If the state space of a homogeneous continuous-time Markov chain is too large, making inferences - here limited to determining marginal or limit expectations - becomes computationally infeasible. Fortunately, the state space of such a chain…
While dealing with matching shapes to their parts, we often apply a tool known as functional maps. The idea is to translate the shape matching problem into "convenient" spaces by which matching is performed algebraically by solving a least…
Identification of the unknown parameters and orders of fractional chaotic systems is of vital significance in controlling and synchronization of fractional-order chaotic systems. However there exist basic hypotheses in traditional…
Logarithmic Sobolev inequalities are a fundamental class of inequalities that play an important role in information theory. They play a key role in establishing concentration inequalities and in obtaining quantitative estimates on the…
In the analysis of Markov chains and processes, it is sometimes convenient to replace an unbounded state space with a "truncated" bounded state space. When such a replacement is made, one often wants to know whether the equilibrium behavior…
Fuzzy closure spaces are an extension of classical closure spaces in topology, where the concept of closure is defined in terms of fuzzy sets. This article introduces interior operators and neighborhood systems in fuzzy closure spaces.…
We consider a class of non-homogeneous Markov chains, that contains many natural examples. Next, using martingale methods, we establish some deviation and moment inequalities for separately Lipschitz functions of such a chain, under moment…
This article is the first in a series of works on the fuzzy Landau equation, where particles interact through delocalised Coulomb collisions. Here, we establish a variational characterisation that recasts the fuzzy Landau equation within…
Full Bayesian computational inference for model determination in undirected graphical models is currently restricted to decomposable graphs, except for problems of very small scale. In this paper we develop new, more efficient methodology…
We review here some recent results by the authors, and various coauthors, on (weak,super) Poincar\'e inequalities, transportation-information inequalities or logarithmic Sobolev inequality via a quite simple and efficient technique:…
Quantization of spacetime by means of finite dimensional matrices is the basic idea of fuzzy spaces. There remains an issue of quantizing time, however, the idea is simple and it provides an interesting interplay of various ideas in…
Low-rank tensor estimation offers a powerful approach to addressing high-dimensional data challenges and can substantially improve solutions to ill-posed inverse problems, such as image reconstruction under noisy or undersampled conditions.…
Fourier analysis on the Boolean hypercube is fundamentally defined as the orthogonal decomposition of the space of pseudo-Boolean functions with respect to the uniform probability measure. In this work, we propose an ANOVA-based…
In this paper, we propose a new method for removing all the redundant inequalities generated by Fourier-Motzkin elimination. This method is based on an improved version of Balas' work and can also be used to remove all the redundant…
Record Linkage is the process of identifying and unifying records from various independent data sources. Existing strategies, which can be either deterministic or probabilistic, often fail to link records satisfactorily under uncertainty.…
This paper proposes an improved quasi-Newton penalty decomposition algorithm for the minimization of continuously differentiable functions, possibly nonconvex, over sparse symmetric sets. The method solves a sequence of penalty subproblems…
This paper proposes a non-Gaussian Markov field with a special feature: an explicit partition function. To the best of our knowledge, this is an original contribution. Moreover, the explicit expression of the partition function enables the…
We propose a method to outer bound forward reachable sets on finite horizons for uncertain nonlinear systems with polynomial dynamics. This method makes use of time-dependent polynomial storage functions that satisfy appropriate dissipation…

Reasoning with fuzzy sets can be achieved through measures such as similarity and distance. However, these measures can often give misleading results when considered independently, for example giving the same value for two different pairs…
