We consider the problem of steering a multi-agent system to multi-consensus, namely a regime where groups of agents agree on a given value which may be different from group to group. We first address the problem by using distributed…
The transmission eigenvalues corresponding to the half-line Schr\"odinger equation with the general selfadjoint boundary condition is analyzed when the potential is real valued, integrable, and compactly supported. It is shown that a…
Transferring the state of a quantum system to a given distribution of populations is an important problem with applications to Quantum Chemistry and Atomic Physics. In this work we consider exact population transfers that minimize the L^2…
Modern statistical analysis often encounters high dimensional models but with limited sample sizes. This makes the target data based statistical estimation very difficult. Then how to borrow information from another large sized source data…
We here study random evolutions on Banach spaces, driven by a class of semi-Markov processes. The expectation (in the sense of Bochner) of such evolutions is shown to solve some abstract Cauchy problems. Further, the abstract telegraph…
We develop a transfer operator-based method for the detection of coherent structures and their associated lifespans. Characterising the lifespan of coherent structures allows us to identify dynamically meaningful time windows, which may be…
Consider discrete values of functions shifted by unobserved translation effects, which are independent realizations of a random variable with unknown distribution $\mu$, modeling the variability in the response of each individual. Our aim…
A problem of a wave identification is formulated. An example is considered in conditions of one-dimensional Cauchy problem for conventional string equation in matrix form and its inhomogeneous two-component version. The acoustic and…
We consider integro-differential models describing the evolution of a population structured by a quantitative trait. Individuals interact competitively, creating a strong selection pressure on the population. On the other hand, mutations…
In this paper we consider a one-dimensional diffusion equation on the interval $[0,1]$ satisfying non-Feller boundary conditions. As a consequence, the initial value Cauchy problem fails to preserve nonnegativity or boundedness.…
In this paper we consider a physiologically structured population model with distributed states at birth, formulated on the space of non-negative Radon measures. Using a characterisation of the pre-dual space of bounded Lipschitz functions,…
As animals interact with their environments, they must infer properties of their surroundings. Some animals, including humans, can represent uncertainty about those properties. But when, if ever, do they use probability distributions to…
We study a family of discrete-time random-walk models. The starting point is a fixed generalized transfer operator $R$ subject to a set of axioms, and a given endomorphism in a compact Hausdorff space $X$. Our setup includes a host of…
This note presents a simple overlapping-generations (OLG) model of the transmission of a trait, such as a culture. Initially, some fraction of agents carry the trait. In each time period, young agents are "born" and are influenced by some…
We consider two versions of stochastic population models with mutation and selection. The first approach relies on a multitype branching process; here, individuals reproduce and change type (i.e., mutate) independently of each other,…
The aim of this paper is to give a stochastic representation for the solution to a natural extension of the Caputo-type evolution equation. The nonlocal-in-time operator is defined by a hypersingular integral with a (possibly…
Transfer learning is essential when sufficient data comes from the source domain, with scarce labeled data from the target domain. We develop estimators that achieve minimax linear risk for linear regression problems under distribution…
An absolute continuity approach to quasinormality which relates the operator in question to the spectral measure of its modulus is developed. Algebraic characterizations of some classes of operators that emerged in this context are…
We study covariate shift in the context of nonparametric regression. We introduce a new measure of distribution mismatch between the source and target distributions that is based on the integrated ratio of probabilities of balls at a given…
We consider the problem of estimating the division rate of a size-structured population in a nonparametric setting. The size of the system evolves according to a transport-fragmentation equation: each individual grows with a given transport…
