We study the stability and dynamics of solitons in the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation in the presence of noise and deterministic forcing. The noise is space-dependent and statistically translation-invariant. We show that, for small…
We study a Gaussian measure with parameter $q\in(0,1)$ on the dual of the unitary group of size $N$: we prove that a random highest weight under this measure is the coupling of two independent $q$-uniform random partitions $\alpha,\beta$…
Most compressed sensing algorithms do not account for the effect of saturation in noisy compressed measurements, though saturation is an important consequence of the limited dynamic range of existing sensors. The few algorithms that handle…
We derive first-order (in the stepsize) bounds on the bias in Wasserstein distances of the invariant measure of stochastic gradient kinetic Langevin dynamics with minimal assumptions on the stochastic gradient noise. These bounds sharpen…
Consider a parabolic SPDE \[ \partial_t u = \Delta u + \sigma(u)\eta, \] on $(0\,,\infty)\times\mathbb{R}^d$, where $\eta$ is a centered, generalized Gaussian noise with $\text{Cov}[\eta(t\,,x)\,,\eta(s\,,y)]=\delta_0(t-s)\Lambda(x-y)$ for…
We consider signal source localization from range-difference measurements. First, we give some readily-checked conditions on measurement noises and sensor deployment to guarantee the asymptotic identifiability of the model and show the…
The trivial proof of the ergodic theorem for a finite set $Y$ and a permutation $T:Y\to Y$ shows that for an arbitrary function $f:Y\to{\mathbb R}$ the sequence of ergodic means $A_n(f,T)$ stabilizes for $n \gg |T|$. We show that if $|Y|$…
We consider a robust linear regression model $y=X\beta^* + \eta$, where an adversary oblivious to the design $X\in \mathbb{R}^{n\times d}$ may choose $\eta$ to corrupt all but an $\alpha$ fraction of the observations $y$ in an arbitrary…
We give a stability result for sparse convolutions on $\ell^2(G)\times \ell^1(G)$ for torsion-free discrete Abelian groups $G$ such as $\mathbb{Z}$. It turns out, that the torsion-free property prevents full cancellation in the convolution…
We prove the first robust dimension free isoperimetric result for the standard Gaussian measure $\gamma_n$ and the corresponding boundary measure $\gamma_n^+$ in $\mathbb {R}^n$. The main result in the theory of Gaussian isoperimetry…
This paper studies the nonlinear stability of capillary-gravity waves propagating along the interface dividing two immiscible fluid layers of finite depth. The motion in both regions is governed by the incompressible and irrotational Euler…
We prove the quasi-invariance of gaussian measures (supported by functions of increasing Sobolev regularity) under the flow of one dimensional Hamiltonian PDE's such as the regularized long wave (BBM) equation.
This work represents a natural coalescence of two important lines of work: learning mixtures of Gaussians and algorithmic robust statistics. In particular we give the first provably robust algorithm for learning mixtures of any constant…
A local convergence rate is established for a Gauss orthogonal collocation method applied to optimal control problems with control constraints. If the Hamiltonian possesses a strong convexity property, then the theory yields convergence for…

We propose a novel algorithm, termed soft quasi-Newton (soft QN), for optimization in the presence of bounded noise. Traditional quasi-Newton algorithms are vulnerable to such perturbations. To develop a more robust quasi-Newton method, we…
Let $\Omega$ be an open half-space or slab in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ endowed with a perturbation of the Gaussian measure of the form $f(p):=\exp(\omega(p)-c|p|^2)$, where $c>0$ and $\omega$ is a smooth concave function depending only on the…
We prove stability estimates for the Bakry-Emery bound on Poincar\'e and logarithmic Sobolev constants of uniformly log-concave measures. In particular, we improve the quantitative bound in a result of De Philippis and Figalli asserting…
Sliding motion is evolution on a switching manifold of a discontinuous, piecewise-smooth system of ordinary differential equations. In this paper we quantitatively study the effects of small-amplitude, additive, white Gaussian noise on…
