Two-parameter sums signatures and corresponding quasisymmetric functions

Combinatorics 2024-10-10 v3

Abstract

Quasisymmetric functions have recently been used in time series analysis as polynomial features that are invariant under, so-called, dynamic time warping. We extend this notion to data indexed by two parameters and thus provide warping invariants for images. We show that two-parameter quasisymmetric functions are complete in a certain sense, and provide a two-parameter quasi-shuffle identity. A compatible coproduct is based on diagonal concatenation of the input data, leading to a (weak) form of Chen's identity.
