This paper is concerned with the problem of determining whether a projective-equivalence class of sprays is the geodesic class of a Finsler function. We address both the local and the global aspects of this problem. We present our results…

Estimation of density functions supported on general domains arises when the data is naturally restricted to a proper subset of the real space. This problem is complicated by typically intractable normalizing constants. Score matching…

While norm-based and leverage-score-based methods have been extensively studied for identifying "important" data points in linear models, analogous tools for nonlinear models remain significantly underdeveloped. By introducing the concept…

Paradigms of bilinear maps f between locally convex spaces (like evaluation or composition) are not continuous, but merely hypocontinuous. We describe situations where, nonetheless, compositions of f with Keller C^n_c-maps (on suitable…
