We develop a symmetry-aware toolkit for finite mixtures whose components are only identifiable up to a finite \emph{folding} group action. The correct estimand is the multiset of parameter orbits in the quotient space, not an ordered list…
We develop a quenched thermodynamic formalism for open random dynamical systems generated by finitely branched, piecewise-monotone mappings of the interval. The openness refers to the presence of holes in the interval, which terminate…
The purpose of this seminar, which was presented at the Universitat Polit\`ecnica de Val\`encia in late 2012, is to explain several results concerning the bounded approximation property for Fr\'echet spaces. We give a full detailed proof of…
A pseudo-polynomial time $(1 + \varepsilon)$-approximation algorithm is presented for computing the integral and average Fr\'{e}chet distance between two given polygonal curves $T_1$ and $T_2$. In particular, the running time is…
The Wasserstein distance is an attractive tool for data analysis but statistical inference is hindered by the lack of distributional limits. To overcome this obstacle, for probability measures supported on finitely many points, we derive…
Let f be a classical holomorphic cusp form for SL_2(Z) of weight k which is a normalized eigenfunction for the Hecke algebra, and let \lambda(n) be its eigenvalues. In this paper we study "shifted convolution sums" of the eigenvalues…
Motivated by the problem of nonparametric inference in high level digital image analysis, we introduce a general extrinsic approach for data analysis on Hilbert manifolds with a focus on means of probability distributions on such sample…
A well known result of H. Attouch states that the Mosco convergence of a sequence of proper convex lower semicontinuous functions defined on a Hilbert space is equivalent to the pointwise convergence of the associated Moreau envelopes. In…
Computing sample means on Riemannian manifolds is typically computationally costly as exemplified by computation of the Fr\'echet mean which often requires finding minimizing geodesics to each data point for each step of an iterative…
This research endeavors to offer insights into unlocking the further potential of transformer-based architectures. One of the primary motivations is to offer a geometric interpretation for the attention mechanism in transformers. In our…
The recently proposed soft finite element method (SoftFEM) reduces the stiffness (condition numbers), consequently improving the overall approximation accuracy. The method subtracts a least-square term that penalizes the gradient jumps…
The purpose of this paper is to propose and analyze a multi-step iterative algorithm to solve a convex optimization problem and a fixed point problem posed on a Hadamard space. The convergence properties of the proposed algorithm are…
We study invariant measures for random countable (finite or infinite) conformal iterated function systems (IFS) with arbitrary overlaps. We do not assume any type of separation condition. We prove, under a mild assumption of finite entropy,…
Many problems in science and engineering involve, as part of their solution process, the consideration of a separable function which is the sum of two convex functions, one of them possibly non-smooth. Recently a few works have discussed…
We study the Fr\'echet $k-$means of a metric measure space when both the measure and the distance are unknown and have to be estimated. We prove a general result that states that the $k-$means are continuous with respect to the measured…
In this article we prove that it is possible to construct, using newest-vertex bisection, meshes that equidistribute the error in $H^1$-norm, whenever the function to approximate can be decomposed as a sum of a regular part plus a singular…
In this paper we consider a heteroscedastic transformation model, where the transformation belongs to a parametric family of monotone transformations, the regression and variance function are modelled nonparametrically and the error is…
The Hamiltonian of mean force (HMF) provides the standard starting point for strong-coupling thermodynamics, yet explicit operator forms are known only in restricted settings. We present a quenched density framework that uses the…
The Fourier transform of a bounded measurable function, $f$, on the real line is shown to be the second distributional derivative of a H\"older continuous function. The Fourier transform is written as the difference of $\int_{-1}^1…
Fr\'echet means are indispensable for nonparametric statistics on non-Euclidean spaces. For suitable random variables, in some sense, they "sense" topological and geometric structure. In particular, smeariness seems to indicate the presence…
