Stochastic approximation is a foundation for many algorithms found in machine learning and optimization. It is in general slow to converge: the mean square error vanishes as $O(n^{-1})$. A deterministic counterpart known as quasi-stochastic…

We study properties of distributions of random variables with independent identically distributed symbols of generalized L\"{u}roth series (GLS) expansions (the family of GLS-expansions contains L\"{u}roth expansion and $Q_{\infty}$- and…

We consider skew-product maps over circle rotations $x\mapsto x+\alpha$ (mod 1) with factors that take values in SL(2,R). This includes maps of almost Mathieu type. In numerical experiments, with $\alpha$ the inverse golden mean, Fibonacci…

Consider the family of power divergence statistics based on $n$ trials, each leading to one of $r$ possible outcomes. This includes the log-likelihood ratio and Pearson's statistic as important special cases. It is known that in certain…

We study the approximation of arbitrary distributions $P$ on $d$-dimensional space by distributions with log-concave density. Approximation means minimizing a Kullback--Leibler-type functional. We show that such an approximation exists if…

We establish a sparsity in terms of $\ell_p$-summability and weighted $\ell_2$-summability for the coefficients of the Laguerre generalized piecewise-polynomial chaos expansion of solutions to parametric elliptic PDEs with log-Laplace…

Generalized L\"uroth series generalize $b$-adic representations as well as L\"uroth series. Almost all real numbers are normal, but it is not easy to construct one. In this paper, a new construction of normal numbers with respect to…

In this article we study a piecewise linear discretization schemes for transfer operators (Perron-Frobenius operators) associated with interval maps. We show how these can be used to provide rigorous {\bf pointwise} approximations for…

Universality, namely distributional invariance, is a well-known property for many random structures. For example, it is known to hold for a broad range of variational problems with random input. Much less is known about the algorithmic…

Motivated by a problem arising when analysing data from quarantine searches, we explore properties of distributions of sums of independent means of independent lattice-valued random variables. The aim is to determine the extent to which…

The L\"uroth expansion of a real number $x\in (0,1]$ is the series \[ x= \frac{1}{d_1} + \frac{1}{d_1(d_1-1)d_2} + \frac{1}{d_1(d_1-1)d_2(d_2-1)d_3} + \cdots, \] with $d_j\in\mathbb{N}_{\geq 2}$ for all $j\in\mathbb{N}$. Given $m\in…

Let $\beta >1$ be a non-integer. We consider expansions of the form $\sum_{i=1}^{\infty} d_i \beta^{-i}$, where the digits $(d_i)_{i \geq 1}$ are generated by means of a Borel map $K_{\beta}$ defined on $\{0,1\}^{\N}\times [ 0, \lfloor…

We prove that skew systems with a sufficiently expanding base have approximate exponential decay of correlations, meaning that the exponential rate is observed modulo an error. The fiber maps are only assumed to be Lipschitz regular and to…

In this article we study the expanding properties of random perturbations of contracting Lorenz maps satisfying the summability condition of exponent 1. Under general conditions on the maps and perturbation types, we prove stochastic…

In this paper we show how to apply classical probabilistic tools for partial sums $\sum_{j=0}^{n-1}\varphi\circ\tau^j$ generated by a skew product $\tau$, built over a sufficiently well mixing base map and a random expanding dynamical…

We prove a new lower bound on the critical density $\rho_c$ of the hard disk model, i.e., the density below which it is possible to efficiently sample random configurations of $n$ non-overlapping disks in a unit torus. We use a classic…

Concerned with the Stokes systems with rapidly oscillating periodic coefficients, we mainly extend the recent works in \cite{SGZWS,G} to those in term of Lipschitz domains. The arguments employed here are quite different from theirs, and…

We introduce an ergodic approach to the study of {\em joint normality} of representations of numbers. For example, we show that for any integer $b \geq 2$ almost every number $x \in [0,1)$ is jointly normal with respect to the $b$-expansion…
