In this paper, we study the optimal time decay rates for the higher order spatial derivatives of solutions to a diffusive Oldroyd-B model. As pointed out in the Section 1.2 of Huang-Wang-Wen-Zi (J. Differential Equations 306: 456-491,…

The estimation of an f-divergence between two probability distributions based on samples is a fundamental problem in statistics and machine learning. Most works study this problem under very weak assumptions, in which case it is provably…
