We study the regularity of local minimisers of a prototypical free-discontinuity problem involving both a manifold-valued constraint on the maps (which are defined on a bounded domain $\Omega \subset \R^2$) and a variable-exponent growth in…

Stochastic Approximation (SA) is a popular approach for solving fixed-point equations where the information is corrupted by noise. In this paper, we consider an SA involving a contraction mapping with respect to an arbitrary norm, and show…

This paper addresses the problem of approximating an unknown function from point evaluations. When obtaining these point evaluations is costly, minimising the required sample size becomes crucial, and it is unreasonable to reserve a…
We consider the family of non-local and non-convex functionals proposed and investigated by J. Bourgain, H. Brezis and H.-M. Nguyen in a series of papers of the last decade. It was known that this family of functionals Gamma-converges to a…
Given pointwise samples of an unknown function belonging to a certain model set, one seeks in Optimal Recovery to recover this function in a way that minimizes the worst-case error of the recovery procedure. While it is often known that…
We consider semi-supervised regression when the predictor variables are drawn from an unknown manifold. A simple two step approach to this problem is to: (i) estimate the manifold geodesic distance between any pair of points using both the…
We consider the global minimization of smooth functions based solely on function evaluations. Algorithms that achieve the optimal number of function evaluations for a given precision level typically rely on explicitly constructing an…
Sobolev quantities (norms, inner products, and distances) of probability density functions are important in the theory of nonparametric statistics, but have rarely been used in practice, partly due to a lack of practical estimators. They…
We study nonconvex optimization for phase retrieval and the more general problem of semidefinite low-rank matrix sensing; in particular, we focus on the global nonconvex landscape of overparametrized versions of the nonsmooth amplitude…
