We study linear integro-differential equations in Hilbert spaces with operator-valued kernels and give sufficient conditions for the well-posedness. We show that several types of integro-differential equations are covered by the class of…

We give new insight into the Grassmann condition of the conic feasibility problem \[ x \in L \cap K \setminus\{0\}. \] Here $K\subseteq V$ is a regular convex cone and $L\subseteq V$ is a linear subspace of the finite dimensional Euclidean…

We investigate the well-posedness in the generalized Hartree equation $iu_t + \Delta u + (|x|^{-(N-\gamma)} \ast |u|^p)|u|^{p-2}u=0$, $x \in \mathbb{R}^N$, $0<\gamma<N$, for low powers of nonlinearity, $p<2$. We establish the local…

Some machine learning applications require continual learning - where data comes in a sequence of datasets, each is used for training and then permanently discarded. From a Bayesian perspective, continual learning seems straightforward:…

Stochastic port-Hamiltonian systems on infinite-dimensional spaces governed by It\^o stochastic differential equations (SDEs) are introduced and some properties of this new class of systems are studied. They are an extension of stochastic…

Bayesian methods feature useful properties for solving inverse problems, such as tomographic reconstruction. The prior distribution introduces regularization, which helps solving the ill-posed problem and reduces overfitting. In practice,…

We study the linear ill-posed inverse problem with noisy data in the statistical learning setting. Approximate reconstructions from random noisy data are sought with general regularization schemes in Hilbert scale. We discuss the rates of…

We consider a boundary value problem of a stationary advection equation in a bounded domain with Lipschitz boundary. It is known to be well-posed in $L^p$-based function spaces for $1 < p < \infty$ under the separation condition of the…

We consider the Cauchy problem for the 2D and 3D Klein-Gordon-Schr\"odinger system. In 2D we show local well-posedness for Schr\"odinger data in H^s and wave data in H^{\sigma} x H^{\sigma -1} for s=-1/4 + and \sigma = -1/2, whereas…
