Multiparametric statistical model providing stable reconstruction of parameters by observations is considered. The only general method of this kind is the root model based on the representation of the probability density as a squared…
The resonance states of one- and two-particle Hamiltonians are studied using variational expansions with real basis-set functions. The resonance energies, $E_r$, and widths, $\Gamma$, are calculated using the density of states and an…
We introduce a new approach to highly correlated systems which generalizes the Fermi Hypernetted Chain and Correlated Basis Function techniques. While the latter approaches can only be applied to systems for which a nonrelativistic wave…
The Energy-Dissipation Principle provides a variational tool for the analysis of parabolic evolution problems: solutions are characterized as so-called null-minimizers of a global functional on entire trajectories. This variational…
On the basis of the author's earlier results, a new source function for a numerical wind-wave model optimized by the criterion of accuracy and speed of calculation is substantiated. The proposed source function includes (a) an optimized…
The Frisch-Parisi multifractal formalism remains the most compelling rationalisation for anomalous scaling in fully developed turbulence. We now show that this formalism can be adapted locally to reveal the spatial distribution of…
We develop a framework for generalized variational inference in infinite-dimensional function spaces and use it to construct a method termed Gaussian Wasserstein inference (GWI). GWI leverages the Wasserstein distance between Gaussian…

A signature of the dark energy equation of state may be observed in the shape of voids. We estimate the constraints on cosmological parameters that would be determined from the ellipticity distribution of voids from future spectroscopic…
We present a variational formulation of Time-Dependent Density Functional Theory similar to the constrained-search variational formulation of ground-state density-function theory. The formulation is applied to justify the time-dependent…
Fully coherent searches (over realistic ranges of parameter space and year-long observation times) for unknown sources of continuous gravitational waves are computationally prohibitive. Less expensive hierarchical searches divide the data…
In solid-state physics, energies of crystals are usually computed with a plane-wave discretization of Kohn-Sham equations. However the presence of Coulomb singularities requires the use of large plane-wave cut-offs to produce accurate…
Consider a quantum system $S$ weakly interacting with a very large but finite system $B$ called the heat bath, and suppose that the composite $S\cup B$ is in a pure state $\Psi$ with participating energies between $E$ and $E+\delta$ with…
We explore the use in quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) of trial wave functions consisting of a Jastrow factor multiplied by a truncated configuration-interaction (CI) expansion in Slater determinants obtained from a CI perturbatively selected…
It is shown for two electron atoms that ground-state wavefunctions of the form \begin{equation} \Psi(\vec{r_{1}}, \vec{r_{2}})=\phi(\vec{r_{1}})\phi(\vec{r_{2}})(\cosh ar_{1}+\cosh ar_{2})(1+0.5 r_{12}e^{-b r_{12}}) \end{equation} where…
A canonical formalism and constraint analysis for discrete systems subject to a variational action principle are devised. The formalism is equivalent to the covariant formulation, encompasses global and local discrete time evolution moves…
We consider a proposal to define the wave function of the Universe as a sum over spacetimes that eventually inflate. In the minisuperspace model, we explicitly show that a simple family of initial conditions, parametrized by a positive real…

Representing a target quantum state by a compact, efficient variational wave-function is an important approach to the quantum many-body problem. In this approach, the main challenges include the design of a suitable variational ansatz and…
