Over the years a number of topologies for the set of laws of stochastic processes have been proposed. Building on the weak topology they all aim to capture more accurately the temporal structure of the processes. In a parallel paper we show…

We discuss diffusion of particles in a spatially inhomogeneous medium. From the microscopic viewpoint we consider independent particles randomly evolving on a lattice. We show that the reversibility condition has a discrete geometric…

Controlling the evolution of a many-body stochastic system from a disordered reference state to a structured target ensemble, characterized empirically through samples, arises naturally in non-equilibrium statistical mechanics and…

We propose a framework for second-order achievability, called type deviation convergence, that is generally applicable to settings in network information theory, and is especially suitable for lossy source coding and channel coding with…

In this work, we consider the problem of multi-pitch estimation, i.e., identifying super-imposed truncated harmonic series from noisy measurements. We phrase this as recovering a harmonically-structured measure on the unit circle, where the…

$H$-theorem states that the entropy production is nonnegative and, therefore, the entropy of a closed system should monotonically change in time. In information processing, the entropy production is positive for random transformation of…

Directed topology was introduced as a model of concurrent programs, where the flow of time is described by distinguishing certain paths in the topological space representing such a program. Algebraic invariants which respect this…

Employing a forward diffusion chain to gradually map the data to a noise distribution, diffusion-based generative models learn how to generate the data by inferring a reverse diffusion chain. However, this approach is slow and costly…

We prove the transportation inequality with the uniform norm for the laws of diffusion processes with Lipschitz and/or dissipative coefficients and apply them to some singular stochastic differential equations of interest.

We consider a diffusion process in $\mathbb{R}^d$ with a generator of the form $ L:=\frac 12 e^{V(x)}div(e^{-V(x)}\nabla ) $ where $V$ is measurable and periodic. We only assume that $e^V$ and $e^{-V}$ are locally integrable. We then show…

A simple method is shown to provide optimal variational bounds on $f$-divergences with possible constraints on relative information extremums. Known results are refined or proved to be optimal as particular cases.

Superdiffusion is an anomalous transport behavior. Recently, a new mechanism, termed the ``nodal mechanism," has been proposed to induce superdiffusion in quantum models. However, existing realizations of the nodal mechanism have so far…
