Generalization error bounds are essential for comprehending how well machine learning models work. In this work, we suggest a novel method, i.e., the Auxiliary Distribution Method, that leads to new upper bounds on expected generalization…

The primal-dual gap is a natural upper bound for the energy error and, for uniformly convex minimization problems, also for the error in the energy norm. This feature can be used to construct reliable primal-dual gap error estimators for…

We consider an elliptic boundary problem over a bounded region $\Omega$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$ and acting on the generalized Sobolev space $W^{0,\chi}_p(\Omega)$ for $1 < p < \infty$. We note that similar problems for $\Omega$ either a bounded…

We investigate the existence of equivalent p-norms, 0< p 1, under which conditional symmetric or spreading bases in quasi-Banach spaces become isometric. For spreading bases (which need not be unconditional or even Schauder bases), we…
