This is a survey paper discussing one specific (and classical) system of algebraic equations - the so called "Prony system". We provide a short overview of its unusually wide connections with many different fields of Mathematics, stressing…
We consider a reconstruction problem for ``spike-train'' signals $F$ of an a priori known form $F(x)=\sum_{j=1}^{d}a_{j}\delta\left(x-x_{j}\right),$ from their moments $m_k(F)=\int x^kF(x)dx.$ We assume that the moments $m_k(F)$,…
We provide an overview of some results on the "geometry of error amplification" in solving Prony system, in situations where the nodes near-collide. It turns out to be governed by the "Prony foliations" $S_q$, whose leaves are "equi-moment…
We consider the reconstruction of spike train signals of the form $$F(x) = \sum_{i=1}^d a_i \delta(x-x_i),$$ from their moments measurements $m_k(F)=\int x^k F(x) dx = \sum_{i=1}^d a_ix^k$. When some of the nodes $x_i$ near collide the…

Many reconstruction problems in signal processing require solution of a certain kind of nonlinear systems of algebraic equations, which we call Prony systems. We study these systems from a general perspective, addressing questions of global…
This article contains two main theoretical results on neural spike train models. The first assumes that the spike train is modeled as a counting or point process on the real line where the conditional intensity function is a product of a…
In many animal sensory pathways, the transformation from external stimuli to spike trains is essentially deterministic. In this context, a new mathematical framework for coding and reconstruction, based on a biologically plausible model of…
We study recovery of amplitudes and nodes of a finite impulse train from noisy frequency samples. This problem is known as super-resolution under sparsity constraints and has numerous applications. An especially challenging scenario occurs…
Spiking activity in cortical networks is nonlinear in nature. The linear-nonlinear cascade model, some versions of which are also known as point-process generalized linear model, can efficiently capture the nonlinear dynamics exhibited by…
Some tunneling phenomena are described, in the semiclassical approximation, by unstable complex trajectories. We develop a systematic procedure to stabilize the trajectories and to calculate the tunneling probability, including both the…
We investigate the stimulus-dependent tuning properties of a noisy ionic conductance model for intrinsic subthreshold oscillations in membrane potential and associated spike generation. On depolarization by an applied current, the model…
Spiking Neural Networks (SNN) are models for "realistic" neuronal computation, which makes them somehow different in scope from "ordinary" deep-learning models widely used in AI platforms nowadays. SNNs focus on timed latency (and possibly…
In order to ease the analysis of error propagation in neuromorphic computing and to get a better understanding of spiking neural networks (SNN), we address the problem of mathematical analysis of SNNs as endomorphisms that map spike trains…
It was found recently that processes of multidimensional tunneling are generally described at high energies by unstable semiclassical trajectories. We study two observational signatures related to the instability of trajectories. First, we…
We determine spectral curves for the known spiky string solutions in AdS space in the limit of large angular momentum. We also construct generic multi-spike solutions in this limit and compute the corresponding spectral data. The resulting…
We start a systematic study of the topology, geometry and singularities of the Prony varieties $S_q(\mu)$, defined by the first $q+1$ equations of the classical Prony system $$\sum_{j=1}^d a_j x_j^k = \mu_k, \ k= 0,1,\ldots \ .$$ Prony…
We construct a model that predicts the statistical properties of spike trains generated by a sensory neuron. The model describes the combined effects of the neuron's intrinsic properties, the noise in the surrounding, and the external…
We introduce a mathematical framework where the statistics of spikes trains, produced by neural networks evolving under synaptic plasticity, can be analysed.
Modeling spike firing assumes that spiking statistics are Poisson, but real data violates this assumption. To capture non-Poissonian features, in order to fix the inevitable inherent irregularity, researchers rescale the time axis with…
