We extend the error bounds from [SIMAX, Vol. 43, Iss. 2, pp. 787-811 (2022)] for the Lanczos method for matrix function approximation to the block algorithm. Numerical experiments suggest that our bounds are fairly robust to changing block…
This paper is on $\Gamma$-convergence for degenerate integral functionals related to homogenisation problems in the Heisenberg group. Here both the rescaling and the notion of invariance or periodicity are chosen in a way motivated by the…
Let $\Gamma$ be a countable discrete group. We show that $\Gamma$ has the approximation property if and only if $\Gamma$ is exact and for any operator space $S \subseteq \K(H)$ we have $\Cu(\Gamma)^{\Gamma} \otimes S = (\Cu(\Gamma) \otimes…

The expansion of Kummer's hypergeometric function as a series of incomplete Gamma functions is discussed, for real values of the parameters and of the variable. The error performed approximating the Kummer function with a finite sum of…
In this paper we generalize to arbitrary dimensions a one-dimensional equicoerciveness and $\Gamma$-convergence result for a second derivative perturbation of Perona-Malik type functionals. Our proof relies on a new density result in the…
For a family of infinite-dimensional diffusions with degenerate noise, we develop a modified $\Gamma$ calculus on finite-dimensional projections of the equation in order to produce explicit functional inequalities that can be scaled to…
Associated to a finite measure on the real line with finite moments are recurrence coefficients in a three-term formula for orthogonal polynomials with respect to this measure. These recurrence coefficients are frequently inputs to modern…
The ubiquitous Lanczos method can approximate $f(A)x$ for any symmetric $n \times n$ matrix $A$, vector $x$, and function $f$. In exact arithmetic, the method's error after $k$ iterations is bounded by the error of the best degree-$k$…
We show that the minimization problem of any non-convex and non-lower semi-continuous function on a compact convex subset of a locally convex real topological vector space can be studied via an associated convex and lower semi-continuous…
We analyse the $\Gamma$-convergence of general non-local convolution type functionals with varying densities depending on the space variable and on the symmetrized gradient. The limit is a local free-discontinuity functional, where the bulk…
In this paper we achieve some $\Gamma$-compactness results for suitable classes of integral functionals depending on a given family of Lipschitz vector fields, with respect to both the strong $L^p-$topology and the strong…
Many models require integrals of high-dimensional functions: for instance, to obtain marginal likelihoods. Such integrals may be intractable, or too expensive to compute numerically. Instead, we can use the Laplace approximation (LA). The…
We analyze integral representation and $\Gamma$-convergence properties of functionals defined on \emph{piecewise rigid functions}, i.e., functions which are piecewise affine on a Caccioppoli partition where the derivative in each component…
The Ambrosio-Tortorelli functional is a phase-field approximation of the Mumford-Shah functional that has been widely used for image segmentation. The approximation has the advantages of being easy to implement, maintaining the segmentation…
The aim of this paper is to deal with the asymptotics of generalized Orlicz norms when the lower growth rate tends to infinity. $\Gamma$-convergence results and related representation theorems in terms of $L^\infty$ functionals are proven…
We show the existence of ``good'' approximations to a real number $\gamma$ using rationals with denominators formed by digits $0$ and $1$ in base $b$. We derive an elementary estimate and enhance this result by managing exponential sums.
Given an image $u_0$, the aim of minimising the Mumford-Shah functional is to find a decomposition of the image domain into sub-domains and a piecewise smooth approximation $u$ of $u_0$ such that $u$ varies smoothly within each sub-domain.…
We study the problem of approximating the value of the matching polynomial on graphs with edge parameter $\gamma$, where $\gamma$ takes arbitrary values in the complex plane. When $\gamma$ is a positive real, Jerrum and Sinclair showed that…
Lanczos-based methods have become standard tools for tasks involving matrix functions. Progress on these algorithms has been driven by several largely disjoint communities, resulting many innovative and important advancements which would…
