Grassmannian diffusion maps based surrogate modeling via geometric harmonics

Ketson Roberto Maximiano Dos Santos

A novel surrogate model based on the Grassmannian diffusion maps (GDMaps) and utilizing geometric harmonics (GH) is developed for predicting the response of complex physical phenomena. The method utilizes GDMaps to obtain a low-dimensional representation o ...

Does jackknife scale really matter for accurate large-scale structure covariances?

Ginevra Favole

The jackknife method gives an internal covariance estimate for large-scale structure surveys and allows model-independent errors on cosmological parameters. Using the SDSS-III BOSS CMASS sample, we study how the jackknife size and number of resamplings imp ...

Increasing risk: Dynamic mean-preserving spreads

Max-Olivier Hongler

We extend the celebrated Rothschild and Stiglitz (1970) definition of Mean-Preserving Spreads to a dynamic framework. We adapt the original integral conditions to transition probability densities, and give sufficient conditions for their satisfaction. We t ...

Flooding And Diameter In General Weighted Random Graphs

Thomas Mountford, Jacques Saliba

In this paper we study first passage percolation on a random graph model, the configuration model. We first introduce the notions of weighted diameter, which is the maximum of the weighted lengths of all optimal paths between any two vertices in the graph, ...

Global spatial analysis of toxic emissions to freshwater: operationalization for LCA

Anna Kounina Massé

PurposeThere is increasing interest in using fate and exposure models to spatially differentiate the impacts of chemical emissions. This work aims at exploring the operationalization in life cycle assessment (LCA) of spatially differentiated models for tox ...

Central limit theorems for multilevel Monte Carlo methods

Sebastian Krumscheid, Hakon Andreas Hoel

In this work, we show that uniform integrability is not a necessary condition for central limit theorems (CLT) to hold for normalized multilevel Monte Carlo (MLMC) estimators and we provide near optimal weaker conditions under which the CLT is achieved. In ...

Polynomial Escape-Time From Saddle Points In Distributed Non-Convex Optimization

Ali H. Sayed, Stefan Vlaski

The diffusion strategy for distributed learning from streaming data employs local stochastic gradient updates along with exchange of iterates over neighborhoods. In this work we establish that agents cluster around a network centroid in the mean-fourth sen ...

Dislocation Cross-Slip in Face-Centered Cubic Solid Solution Alloys

Wolfram Georg Nöhring

The mechanical strength of metals depends on their resistance against various microscopic deformation processes. In ductile metals, the most important process is shearing of the crystal lattice by dislocations. One of the fundamental aspects of dislocation ...
