In this paper, we consider the inverse problem of detecting a corrosion coefficient between two layers of a conducting medium from the Neumann-to-Dirichlet map. This inverse problem is motivated by the description of the index of corrosion…
Training neural networks under a strict Lipschitz constraint is useful for provable adversarial robustness, generalization bounds, interpretable gradients, and Wasserstein distance estimation. By the composition property of Lipschitz…
We develop a new theory of maximizing sets in dynamical systems, for the study of ergodic optimization in systems with weak hyperbolicity but where the Ma\~n\'e cohomology lemma does not hold. This leads to new solutions of the Typical…
We extend the standard notion of self-concordance to non-convex optimization and develop a family of second-order algorithms with global convergence guarantees. In particular, two function classes -- \textit{weakly self-concordant}…
We show that any smooth bi-Lipschitz $h$ can be represented exactly as a composition $h_m \circ ... \circ h_1$ of functions $h_1,...,h_m$ that are close to the identity in the sense that each $\left(h_i-\mathrm{Id}\right)$ is Lipschitz, and…
It is well-known that the classical PID controller is by far the most widely used ones in industrial processes, despite of the remarkable progresses of the modern control theory over the past half a century. It is also true that the…
We address reinforcement learning problems with finite state and action spaces where the underlying MDP has some known structure that could be potentially exploited to minimize the exploration rates of suboptimal (state, action) pairs. For…
We consider the problem of isotonic regression, where the underlying signal $x$ is assumed to satisfy a monotonicity constraint, that is, $x$ lies in the cone $\{ x\in\mathbb{R}^n : x_1 \leq \dots \leq x_n\}$. We study the isotonic…
This work addresses the design of static output feedback control of discrete-time nonlinear systems satisfying a local Lipschitz continuity condition with time-varying uncertainties. The controller has also a guaranteed disturbance…
We investigate the stochastic optimization problem of minimizing population risk, where the loss defining the risk is assumed to be weakly convex. Compositions of Lipschitz convex functions with smooth maps are the primary examples of such…
Techniques known as Nonlinear Set Membership prediction, Lipschitz Interpolation or Kinky Inference are approaches to machine learning that utilise presupposed Lipschitz properties to compute inferences over unobserved function values.…
Classical conditions for ensuring the robust stability of a linear system in feedback with a sector-bounded nonlinearity include small gain, circle, passivity, and conicity theorems. In this work, we present a similar stability condition,…
We prove that skew systems with a sufficiently expanding base have approximate exponential decay of correlations, meaning that the exponential rate is observed modulo an error. The fiber maps are only assumed to be Lipschitz regular and to…
Let $\mathcal{L}_\epsilon$ be a family of elliptic systems of linear elasticity with rapidly oscillating periodic coefficients. We obtain the uniform $W^{1,p}$ estimate in a Lipschitz domain for solutions to the Dirichlet problem, where…
We prove a Lipschitz extension lemma in which the extension procedure simultaneously preserves the Lipschitz continuity for two non-equivalent distances. The two distances under consideration are the Euclidean distance and, roughly…
Deep Networks have been shown to provide state-of-the-art performance in many machine learning challenges. Unfortunately, they are susceptible to various types of noise, including adversarial attacks and corrupted inputs. In this work we…
We establish uniform Lipschitz estimates for second-order elliptic systems in divergence form with rapidly oscillating, almost-periodic coefficients. We give interior estimates as well as estimates up to the boundary in bounded…
We consider (stochastic) subgradient methods for strongly convex but potentially nonsmooth non-Lipschitz optimization. We provide new equivalent dual descriptions (in the style of dual averaging) for the classic subgradient method, the…
We define "decision swap regret" which generalizes both prediction for downstream swap regret and omniprediction, and give algorithms for obtaining it for arbitrary multi-dimensional Lipschitz loss functions in online adversarial settings.…
This study explores an inertial-based contraction-type approach for addressing monotone variational inclusion problems (in short, MVIP) within real Hilbert spaces. Most contraction-type techniques assume Lipschitz continuity and…
