Empirical Variance Minimization with Applications in Variance Reduction and Optimal Control
Bernoulli: a journal of mathematical statistics and probability. 2022. Vol. 28. No. 2. P. 1382–1407.
We study the problem of empirical minimization for variance-type functionals over functional classes. Sharp non-asymptotic bounds for the excess variance are derived under mild conditions. In particular, it is shown that under some restrictions imposed on the functional class fast convergence rates can be achieved including the optimal non-parametric rates for expressive classes in the non-Donsker regime under some additional assumptions. Our main applications include variance reduction and optimal control.

Рассматривается клеточное разбиение пространства модулей вещественных кривых рода 2 с отмеченной точкой на единственном вещественном овале. Клетки перечисляются определенными графами, веса которых описывают комплексную структуру на кривой. Показано, что стягивание ребра графа приводит к корневой особенности естественного отображения из весов графа в пространство модулей кривых. ...

Уравнение Пелля-Абеля — это функциональное уравнение вида P²-DQ² = 1, с заданным многочленом D, свободным от квадратов, и неизвестными многочленами P и Q. Мы показываем, что пространство уравнений Пелля-Абеля с фиксированными степенями D и примитивным решением P является комплексным многообразием. Мы описываем его связные компоненты с помощью эффективно вычислимого инварианта. ...

The best uniform rational approximation of the Sign function on two intervals separated by zero was explicitly found by E. I. Zolotarëv in 1877. The natural extension of this problem to three bands was solved by E. Stiefel in 1961. We indicate the solutions overlooked by the prominent geometer and study their properties. ...

A Pell–Abel equation is a functional equation of the form P^2-DQ^2=1 , with a given polynomial D free of squares and unknown polynomials P and Q. We show that the space of Pell–Abel equations with the degrees of D and of the primitive solution P fixed is a complex manifold. We describe its connected components ...

The integration of data-driven and knowledge-driven approaches in generative geospatial modelling (GGM) is often hindered by their mathematical incompatibilities. Here, we propose a geometric algebra (GA)-based framework that employs a unified multi-vector representation to fuse heterogeneous data and diverse knowledge. The framework facilitates structured reasoning and hypothesis generation through a task-adaptable, five-stage cycle: representation, reasoning, ...

EEG recordings are often affected by the loss or corruption of individual channels due to electrode detachment, poor scalp contact, or external interference. Such channels must be accurately reconstructed before further analysis. In this study, we investigate Next-Generation Reservoir Computing (NG-RC) as a data-driven approach for reconstructing corrupted EEG channels and compare its performance with ...

We show that, in terms of closure ordinals, many infinitary calculi for ‘first-order’ logics of probability (i.e., for languages similar to those in [Abadi & Halpern 1994]) are as hard as possible: the corresponding closure ordinals coincide with the least non-constructive ordinal, denoted by $\omega_1^{\mathrm{CK}}$. ...

Biometric vein recognition systems are vulnerable to presentation attacks. Traditionally, researchers have used a near-infrared (NIR) drawing of the user’s vascular bed to create a presentation attack instrument (PAI). This paper investigates the feasibility of using free software to capture a venous pattern of the hand without NIR under normal lighting conditions and to create ...

Large distributed sensor arrays require repeated recalibration as radiation damage, material aging, gain variation, and readout drift alter channel responses. We studied a high-granularity calorimeter as a large sensor array and addressed unsupervised recalibration from two unpaired datasets: a nominal reference response and an aged response with attenuated cell-wise signals. Aging was modeled by a ...

The notion of λ-th upper scrambling index was introduced by Huang and Liu in 2010, as a generalization of a notion considered by Akelbek and Kirkland in 2009. For a primitive digraph D, it is defined as the smallest positive integer k such that for every λ vertices of D there exist directed paths of lengths k from these vertices to a common vertex. This ...

Introduced by Goulden and Jackson in their 1996 paper, the matchings-Jack conjecture and the hypermap-Jack conjecture (also known as the b-conjecture) are two major open questions relating Jack symmetric functions, the representation theory of the symmetric groups and combinatorial maps. They show that the coefficients in the power sum expansion of some Cauchy sum for ...

Knowledge graphs are widely used in Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) and Explainable AI (XAI), since they can illustrate semantic relationships generated by Large Language Models (LLMs). Recent studies focus on generating knowledge graphs from unstructured data to improve RAG performance; however, they do not explain the underlying graph structure. The analysis of synthetic graphs behind ...

Hyperbolic hypergeometric integrals are defined as Barnes-type integrals of products of hyperbolic gamma functions. Their reduction to ordinary hypergeometric functions is well known. We study in detail their degeneration to complex hypergeometric functions. Namely, using uniform bounds on the integrands, we prove that the univariate hyperbolic beta integral and the conical function degenerate to two-dimensional ...

Zermelo's navigation problem seeks the trajectory of minimal travel time between two points in a fluid flow. We address this problem for an agent -- such as a floating drone or active particle -- that is advected by a two-dimensional flow, self-propels at a fixed speed smaller than or comparable to the characteristic flow velocity, ...
