Gaussian limit theorem for posterior distribution in the problem of conflicting expert opinions

Mathematical Communications. 2023. Vol. 28. No. 2. P. 203–212.
Kasianova K., Kelbert M.

. Suppose we have n experts who have their prior opinions about the unknown probability q in the experiment with a binary outcome. It is known that expert opinions are in conflict with each other. To model “conflicting” expert opinions a prior distribution based on Selberg’s integral is constructed. We prove a theorem regarding the limiting properties of the posterior distribution. Also, differential entropy and the Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence of such posterior are studied.

Игры на сетях с линейным наилучшим ответом: модели и методы управления
Petrov I., Автоматика и телемеханика 2026 № 6 С. 82–118
Системам связанных агентов и сетевому управлению посвящено большое число отечественных и зарубежных исследований. Исторически, наибольший интерес в теории управления возникал к усредняющим системам и, в частности, к задаче консенсуса. Однако сетевое взаимодействие может характеризоваться более специфическими функциями, отражающими зависимость от действий соседей по сети, что особенно явно проявляется в моделях стратегического взаимодействия на сети, которое ...

A two-point phase recovering from holographic data on a single plane
Novikov R., Sivkin V., Inverse Problems 2026 Vol. 42 No. 4 Article 045009
We consider a plane wave, a radiation solution, and the sum of these solutions (total solution) for the Helmholtz equation in an exterior region in Rd, d ⩾ 2. In this region, we consider a hyperplane X with sufficiently large distance s from the origin in Rd. We give two-point local formulas for approximate recovering the radiation ...

Multivariate Newton interpolation in downward closed spaces reaches the optimal Bernstein–Walsh approximation rate
Hecht M., Hofmann P., Wicaksono D. et al., IMA Journal of Numerical Analysis 2026 Vol. 00 P. 1–30
Recent advances in Bernstein—Walsh theory have extended Bernstein’s Theorem to multiple dimensions, stating that a multivariate function can be approximated with a geometric rate in a downward-closed polynomial space if and only if it is analytic in a generalized Bernstein polyellipse. To compute approximations of this class of functions—which we term Bos–Levenberg–Trefethen–(BLT) functions—we extend the ...

Weighted Chernoff Information and Optimal Loss Exponent in Context-Sensitive Hypothesis Testing
Kelbert M., Kalimulina E. Y., Entropy 2026 Vol. 28 Article 536
We study binary hypothesis testing for i.i.d. observations under a multiplicative context weight. For the optimal weighted total loss, defined as the sum of weighted type-I and typeII losses, we prove the logarithmic asymptotic L∗n = exp{−nDwC (P,Q) + o(n)}, n →∞, where Dw C is the weighted Chernoff information. The single-letter form of the exponent relies on ...

We prove equivalence of two integral representations for the wave functions of hyperbolic Calogero–Sutherland system. For this we study two families of Baxter operators related to hyperbolic Calogero–Sutherland and rational Ruijsenaars models; the first one as a limit from hyperbolic Ruijsenaars system, while the second one independently. Besides, computing asymptotics of integral representations and also ...

Hodge Laplacian Eigenvalues on Surfaces with Boundary

On Undecidability Degree of Theory of Figures in Countable and Uncountable Linear Spaces
Dudakov S., Lobachevskii Journal of Mathematics 2025 Vol. 46 No. 12 P. 6092–6102
We study the additive theory of arbitrary figures in linear spaces, that is, the theory of addition extended to sets of vectors. Our main result is the following: if a linear space is infinite, then the additive theory of figures admits interpreting second-order arithmetic and, therefore, it has such or higher degree of undecidability. For countably infinite spaces, ...

Taletskii D., / Series arXiv "math". 2026.
A vertex subset of a graph is called a \textit{distance-$k$ independent set} if the distance between any two of its distinct vertices is at least $k + 1$. For all $n,k \geq 1$, we determine the minimum possible number of inclusion-wise maximal distance-$k$ independent sets among all $n$-vertex trees. It equals~$n$ if $n \leq k ...

Sequential Three-Way Decisions in Efficient Classification of Piecewise Stationary Speech Signals
Savchenko A., , in: International Joint Conference on Rough Sets, Springer, Cham.: Springer, 2017. P. 264–277.
In this paper it is proposed to improve performance of the automatic speech recognition by using sequential three-way decisions. At first, the largest piecewise quasi-stationary segments are detected in the speech signal. Every segment is classified using the maximum a-posteriori (MAP) method implemented with the Kullback-Leibler minimum information discrimination principle. The three-way decisions are taken ...
