The Cholesky decomposition is a fundamental tool for solving linear systems with symmetric and positive definite matrices which are ubiquitous in linear algebra, optimization, and machine learning. Its numerical stability can be improved by…

Loosely speaking, the Shannon entropy rate is used to gauge a stochastic process' intrinsic randomness; the statistical complexity gives the cost of predicting the process. We calculate, for the first time, the entropy rate and statistical…

We develop randomized matrix-free algorithms for estimating partial traces, a generalization of the trace arising in quantum physics and chemistry. Our algorithm improves on the typicality-based approach used in [T. Chen and Y-C. Cheng,…

The loss and the norm of its gradient separate the healthy and the pathological regimes of neural-network training only weakly, whilst the curvature of the empirical risk differs qualitatively between them but is inaccessible explicitly at…

We develop a new approximative estimation method for conditional Shapley values obtained using a linear regression model. We develop a new estimation method and outperform existing methodology and implementations. Compared to the sequential…

Harvey et al. (2010) extended the Bayesian estimation method by Sahu et al. (2003) to a multivariate skew-elliptical distribution with a general skewness matrix, and applied it to Bayesian portfolio optimization with higher moments.…

We investigate the problem of numerical differentiation of bivariate functions from weighted Wiener classes using Chebyshev polynomial expansions. We develop and analyze a new version of the truncation method based on Chebyshev polynomials…

Many large-scale stochastic optimization algorithms involve repeated solutions of linear systems or evaluations of log-determinants. In these regimes, computing exact solutions is often unnecessary; it is more computationally efficient to…

In this work, we present a new way to compute the Taylor polynomial of the matrix exponential which reduces the number of matrix multiplications in comparison with the de-facto standard Patterson-Stockmeyer method. This reduction is…

We introduce a new method for estimating the support size of an unknown distribution which provably matches the performance bounds of the state-of-the-art techniques in the area and outperforms them in practice. In particular, we present…

Pipelined Krylov methods seek to ameliorate the latency due to inner products necessary for projection by overlapping it with the computation associated with sparse matrix-vector multiplication. We clarify a folk theorem that this can only…

For stochastic implicit Taylor methods that use an iterative scheme to compute their numerical solution, stochastic B--series and corresponding growth functions are constructed. From these, convergence results based on the order of the…

Stochastic processes find applications in modelling systems in a variety of disciplines. A large number of stochastic models considered are Markovian in nature. It is often observed that higher order Markov processes can model the data…

Consider estimating the n by p matrix of means of an n by p matrix of independent normally distributed observations with constant variance, where the performance of an estimator is judged using a p by p matrix quadratic error loss function.…

Iterative methods for the simultaneous determination of all roots of an equation are dis-cussed. The multiplicities of the roots are assumed to be known in advance. The methods are proved to have a cubical rate of convergence. Numerical…

It is well known that matrices with low Hessenberg-structured displacement rank enjoy fast algorithms for certain matrix factorizations. We show how $n\times n$ principal finite sections of the Gram matrix for the orthogonal polynomial…

At high levels, the asymptotic distribution of a stationary, regularly varying Markov chain is conveniently given by its tail process. The latter takes the form of a geometric random walk, the increment distribution depending on the sign of…

Many privacy-type properties of security protocols can be modelled using trace equivalence properties in suitable process algebras. It has been shown that such properties can be decided for interesting classes of finite processes (i.e.,…

We establish how the coefficients of a sparse polynomial system influence the sum (or the trace) of its zeros. As an application, we develop numerical tests for verifying whether a set of solutions to a sparse system is complete. These…

This paper describes a fast algorithm for transforming Legendre coefficients into Chebyshev coefficients, and vice versa. The algorithm is based on the fast multipole method and is similar to the approach described by Alpert and Rokhlin…
