We show that under minimal assumptions, the intrinsic metric induced by a strongly local Dirichlet form induces a length space. A main input is a dual characterization of length spaces in terms of the property that the 1-Lipschitz functions…

We study identifiability of the parameters in autoregressions defined on a network. Most identification conditions that are available for these models either rely on the network being observed repeatedly, are only sufficient, or require…

We introduce a novel prior distribution for modelling the weights in mixture models based on a generalisation of the Dirichlet distribution, the Selberg Dirichlet distribution. This distribution contains a repulsive term, which naturally…

We use a diffuse interface method for solving Poisson's equation with a Dirichlet condition on an embedded curved interface. The resulting diffuse interface problem is identified as a standard Dirichlet problem on approximating regular…

Dirichlet process mixture models (DPMM) play a central role in Bayesian nonparametrics, with applications throughout statistics and machine learning. DPMMs are generally used in clustering problems where the number of clusters is not known…

We derive necessary density conditions for sampling and for interpolation in general reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces satisfying some natural conditions on the geometry of the space and the reproducing kernel. If the volume of shells is…

On the space $\mathcal{L}_{n+1}$ of unimodular lattices in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$, we consider the standard action of $a(t)=\mathrm{diag}(t^n,t^{-1},\ldots,t^{-1})\in \mathrm{SL}(n+1,\mathbb{R})$ for $t>1$. Let $M$ be a nondegenerate…

We study the Dirichlet problem for fully nonlinear, degenerate elliptic equations of the form f(Hess, u)=0 on a smoothly bounded domain D in R^n. In our approach the equation is replaced by a subset F of the space of symmetric nxn-matrices,…
