While sensitivity analysis improves the transparency and reliability of mathematical models, its uptake by modelers is still scarce. This is partially explained by its technical requirements, which may be hard to understand and implement by…
The choice of the parameter value for regularized inverse problems is critical to the results and remains a topic of interest. This article explores a criterion for selecting a good parameter value by maximizing the probability of the data,…
Controlling the parameters' norm often yields good generalisation when training neural networks. Beyond simple intuitions, the relation between regularising parameters' norm and obtained estimators remains theoretically misunderstood. For…
Consistency is the theoretical property of a meta learning algorithm that ensures that, under certain assumptions, it can adapt to any task at test time. An open question is whether and how theoretical consistency translates into practice,…
This study presents an abelian group approach to analyzing inconsistency in pairwise comparisons. However, it wrongly assumes that an inconsistency indicator can take values in any abelian linearly ordered group. The followup publication…
Nonlinearity in many systems is heavily dependent on component variation and environmental factors such as temperature. This is often overcome by keeping signals close enough to the device's operating point that it appears approximately…
A variational principle is proposed for obtaining the Jacobi equations in systems admitting a Lagrangian description. The variational principle gives simultaneously the Lagrange equations of motion and the Jacobi variational equations for…
The choice of a point set, to be used in numerical integration, determines, to a large extent, the error estimate of the integral. Point sets can be characterized by their discrepancy, which is a measure of its non-uniformity. Point sets…
Linearizability has become the key correctness criterion for concurrent data structures, ensuring that histories of the concurrent object under consideration are consistent, where consistency is judged with respect to a sequential history…
We study the choice of the regularisation parameter for linear ill-posed problems in the presence of data noise and operator perturbations, for which a bound on the operator error is known but the data noise-level is unknown. We introduce a…
A common problem in data analysis is that the functional form, as well as the parameter values, of the underlying model which should describe a dataset is not known a priori. In these cases some extra uncertainty must be assigned to the…
Regularization is a core component of modern inverse problems, as it helps establish the well-posedness of the solution of interest. Popular regularization approaches include variational regularization and iterative regularization. The…
Conformal predictors provide set or functional predictions that are valid under the assumption of randomness, i.e., under the assumption of independent and identically distributed data. The question asked in this paper is whether there are…
We study generic holomorphic families of dynamical systems presenting problems of small divisors with fixed arithmetic. We prove that we have convergence for all parameter values or divergence everywhere except for an exceptional set in the…
We extend the invariance principle for a characteristic function of a dissipative operator with respect to the group of affine transformations of the real axis preserving the orientation to the case of general $SL_2(\bbR)$ transformations.
Variational principles play a fundamental role in deriving evolution equations of physics. They are working well in case of nondissipative evolution but for dissipative systems they are not unique, not predictive and not constructive. With…
For a very general class of unbounded self-adjoint operator function we prove upper bounds for eigenvalues which lie within arbitrary gaps of the essential spectrum. These upper bounds are given by triple variations. Furthermore, we find…
We develop new discrete uncertainty principles in terms of numerical sparsity, which is a continuous proxy for the 0-norm. Unlike traditional sparsity, the continuity of numerical sparsity naturally accommodates functions which are nearly…
Based on the principle of causality, I advance a new principle of variation and try to use it as the most general principle for research into laws of nature.
This paper discusses a general and useful stability principle which, roughly speaking, says that given a uniformly continuous function defined on an arbitrary metric space, if the function is bounded on the constraint set and we slightly…
