We establish new conditions for obtaining uniform bounds on the moments of discrete-time stochastic processes. Our results require a weak negative drift criterion along with a state-dependent restriction on the sizes of the one-step jumps…
We study the stability properties of linear time-varying systems in continuous time whose system matrix is Metzler with zero row sums. This class of systems arises naturally in the context of distributed decision problems, coordination and…
We consider the problem of reconstructing an infinite set of sparse, finite-dimensional vectors, that share a common sparsity pattern, from incomplete measurements. This is in contrast to the work [17], where the single vector signal can be…
We develop a product-level trace-Dobrushin theory for finite-dimensional quantum channel products and apply it to deterministic and stationary random inhomogeneous matrix product states in left-canonical CPTP gauge. For a product of…
In this work we deal with the stochastic homogenization of the initial boundary value problems of monotone type. The models of monotone type under consideration describe the deformation behaviour of inelastic materials with a microstructure…
Motivated by constructions from applied topology, there has been recent interest in the homological algebra of linear representations of posets, particularly in the context of homological algebra relative to non-standard exact structures. A…
This paper introduces several new algorithms for consensus over the special orthogonal group. By relying on a convex relaxation of the space of rotation matrices, consensus over rotation elements is reduced to solving a convex problem with…
We study dynamical reversibility in stationary stochastic processes from an information theoretic perspective. Extending earlier work on the reversibility of Markov chains, we focus on finitary processes with arbitrarily long conditional…
Symmetries are ubiquitous in network systems and have profound impacts on the observable dynamics. At the most fundamental level, many synchronization patterns are induced by underlying network symmetry, and a high degree of symmetry is…
We consider stochastic differential equations in a Hilbert space, perturbed by the gradient of a convex potential. We investigate the problem of convergence of a sequence of such processes. We propose applications of this method to…
The purpose of this paper is to study the dynamical behavior of the sequence produced by a forward-backward algorithm involving two random maximal monotone operators and a sequence of decreasing step sizes. Defining a mean monotone operator…
We establish that if a sequence of spaces equipped with resistance metrics and measures converge with respect to the Gromov-Hausdorff-vague topology, and a certain non-explosion condition is satisfied, then the associated stochastic…
The non-consensus problems of high order linear time-invariant dynamical homogeneous multi-agent systems are concerned. Based on the conditions of consensus achievement, the mechanisms that lead to non-consensus motions are analyzed.…
We introduce a random matrix model where the entries are dependent across both rows and columns. More precisely, we investigate matrices of the form $\X=(X_{(i-1)n+t})_{it}\in\R^{p\times n}$ derived from a linear process $X_t=\sum_j c_j…
There has been significant progress recently in our understanding of the stationary measures of the exclusion process on $Z$. The corresponding situation in higher dimensions remains largely a mystery. In this paper we give necessary and…
The inverse-scattering problem of an inhomogeneous material has been of interest for many years, and was generally addressed with various optimization techniques. In this paper, we suggest an optimization-free method for solving the…
Entrywise powers of symmetric matrices preserving positivity, monotonicity or convexity with respect to the Loewner ordering arise in various applications, and have received much attention recently in the literature. Following FitzGerald…
Suppose $\{ X_k \}_{k \in \mathbb{Z}}$ is a sequence of bounded independent random matrices with common dimension $d\times d$ and common expectation $\mathbb{E}[ X_k ]= X$. Under these general assumptions, the normalized random matrix…
In this paper, we characterize data-time tradeoffs of the proximal-gradient homotopy method used for solving linear inverse problems under sub-Gaussian measurements. Our results are sharp up to an absolute constant factor. We demonstrate…
This note is concerned with lower tail estimates for product measures. Some improved deviation inequalities are obtained for functions satisfying some regularity and monotonicity assumptions. The arguments are based on semigroup…
