Let $M$ be an $n$-dimensional complex manifold. A holomorphic function $f:M\to \mathbb C$ is said to be semi-Bloch if for every $\lambda\in \mathbb C$ the function $g_\lambda=\exp(\lambda f(z))$ is normal on $M$. We characterise Semi-Bloch…

Gaussian process (GP) regression is a powerful probabilistic modeling technique with built-in uncertainty quantification. When one has access to multiple correlated simulations (tasks), it is common to fit a multitask GP (MTGP) surrogate…

Digital technologies can be used to gather accurate information about the behavior of structural components for improving systems design, as well as for enabling advanced Structural Health Monitoring strategies. New avenues for achieving…

Given a closed Riemannian manifold M and a (virtual) epimorphism from the fundamental group of M onto a free group of rank 2, we construct a tower of finite sheeted regular covers {M_n}_{n=0}^{\infty} of M such that the first non-zero…

Learning a Gaussian mixture model (GMM) is a fundamental problem in machine learning, learning theory, and statistics. One notion of learning a GMM is proper learning: here, the goal is to find a mixture of $k$ Gaussians $\mathcal{M}$ that…

This paper studies large-scale optimization problems on Riemannian manifolds whose objective function is a finite sum of negative log-probability losses. Such problems arise in various machine learning and signal processing applications. By…

Existing value function approximation methods have been successfully used in many applications, but they often lack useful a priori error bounds. We propose a new approximate bilinear programming formulation of value function approximation,…

In learning theory, a standard assumption is that the data is generated from a finite mixture model. But what happens when the number of components is not known in advance? The problem of estimating the number of components, also called…

The problem of combined state and input estimation of linear structural systems based on measured responses and a priori knowledge of structural model is considered. A novel methodology using Gaussian process latent force models is proposed…

Let us assume that $f$ is a continuous function defined on the unit ball of $\mathbb R^d$, of the form $f(x) = g (A x)$, where $A$ is a $k \times d$ matrix and $g$ is a function of $k$ variables for $k \ll d$. We are given a budget $m \in…

This work is concerned with the rigorous analysis on the Generalized Multiscale Finite Element Methods (GMsFEMs) for elliptic problems with high-contrast heterogeneous coefficients. GMsFEMs are popular numerical methods for solving flow…

Robust statistics traditionally focuses on outliers, or perturbations in total variation distance. However, a dataset could be corrupted in many other ways, such as systematic measurement errors and missing covariates. We generalize the…

Functionally Graded Materials (FGMs) made of soft constituents have emerged as promising material-structure systems in potential applications across many engineering disciplines, such as soft robots, actuators, energy harvesting, and tissue…

The scalar-on-function regression model has become a popular analysis tool to explore the relationship between a scalar response and multiple functional predictors. Most of the existing approaches to estimate this model are based on the…

In fluid flow simulation, the multi-continuum model is a useful strategy. When the heterogeneity and contrast of coefficients are high, the system becomes multiscale, and some kinds of reduced-order methods are demanded. Combining these…

The rigorous stability analysis of high-order implicit-explicit multistep (IEMS) methods for nonlinear parabolic equations by using discrete energy arguments is a long standing open issue due to their non-A-stable property. A novel…

We study continuous (strongly) minimal cut generating functions for the model where all variables are integer. We consider both the original Gomory-Johnson setting as well as a recent extension by Cornu\'ejols and Y{\i}ld{\i}z. We show that…

In this work, we introduce a unifying Bregman-based majorization-minimization (MM) framework for solving nonconvex nonsmooth optimization problems. The proposed approach leverages Bregman divergences, possibly varying across iterations, to…

We analyze the problem of global reconstruction of functions as accurately as possible, based on partial information in the form of a truncated power series at some point, and additional analyticity properties. This situation occurs…

Non-convex optimization is ubiquitous in machine learning. Majorization-Minimization (MM) is a powerful iterative procedure for optimizing non-convex functions that works by optimizing a sequence of bounds on the function. In MM, the bound…
