in terms of their geometry. From a simple parameterisation of unital single-qubit channels, the canonical form of all such channels can be given. The related…
We provide an alternative Fourier analysis for multigrid applied to the Poisson problem in 1D, based on explicit derivation of spectra of the iteration matrix. The new Fourier analysis has advantages over the existing one. It is easy to…
This paper motivates the use of random-bridges -- stochastic processes conditioned to take target distributions at fixed timepoints -- in the realm of generative modelling. Herein, random-bridges can act as stochastic transports between two…
Let $\{X_j\}$ be independent, identically distributed random variables. It is well known that the functional CUSUM statistic and its randomly permuted version both converge weakly to a Brownian bridge if second moments exist. Surprisingly,…
In this paper, we establish a common fixed point theorem for two pairs of occasionally weakly compatible single and set-valued maps satisfying a strict contractive condition in a metric space. Our result extends many results existing in the…
The complete positivity vs positivity correspondence in the Choi-Jamio{\l}kowski-Kraus-Sudarshan quantum channel-state isomorphism depends on the choice of basis. Instead of the "canonical" basis, if we use, e.g., the Pauli spin matrices…
Applied to a nonnegative $m\times n$ matrix with a nonzero $\sigma$-diagonal, the sequence of matrices constructed by alternate row and column scaling conveges to a doubly stochastic matrix. It is proved that if this sequence converges…
The scalar additive Gaussian noise channel has the "single crossing point" property between the minimum-mean square error (MMSE) in the estimation of the input given the channel output, assuming a Gaussian input to the channel, and the MMSE…
We show an equivariant bordism principle for constructing metrics of positive scalar curvature that are invariant under a given group action. Furthermore, we develop a new codimension-2 surgery technique which removes singular strata from…
We study the Schr\"odinger bridge problem when the endpoint distributions are available only through samples. Classical computational approaches estimate Schr\"odinger potentials via Sinkhorn iterations on empirical measures and then…
We give new characterisations of sets of positive reach and show that a closed hypersurface has positive reach if and only if it is of class $C^{1,1}$. These results are then used to prove new alternating Steiner formul{\ae} for…
For sequences $\alpha \equiv \{\alpha_n\}_{n=0}^{\infty}$ of positive real numbers, called weights, we study the weighted shift operators $W_{\alpha}$ having the property of moment infinite divisibility ($\mathcal{MID}$); that is, for any…
Let $\{\phi_s\}_{s\in S}$ be a commutative semigroup of completely positive, contractive, and weak*-continuous linear maps acting on a von Neumann algebra $N$. Assume there exists a semigroup $\{\alpha_s\}_{s\in S}$ of weak*-continuous…
