A fundamental issue in the renormalization-group (RG) theory of critical phenomena concerns the allowed values of critical exponents that are consistent with the continuous nature of a phase transition. Here we conjecture a lower bound for…
To avoid the complicated topology of surviving clusters induced by standard Strong Disorder RG in dimension $d>1$, we introduce a modified procedure called 'Boundary Strong Disorder RG' where the order of decimations is chosen a priori. We…
We derive approximation bounds for learning single neuron models using thresholded gradient descent when both the labels and the covariates are possibly corrupted adversarially. We assume the data follows the model $y =…
We consider the teacher-student setting of learning shallow neural networks with quadratic activations and planted weight matrix $W^*\in\mathbb{R}^{m\times d}$, where $m$ is the width of the hidden layer and $d\le m$ is the data dimension.…
We will define an operad $\mathcal{B}^0$ on planar rooted trees. $\mathcal{B}^0$ is analgous to the $NAP$-operad in the non-planar tree setting. We will define a family of "current-preserving" operads $\mathcal{B}^\lambda$ depending on a…
Decision trees with binary splits are popularly constructed using Classification and Regression Trees (CART) methodology. For binary classification and regression models, this approach recursively divides the data into two near-homogenous…
We derive the variational formulation of a gradient damage model by applying the energetic formulation of rate-independent processes and obtain a regularized formulation of fracture. The model exhibits different behavior at traction and…
We study the phenomenon of grain-boundary premelting for temperatures below the melting point in the phase-field crystal model of a pure material with hexagonal ordering in two dimensions. We investigate the structures of symmetric tilt…
An electrical network with the structure of a random tree is considered: starting from a root vertex, in one iteration each leaf (a vertex with zero or one adjacent edges) of the tree is extended by either a single edge with probability $p$…
We consider a branching random walk with binary state space and index set $T^k$, the infinite rooted tree in which each node has k children (also known as the model of "broadcasting on a tree"). The root of the tree takes a random value 0…
We revisit the problem of broadcasting on $d$-ary trees: starting from a Bernoulli$(1/2)$ random variable $X_0$ at a root vertex, each vertex forwards its value across binary symmetric channels $\mathrm{BSC}_\delta$ to $d$ descendants. The…
Random-matrix theory helps disentangle signal from noise in large data sets. We analyze rectangular $p \times q$ matrices $W = W_0 + M$ in which the noise $M$ generates a Marchenko-Pastur bulk, whereas the signal $W_0$ injects an extensive…
Composite endpoints are frequently used as primary or secondary analyses in cardiovascular clinical trials to increase clinical relevance and statistical efficiency. Alternatively, the Win Ratio (WR) and other Win Statistics (WS) analyses…
We define the Wodzicki Residue TR(A) for A in a space of operators with double order (m_1,m_2). Such operators are globally defined initially on R^n and then, more generally, on a class of non-compact manifolds, namely, the manifolds with…
We consider a family of one-dimensional self interacting walks whose dynamics characterized by a monotone weight function $w$ on $\mathbb{N}\cup \{0\}$. The weight function takes the form $w(n) = (1 + 2^p Bn^{-p} + O(n^{-1-\kappa}))^{-1}$,…
This paper explores hypothesis testing for the parametric forms of the mean and variance functions in regression models under diverging-dimension settings. To mitigate the curse of dimensionality, we introduce weighted residual empirical…
Consider the supercritical branching random walk on the real line in the boundary case and the associated Gibbs measure $\nu_{n,\beta}$ on the $n^\text{th}$ generation, which is also the polymer measure on a disordered tree with inverse…
We investigate some aspects of the problem of the estimation of birth distributions (BD) in multi-type Galton-Watson trees (MGW) with unobserved types. More precisely, we consider two-type MGW called spinal-structured trees. This kind of…
We compute analytically the probability $S(t)$ that a set of $N$ Brownian paths do not cross each other and stay below a moving boundary $g(\tau)= W \sqrt{\tau}$ up to time $t$. We show that for large $t$ it decays as a power law $S(t) \sim…
Variational approximation, such as mean-field (MF) and tree-reweighted (TRW), provide a computationally efficient approximation of the log-partition function for a generic graphical model. TRW provably provides an upper bound, but the…
