By use of window functions, time-frequency analysis tools like Short Time Fourier Transform overcome a shortcoming of the Fourier Transform and enable us to study the time- frequency characteristics of signals which exhibit transient os-…
We consider random geometric graphs on the plane characterized by a non-uniform density of vertices. In particular, we introduce a graph model where $n$ vertices are independently distributed in the unit disc with positions, in polar…
The primary emphasis of this work is the development of a finite element based space-time discretization for solving the stochastic Lagrangian averaged Navier-Stokes (LANS-$\alpha$) equations of incompressible fluid turbulence with…
The paper considers so-called adaptive estimations of regression, distribution density and spectral density of a Gaussian stationary sequence, asymptotically optimal in order at a growing number of observation on any regular subspace…
The uncertainty principle limits quantum states such that when one observable takes predictable values there must be some other mutually unbiased observables which take uniformly random values. We show that this restrictive condition plays…
For turbulence, although the two-point velocity difference u(x+r)-u(x) at each scale r has been studied in detail, the velocity average [u(x+r)+u(x)]/2 has not thus far. Theoretically or experimentally, we find interesting features of the…
We examine a mean-reverting Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process that perturbs an unknown Lipschitz-continuous drift and aim to estimate the drift's value at a predetermined time horizon by sampling the path of the process. Due to the time varying…
Suppose that we are given independent, identically distributed samples $x_l$ from a mixture $\mu$ of no more than $k$ of $d$-dimensional spherical gaussian distributions $\mu_i$ with variance $1$, such that the minimum $\ell_2$ distance…
We study a novel class of affine invariant and consistent tests for multivariate normality. The tests are based on a characterization of the standard $d$-variate normal distribution by means of the unique solution of an initial value…
We study the problem of recovering an unknown compactly-supported multivariate function from samples of its Fourier transform that are acquired nonuniformly, i.e. not necessarily on a uniform Cartesian grid. Reconstruction problems of this…
We consider the problem of sequentially maximising an unknown function over a set of actions while ensuring that every sampled point has a function value below a given safety threshold. We model the function using kernel-based and Gaussian…
We prove a new version of the Uncertainty Principle of the form $\int |f|^2 \lesssim \int_{E^c} |f|^2 + \int_{\Sigma ^c}|\hat f|^2 $ where the sets $E$ and $\Sigma$ are $\epsilon$-thin in the following sense: $|E \cap D(x, \rho_1(x))| \le…
A quantitative regularity theory is developed for weak solutions to the parabolic system $$ \partial_t u-\mathrm{div}\,{\boldsymbol{\mathsf A}}(x,t,Du)=0 \quad\text{in }E_T\subset \mathbb{R}^N\times\mathbb{R}, $$ which features the…
For a class $F$ of complex-valued functions on a set $D$, we denote by $g_n(F)$ its sampling numbers, i.e., the minimal worst-case error on $F$, measured in $L_2$, that can be achieved with a recovery algorithm based on $n$ function…
It is proved that the width of a function and the width of the distribution of its values cannot be made arbitrarily small simultaneously. In the case of ergodic stochastic processes, an ensuing uncertainty relationship is demonstrated for…
This paper presents an analysis of the smoothness problem in cosmology by focussing on the ambiguities originated in the simplifying hypotheses aimed at observationally verifying if the large-scale distribution of galaxies is homogeneous,…
An old conjecture states that among all simplices inscribed in the unit sphere the regular one has the maximal mean width. An equivalent formulation is that for any centered Gaussian vector $(\xi_1,\dots,\xi_n)$ satisfying $\mathbb…
In this paper, we study the Fu\v{c}ik spectrum for the operator with rapidly increasing weight, which is defined as a set $\Sigma$ comprising those $(\alpha, \beta) \in \mathbb{R}^2$ such that \begin{equation*} \left\{\begin{array}{l} L…
We consider the following equations: \begin{equation*} \left\{\begin{array}{ll} (-\triangle)^{\alpha/2}u(x)=f(v(x)), \\ (-\triangle)^{\beta/2}v(x)=g(u(x)), &x \in R^{n},\\ u,v\geq 0, &x \in R^{n}, \end{array} \right. \end{equation*} for…
We consider the problem of approximating the unknown density $u\in L^2(\Omega,\lambda)$ of a measure $\mu$ on $\Omega\subset\R^n$, absolutely continuous with respect to some given reference measure $\lambda$, from the only knowledge of…
