A critical review is presented on the most recent attempt to generally explain the notion of "statistical symmetry". This particular explanation, however, is incomplete and misses one important and essential aspect. The aim of this short…
This set of notes re-proves known results on weighted automata (over a field, also known as multiplicity automata). The text offers a unified view on theorems and proofs that have appeared in the literature over decades and were written in…
We propose an overview of optimal transport theory and its applications to econometric methodology. This review is specifically designed for practitioners, be they econometric theorists or applied econometricians. The review of applications…
A method is proposed for constraining the Galactic gravitational potential from high precision observations of the phase space coordinates of a system of relaxed tracers. The method relies on an "ergodic" assumption that the observations…
Although a number of solutions exist for the problems of coverage, search and target localization---commonly addressed separately---whether there exists a unified strategy that addresses these objectives in a coherent manner without being…
The rapid advances in the field of optimization methods in many pure and applied science pose the difficulty of keeping track of the developments as well as selecting an appropriate technique that best suits the problem in-hand. From a…
We consider networks of finite-state machines having local transitions conditioned by the current state of other automata. In this paper, we depict a reduction procedure tailored for a given reachability property of the form ``from global…
Recently, ergodic control has been suggested as a means to guide mobile sensors for information gathering tasks. In ergodic control, a mobile sensor follows a trajectory that is ergodic with respect to some information density distribution.…
This monograph aims at providing an introduction to key concepts, algorithms, and theoretical results in machine learning. The treatment concentrates on probabilistic models for supervised and unsupervised learning problems. It introduces…
We present a systematic approach to construct complete equations of state (EOSs), or to ensure thermodynamic consistency of complete and incomplete forms of EOSs using a minimal and sufficient set of relations. We apply the proposed…
This article provides a selective review on the recent literature on econometric models of network formation. The survey starts with a brief exposition on basic concepts and tools for the statistical description of networks. I then offer a…
This paper is a survey of applications of the theory of algorithmic randomness to ergodic theory. We establish various degrees of constructivity for asymptotic laws of probability theory. In the framework of the Kolmogorov approach to the…
We study almost sure limiting behavior of extreme and intermediate order statistics arising from strictly stationary sequences. First, we provide sufficient dependence conditions under which these order statistics converges almost surely to…
We consider Langevin dynamics associated with a modified kinetic energy vanishing for small momenta. This allows us to freeze slow particles, and hence avoid the re-computation of inter-particle forces, which leads to computational gains.…
For a topological dynamical system we characterize the decomposition of the state space induced by the fixed space of the corresponding Koopman operator. For this purpose, we introduce a hierarchy of generalized orbits and obtain the finest…
Random embeddings project high-dimensional spaces to low-dimensional ones; they are careful constructions which allow the approximate preservation of key properties, such as the pair-wise distances between points. Often in the field of…
These expository notes address certain stationary and ergodic properties of the equations of fluid dynamics subject to a spatially degenerate (i.e. frequency localized), white in time gaussian forcing. In order to provide an accessible…
Ordinary differential equations (ODEs) are the primary means to modelling dynamical systems in many natural and engineering sciences. The number of equations required to describe a system with high heterogeneity limits our capability of…
In this note, we investigate the convergence of a $U$-statistic of order two having stationary ergodic data. We will find sufficient conditions for the almost sure and $L^1$ convergence and present some counter-examples showing that the…
We present a survey of ergodic theorems for actions of algebraic and arithmetic groups recently established by the authors, as well as some of their applications. Our approach is based on spectral methods employing the unitary…
