We consider the sparse polynomial approximation of a multivariate function on a tensor product domain from samples of both the function and its gradient. When only function samples are prescribed, weighted $\ell^1$ minimization has recently…

In this paper, we investigate optimal linear approximations ($n$-approximation numbers ) of the embeddings from the Sobolev spaces $H^r\ (r>0)$ for various equivalent norms and the Gevrey type spaces $G^{\alpha,\beta}\ (\alpha,\beta>0)$ on…

In computational practice, most attention is paid to rational approximations of functions and approximations by the sum of exponents. We consider a wide enough class of nonlinear approximations characterized by a set of two required…

We determine the behavior of multiplicative functions vanishing at a positive proportion of prime numbers in almost all short intervals. Furthermore we quantify "almost all" with uniform power-saving upper bounds, that is, we save a power…

We prove an L2 recovery bound for a family of sparse estimators defined as minimizers of some empirical loss functions -- which include hinge loss and logistic loss. More precisely, we achieve an upper-bound for coefficients estimation…

To optimize a neural network one often thinks of optimizing its parameters, but it is ultimately a matter of optimizing the function that maps inputs to outputs. Since a change in the parameters might serve as a poor proxy for the change in…

We study the problem of multivariate $L_2$-approximation of functions in a weighted Korobov space using a median lattice-based algorithm recently proposed by the authors. In the original work, the algorithm requires knowledge of the…

In this paper we consider the linear regression model $Y =S X+\varepsilon $ with functional regressors and responses. We develop new inference tools to quantify deviations of the true slope $S$ from a hypothesized operator $S_0$ with…

We study the least squares regression function estimator over the class of real-valued functions on $[0,1]^d$ that are increasing in each coordinate. For uniformly bounded signals and with a fixed, cubic lattice design, we establish that…

Let $\Omega_i\subset\mathbb{R}^{n_i}$, $i=1,\ldots,m$, be given domains. In this article, we study the low-rank approximation with respect to $L^2(\Omega_1\times\dots\times\Omega_m)$ of functions from Sobolev spaces with dominating mixed…

We prove that every $n$-point metric space of negative type (and, in particular, every $n$-point subset of $L_1$) embeds into a Euclidean space with distortion $O(\sqrt{\log n} \cdot\log \log n)$, a result which is tight up to the iterated…

A natural measure of smoothness of a Boolean function is its sensitivity (the largest number of Hamming neighbors of a point which differ from it in function value). The structure of smooth or equivalently low-sensitivity functions is still…

We consider the problem of function approximation by two-layer neural nets with random weights that are "nearly Gaussian" in the sense of Kullback-Leibler divergence. Our setting is the mean-field limit, where the finite population of…

In this paper, we study tractability of $L_2$-approximation of one-periodic functions from weighted Korobov spaces in the worst-case setting. The considered weights are of product form. For the algorithms we allow information from the class…

We approximate $d$-variate periodic functions in weighted Korobov spaces with general weight parameters using $n$ function values at lattice points. We do not limit $n$ to be a prime number, as in currently available literature, but allow…

Biased sampling and missing data complicates statistical problems ranging from causal inference to reinforcement learning. We often correct for biased sampling of summary statistics with matching methods and importance weighting. In this…

We give a convergence proof for the approximation by sparse collocation of Hilbert-space-valued functions depending on countably many Gaussian random variables. Such functions appear as solutions of elliptic PDEs with lognormal diffusion…

We propose a randomized lattice algorithm for approximating multivariate periodic functions over the $d$-dimensional unit cube from the weighted Korobov space with mixed smoothness $\alpha > 1/2$ and product weights…

Given a loss function $F:\mathcal{X} \rightarrow \R^+$ that can be written as the sum of losses over a large set of inputs $a_1,\ldots, a_n$, it is often desirable to approximate $F$ by subsampling the input points. Strong theoretical…

Suppose $f : [0,1]^2 \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ is a $(c,\alpha)$-mixed H\"older function that we sample at $l$ points $X_1,\ldots,X_l$ chosen uniformly at random from the unit square. Let the location of these points and the function values…
