In this paper, we study the asymptotic behavior of a fully-coupled slow-fast McKean-Vlasov stochastic system. Using the non-linear Poisson equation on Wasserstein space, we first establish the strong convergence in the averaging principle…

In this paper, we give precise rates of convergence in the strong invariance principle for stationary sequences of bounded real-valued random variables satisfying weak dependence conditions. One of the main ingredients is a new Fuk-Nagaev…

We report numerical simulations of a strongly biased diffusion process on a one-dimensional substrate with directed shortcuts between randomly chosen sites, i.e. with a small-world-like structure. We find that, unlike many other dynamical…

Frequency-dependent acoustical loss due to a multitude of physical mechanisms is commonly modeled by multiple relaxations. For discrete relaxation distributions, such models correspond with causal wave equations of integer-order temporal…

This paper develops a general concentration inequality for the suprema of empirical processes with dependent data. The concentration inequality is obtained by combining generic chaining with a coupling-based strategy. Our framework…

In a recent author's work the cyclic behavior of maxima in a hierarchical summation scheme was discovered. In the present note we show how the same phenomenon appears in the scheme of conventional summation: the distribution of maximum of…

The problem of distributed testing against independence with variable-length coding is considered when the \emph{average} and not the \emph{maximum} communication load is constrained as in previous works. The paper characterizes the optimum…

We study the large-width asymptotics of random fully connected neural networks with weights drawn from $\alpha$-stable distributions, a family of heavy-tailed distributions arising as the limiting distributions in the Gnedenko-Kolmogorov…

We continue the study of the maximum of the scale-inhomogeneous discrete Gaussian free field in dimension two. In this paper, we consider the regime of weak correlations and prove the convergence in law of the centred maximum to a randomly…

A crucial assumption in most statistical learning theory is that samples are independently and identically distributed (i.i.d.). However, for many real applications, the i.i.d. assumption does not hold. We consider learning problems in…

Hidden variable graphical models can sometimes imply constraints on the observable distribution that are more complex than simple conditional independence relations. These observable constraints can falsify assumptions of the model that…

We study the limiting behavior of interacting particle systems indexed by large sparse graphs, which evolve either according to a discrete time Markov chain or a diffusion, in which particles interact directly only with their nearest…
