We describe a method to perform functional operations on probability distributions of random variables. The method uses reproducing kernel Hilbert space representations of probability distributions, and it is applicable to all operations…
The double-direction orthogonalization algorithm is applied to construct sequences of polynomials, which are orthogonal over the interval [0,1]with the weighting function 1. Functional and recurrent relations are derived for the sequences…
Motivated by the abundance of functional data such as time series and images, there has been a growing interest in integrating such data into neural networks and learning maps from function spaces to R (i.e., functionals). In this paper, we…
We study functional graphs generated by several quadratic polynomials, acting simultaneously on a finite field of odd characteristic. We obtain several results about the number of leaves in such graphs. In particular, in the case of graphs…
In this work, we prove the existence of linear recurrences of order M with a non-trivial solution vanishing exactly on the set of gaps (or a subset) of a numerical semigroup S finitely generated by a1 < a2 <...< aN and M = aN. Keywords:…
A class of distortions termed functional Bregman divergences is defined, which includes squared error and relative entropy. A functional Bregman divergence acts on functions or distributions, and generalizes the standard Bregman divergence…
Generalisations of the bent property of a boolean function are presented, by proposing spectral analysis with respect to a well-chosen set of local unitary transforms. Quadratic boolean functions are related to simple graphs and it is shown…
We propose a new data-driven approach for learning the fundamental solutions (Green's functions) of various linear partial differential equations (PDEs) given sample pairs of input-output functions. Building off the theory of functional…
This paper considers the partially functional linear model (PFLM) where all predictive features consist of a functional covariate and a high dimensional scalar vector. Over an infinite dimensional reproducing kernel Hilbert space, the…
We study the joint distribution of descents and inverse descents over the set of permutations of n letters. Gessel conjectured that the two-variable generating function of this distribution can be expanded in a given basis with nonnegative…
This note concerns Legendrian cobordisms in one-jet spaces of functions, in the sense of Arnol'd \cite{Arnold} -- consisting of big Legendrian submanifolds between two smaller ones. We are interested in such cobordisms which fit with…
The purpose of this paper is to establish that for any compact, connected C^{\infty} Riemannian manifold there exists a robust family of kernels of increasing smoothness that are well suited for interpolation. They generate Lagrange…
Linear codes with few weights have applications in secrete sharing, authentication codes, association schemes, and strongly regular graphs. In this paper, several classes of $p$-ary linear codes with two or three weights are constructed…
The profile of a relational structure $R$ is the function $\varphi_R$ which counts for every integer $n$ the number $\varphi_R(n)$, possibly infinite, of substructures of $R$ induced on the $n$-element subsets, isomorphic substructures…
We prove positivity results about linearization and connection coefficients for Bessel polynomials. The proof is based on a recursion formula and explicit formulas for the coefficients in special cases. The result implies that the…
Let $n=2m$. In the present paper, we study the binomial Boolean functions of the form $$f_{a,b}(x) = \mathrm{Tr}_1^{n}(a x^{2^m-1 }) +\mathrm{Tr}_1^{2}(bx^{\frac{2^n-1}{3} }), $$ where $m$ is an even positive integer, $a\in…
Low-rank approximations are popular methods to reduce the high computational cost of algorithms involving large-scale kernel matrices. The success of low-rank methods hinges on the matrix rank of the kernel matrix, and in practice, these…
The goal of this note is to bring attention to an interesting family of rings: the rings of $\mathbb Z$-valued functions on $\mathbb Z$ and, more generally, infinite subsets of $\mathbb Z$ whose restrictions to all finite sets are given by…
We begin with (densely-defined) fractional linear transformations (FLT) on (some) Banach algebras and their relatives. This leads to Wedderburn's continued fractions (recursively-defined noncommutative polynomials) for any ring. Along the…
A loop series expansion for the partition function of a general statistical model on a graph is carried out. If the auxiliary probability distributions of the expansion are chosen to be a fixed point of the belief-propagation equation, the…
