We consider a Schr\"odinger bridge problem where the Markov process is subject to parameter perturbations, forming an ensemble of systems. Our objective is to steer this ensemble from the initial distribution to the final distribution using…
Given a matrix over a skew field fixing the column (1,...,1)^t, we give formulas for a row vector fixed by this matrix. The same techniques are applied to give noncommutative extensions of probabilistic properties of codes.
We establish some common fixed point results for four transformations in vector S-metric spaces by using the notion of weakly compatibility (WC) and occasionally weakly compatibility (OWC). The first theorem is proved by using the concept…
Probablistic solutions of the so called Schr\"{o}dinger boundary data problem provide for a unique Markovian interpolation between any two strictly positive probability densities designed to form the input-output statistics data for a…
Consider the problem of matching two independent i.i.d. samples of size $N$ from two distributions $P$ and $Q$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$. For an arbitrary continuous cost function, the optimal assignment problem looks for the matching that…

In this paper, Gaussian two-way channel with uniform output quantization is studied. For Gaussian inputs, the optimum uniform finite-level quantizer is determined numerically for different values of Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR). The two-way…

We use representation theory of the symmetric group S_n to prove Poisson limit theorems for the distribution of fixed points for three types of non-uniform permutations. First, we give results for the commutator of g and x where g and x are…
This paper presents a counterexample to the optimality conjecture in convex quantum channel optimization proposed by Coutts et al. The conjecture posits that for nuclear norm minimization problems in quantum channel optimization, the dual…
In a recent article, Krapivsky and Redner (J. Stat. Mech. 093208 (2018)) established that the distribution of the first hitting times for a diffusing particle subject to hitting an absorber is independent of the direction of the external…
Let $N,d > 1$ be fixed integers, let $(T_1, ..., T_N)$ be random d-by-d matrices with nonnegative entries and $Q$ a random d-vector with nonnegative entries. This induces a mapping (the multivariate smoothing transform) on probability laws…
We prove unique continuation properties for linear variable coefficient Schr\"odinger equations with bounded real potentials. Under certain smallness conditions on the leading coefficients, we prove that solutions decaying faster than any…
We consider two formally determined inverse problems for the wave equation in more than one space dimension. Motivated by the fixed angle inverse scattering problem, we show that a compactly supported potential is uniquely determined by the…
Strong embeddings, that is, couplings between a partial sum process of a sequence of random variables and a Brownian motion, have found numerous applications in probability and statistics. We extend Chatterjee's novel use of Stein's method…
We develop a fixed-point iterative algorithm that computes the matrix projection with respect to the Bures distance on the set of positive definite matrices that are invariant under some symmetry. We prove that the fixed-point iteration…
We present positive maps and matrix inequalities for variables from the positive cone. These inequalities contain partial transpose and reshuffling operations, and can be understood as positive multilinear maps that are in one-to-one…
We prove two general factorization theorems for fixed-point invariants of fibrations: one for the Lefschetz number and one for the Reidemeister trace. These theorems imply the familiar multiplicativity results for the Lefschetz and Nielsen…
In an earlier paper, we established a natural connection between the Baum-Connes conjecture and noncommutative Bloch theory, viz. the spectral theory of projectively periodic elliptic operators on covering spaces. We elaborate on this…
We establish for dual quantization the counterpart of Kieffer's uniqueness result for compactly supported one dimensional probability distributions having a $\log$-concave density (also called strongly unimodal): for such distributions,…
