Anomalous diffusion is a phenomenon that cannot be modeled accurately by second-order diffusion equations, but is better described by fractional diffusion models. The nonlocal nature of the fractional diffusion operators makes substantially…

Many causal and structural parameters in economics can be identified and estimated by computing the value of an optimization program over all distributions consistent with the model and the data. Existing tools apply when the data is…

This paper shows how to build a formal analytical solution for a differential equation of arbitrary order and with variable coefficients. It proofs that the most known approximated solutions for such a problem can be derived from the…

Finite differences, as a subclass of direct methods in the calculus of variations, consist in discretizing the objective functional using appropriate approximations for derivatives that appear in the problem. This article generalizes the…

In the present work, a multi-scale framework for neural network enhanced methods is proposed for approximation of function and solution of partial differential equations (PDEs). By introducing the multi-scale concept, the total solution of…

Peak estimation of hybrid systems aims to upper bound extreme values of a state function along trajectories, where this state function could be different in each subsystem. This finite-dimensional but nonconvex problem may be lifted into an…

Optimal transport distances have become a classic tool to compare probability distributions and have found many applications in machine learning. Yet, despite recent algorithmic developments, their complexity prevents their direct use on…

This paper addresses the challenging numerical simulation of nonlinear hybrid stochastic functional differential equations with infinite delays. We first propose an explicit scheme using space and time truncation, requiring only finite…

This paper seeks to solve the long-term transmission expansion planning problem more effectively by reducing the solution search space and the computational effort. The proposed methodology finds and adds cutting planes based on structural…

We study the fundamental computational problem of approximating optimal transport (OT) equations using neural differential equations (Neural ODEs). More specifically, we develop a novel framework for approximating unbalanced optimal…

We study the optimization version of the set partition problem (where the difference between the partition sums are minimized), which has numerous applications in decision theory literature. While the set partitioning problem is NP-hard and…

Optimal prediction methods compensate for a lack of resolution in the numerical solution of time-dependent differential equations through the use of prior statistical information. We present a new derivation of the basic methodology, show…

The goal of these notes is to provide an introduction to rough partial differential equations. For this purpose, we will present the theory of rough paths to the extend as it is required. Applications to stochastic partial differential…

A common approach for minimizing a smooth nonlinear function is to employ finite-difference approximations to the gradient. While this can be easily performed when no error is present within the function evaluations, when the function is…

We study a generalization of the multi-marginal optimal transport problem, which has no fixed number of marginals $N$ and is inspired of statistical mechanics. It consists in optimizing a linear combination of the costs for all the possible…

Semi-Lagrangian (SL) schemes are known as a major numerical tool for solving transport equations with many advantages and have been widely deployed in the fields of computational fluid dynamics, plasma physics modeling, numerical weather…

A splitting scheme for backward doubly stochastic differential equations is proposed. The main idea is to decompose a backward doubly stochastic differential equation into a backward stochastic differential equation and a stochastic…

We survey key techniques and results from approximation theory in the context of uniform approximations to real functions such as e^{-x}, 1/x, and x^k. We then present a selection of results demonstrating how such approximations can be used…

This paper deals with fractional differential equations, with dependence on a Caputo fractional derivative of real order. The goal is to show, based on concrete examples and experimental data from several experiments, that fractional…

Recent advances in large-scale optimal transport have greatly extended its application scenarios in machine learning. However, existing methods either not explicitly learn the transport map or do not support general cost function. In this…
