We prove lower bounds on $||T_t||$, where $T_t$ is a one-parameter semigroup, starting from information on the resolvent norms, i.e. the pseudospectra. We provide a physically important example in which the growth of the semigroup norm…

We study reinforcement learning for controlled diffusion processes with unbounded continuous state spaces, bounded continuous actions, and polynomially growing rewards: settings that arise naturally in finance, economics, and operations…

Given a subset $S=\{s_0, s_1\}$ of the complex plane with two points and an infinite subset ${\mathscr S}$ of $S\times {\mathbb N}$, where ${\mathbb N}=\{0,1,2,\dots\}$ is the set of nonnegative integers, we ask for a lower bound for the…

Multivariate global polynomial approximations - such as polynomial chaos or stochastic collocation methods - are now in widespread use for sensitivity analysis and uncertainty quantification. The pseudospectral variety of these methods uses…

We expand upon a new theoretical framework for Diffusion Limited Aggregation and associated Dielectric Breakdown Models in two dimensions [R. C. Ball and E. Somfai, Phys. Rev. Lett. 89, 135503 (2002)]. Key steps are understanding how these…

We study the semigroup generated by the hypoelliptic Laplacian on the circle and the maximal bounded holomorphic extension of this semigroup. Using an orthogonal decomposition into harmonic oscillators with complex shifts, we describe the…

This investigation is a part of a research program aiming to characterize the extreme behavior possible in hydrodynamic models by analyzing the maximum growth of certain fundamental quantities. We consider here the rate of growth of the…

We prove sectorial extension theorems for ultraholomorphic function classes of Beurling type defined by weight functions with a controlled loss of regularity. The proofs are based on a reduction lemma, due to the second author, which allows…

Classical Laguerre spectral approximations are highly effective on the half-line when the target function is smooth in the usual polynomial scale. However, their accuracy deteriorates for nonsmooth functions. Such behavior appears naturally…

We consider operators arising from regular Dirichlet forms with vanishing killing term. We give bounds for the bottom of the (essential) spectrum in terms of exponential volume growth with respect to an intrinsic metric. As special cases we…

We study some problems related to the effect of bounded, additive sample noise in the bandlimited interpolation given by the Whittaker-Shannon-Kotelnikov (WSK) sampling formula. We establish a generalized form of the WSK series that allows…

Submodular and fractionally subadditive (or equivalently XOS) functions play a fundamental role in combinatorial optimization, algorithmic game theory and machine learning. Motivated by learnability of these classes of functions from random…

We prove an upper bound on the bottom of the essential spectrum of a diffusion in term of the growth of the volume of $X$, generalizing a result by R. Brooks.

We show that unary log-analytic functions are polynomially bounded. In the higher dimensional case globally a log-analytic function can have exponential growth. We show that a log-analytic function is polynomially bounded on a definable set…

In this paper we develop the Direct Method in the Calculus of Variations for free-discontinuity energies whose bulk and surface densities exhibit superlinear growth, respectively for large gradients and small jump amplitudes. A distinctive…

We call a function "constructible" if it has a globally subanalytic domain and can be expressed as a sum of products of globally subanalytic functions and logarithms of positively-valued globally subanalytic functions. Our main theorem…

Bayesian optimization is normally performed within fixed variable bounds. In cases like hyperparameter tuning for machine learning algorithms, setting the variable bounds is not trivial. It is hard to guarantee that any fixed bounds will…

We consider the homogenization of random integral functionals which are possibly unbounded, that is, the domain of the integrand is not the whole space and may depend on the space-variable. In the vectorial case, we develop a complete…
