Fracture functions are parton distributions of an initial hadron in the presence of an almost collinear particle observed in the final state. They are important ingredients in QCD factorization for processes where a particle is produced…

Sample- and computationally-efficient distribution estimation is a fundamental tenet in statistics and machine learning. We present SURF, an algorithm for approximating distributions by piecewise polynomials. SURF is: simple, replacing…

Factorization machine (FM) variants are widely used for large scale real-time content recommendation systems, since they offer an excellent balance between model accuracy and low computational costs for training and inference. These systems…

The approximate computation of all gravitational forces between $N$ interacting particles via the fast multipole method (FMM) can be made as accurate as direct summation, but requires less than $\mathcal{O}(N)$ operations. FMM groups…

A method for numerical approximation of a new class of fractional parabolic stochastic evolution equations is introduced and analysed. This class of equations has recently been proposed as a space-time extension of the SPDE-method in…

Spatial numerical integration is essential for finite element analysis. Currently, numerical integration schemes, mostly based on Gauss quadrature, are widely used. Herein, we present an alternative semi-analytical approach for mass matrix…

Splitting methods for the numerical integration of differential equations of order greater than two involve necessarily negative coefficients. This order barrier can be overcome by considering complex coefficients with positive real part.…
