Spaces of quasi-invariant measures supplied with different topologies are studied. Their embeddings, projective decompositions, conditions for their metrizability are investigated. Theorems about convergence of nets of quasi-invariant…
This is a revised version of the doctoral dissertation of the same title, written under the supervision of Professor Krzysztof Stempak in 2019. For general (possibly nondoubling) metric measure spaces various properties of the associated…
In this paper we propose a method to construct probability measures on the space of convex bodies with a given pushforward distribution. Concretely we show that there is a measure on the metric space of centrally symmetric convex bodies,…
The superiorization methodology is intended to work with input data of constrained minimization problems, i.e., a target function and a constraints set. However, it is based on an antipodal way of thinking to the thinking that leads…
We present a positive solution to the so-called Bernoulli Conjecture concerning the characterization of sample boundedness of Bernoulli processes. We also discuss some applications and related open problems.
We update, specify, review and develop in this article the classical majorizing measures method for investigation of the local structure of random fields, belonging to X.Fernique and M.Talagrand in order to simplify and improve the constant…
We study equivalence, in the context of a variable diffusion problem, between (conforming) mixed methods and (primal) nonconforming methods defined on potentially general polytopal partitions. In this first paper of a series of two, we…
The Nevanlinna parametrization establishes a bijection between the class of all measures having a prescribed set of moments and the class of Pick functions. The fact that all measures constructed through the Nevanlinna parametrization have…
This article introduces exact testing procedures on the mean of a Gaussian process $X$ derived from the outcomes of $\ell_1$-minimization over the space of complex valued measures. The process $X$ can be thought as the sum of two terms:…
A generalization of metric space is presented which is shown to admit a theory strongly related to that of ordinary metric spaces. To avoid the topological effects related to dropping any of the axioms of metric space, first a new, and…
Majorization-minimization schemes are a broad class of iterative methods targeting general optimization problems, including nonconvex, nonsmooth and stochastic. These algorithms minimize successively a sequence of upper bounds of the…
The minimization of a nonconvex composite function can model a variety of imaging tasks. A popular class of algorithms for solving such problems are majorization-minimization techniques which iteratively approximate the composite nonconvex…
In this paper, we prove a structure theorem for the infinite union of $n$-adic doubling measures via techniques which involve far numbers. Our approach extends the results of Wu in 1998, and as a by product, we also prove a classification…
In this paper, we explore the algebraic and geometric structures that arise from a procedure we dub "gauging the gauge", which involves the promotion of a certain global, coordinate independent symmetry to a local one. By gauging the global…
This is an overview about a method of constructing ccc forcings: Suppose first that a continuous, commutative system of complete embeddings between countable forcings indexed along $\omega_1$ is given. Then its direct limit satisfies ccc by…
Trace monoids and heaps of pieces appear in various contexts in combinatorics. They also constitute a model used in computer science to describe the executions of asynchronous systems. The design of a natural probabilistic layer on top of…
Majorization-minimization algorithms consist of successively minimizing a sequence of upper bounds of the objective function. These upper bounds are tight at the current estimate, and each iteration monotonically drives the objective…
In this article, we analyze three classes of time-reversal of a Markov process with Gaussian noise on a manifold. We first unveil a commutativity constraint for the most general of these time-reversals to be well defined. Then we give a…
This paper deals with three major types of convergence of probability measures on metric spaces: weak convergence, setwise converges, and convergence in the total variation. First, it describes and compares necessary and sufficient…
For a given measure space $(X,{\mathscr B},\mu)$ we construct all measure spaces $(Y,{\mathscr C},\lambda)$ in which $(X,{\mathscr B},\mu)$ is embeddable. The construction is modeled on the ultrafilter construction of the Stone--\v{C}ech…
