We prove lower bounds for the randomized approximation of the embedding $\ell_1^m \rightarrow \ell_\infty^m$ based on algorithms that use arbitrary linear (hence non-adaptive) information provided by a (randomized) measurement matrix $N \in \mathbb{R}^{n \times m}$. These lower bounds reflect the increasing difficulty of the problem for $m \to \infty$, namely, a term $\sqrt{\log m}$ in the complexity $n$. This result implies that non-compact operators between arbitrary Banach spaces are not approximable using non-adaptive Monte Carlo methods. We also compare these lower bounds for non-adaptive methods with upper bounds based on adaptive, randomized methods for recovery for which the complexity $n$ only exhibits a $(\log\log m)$-dependence. In doing so we give an example of linear problems where the error for adaptive vs. non-adaptive Monte Carlo methods shows a gap of order $n^{1/2} ( \log n)^{-1/2}$.

This paper studies the extreme singular values of non-harmonic Fourier matrices. Such a matrix of size $m\times s$ can be written as $\Phi=[ e^{-2\pi i j x_k}]_{j=0,1,\dots,m-1, k=1,2,\dots,s}$ for some set $\mathcal{X}=\{x_k\}_{k=1}^s$. The main results provide explicit lower bounds for the smallest singular value of $\Phi$ under the assumption $m\geq 6s$ and without any restrictions on $\mathcal{X}$. They show that for an appropriate scale $\tau$ determined by a density criteria, interactions between elements in $\mathcal{X}$ at scales smaller than $\tau$ are most significant and depends on the multiscale structure of $\mathcal{X}$ at fine scales, while distances larger than $\tau$ are less important and only depend on the local sparsity of the far away points. Theoretical and numerical comparisons show that the main results significantly improve upon classical bounds and achieve the same rate that was previously discovered for more restrictive settings.
We evaluate the performance of novel numerical methods for solving one-dimensional nonlinear fractional dispersive and dissipative evolution equations. The methods are based on affine combinations of time-splitting integrators and pseudo-spectral discretizations using Hermite and Fourier expansions. We show the effectiveness of the proposed methods by numerically computing the dynamics of soliton solutions of the the standard and fractional variants of the nonlinear Schr{\"o}dinger equation (NLSE) and the complex Ginzburg-Landau equation (CGLE), and by comparing the results with those obtained by standard splitting integrators. An exhaustive numerical investigation shows that the new technique is competitive when compared to traditional composition-splitting schemes for the case of Hamiltonian problems both in terms accuracy and computational cost. Moreover, it is applicable straightforwardly to irreversible models, outperforming high-order symplectic integrators which could become unstable due to their need of negative time steps. Finally, we discuss potential improvements of the numerical methods aimed to increase their efficiency, and possible applications to the investigation of dissipative solitons that arise in nonlinear optical systems of contemporary interest. Overall, the method offers a promising alternative for solving a wide range of evolutionary partial differential equations.
We consider a one-dimensional singularly perturbed 4th order problem with the additional feature of a shift term. An expansion into a smooth term, boundary layers and an inner layer yields a formal solution decomposition, and together with a stability result we have estimates for the subsequent numerical analysis. With classical layer adapted meshes we present a numerical method, that achieves supercloseness and optimal convergence orders in the associated energy norm. We also consider coarser meshes in view of the weak layers. Some numerical examples conclude the paper and support the theory.
We study the maximum-average submatrix problem, in which given an $N \times N$ matrix $J$ one needs to find the $k \times k$ submatrix with the largest average of entries. We study the problem for random matrices $J$ whose entries are i.i.d. random variables by mapping it to a variant of the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick spin-glass model at fixed magnetization. We characterize analytically the phase diagram of the model as a function of the submatrix average and the size of the submatrix $k$ in the limit $N\to\infty$. We consider submatrices of size $k = m N$ with $0 < m < 1$. We find a rich phase diagram, including dynamical, static one-step replica symmetry breaking and full-step replica symmetry breaking. In the limit of $m \to 0$, we find a simpler phase diagram featuring a frozen 1-RSB phase, where the Gibbs measure is composed of exponentially many pure states each with zero entropy. We discover an interesting phenomenon, reminiscent of the phenomenology of the binary perceptron: there exist efficient algorithms that provably work in the frozen 1-RSB phase.
We present a novel stabilized isogeometric formulation for the Stokes problem, where the geometry of interest is obtained via overlapping NURBS (non-uniform rational B-spline) patches, i.e., one patch on top of another in an arbitrary but predefined hierarchical order. All the visible regions constitute the computational domain, whereas independent patches are coupled through visible interfaces using Nitsche's formulation. Such a geometric representation inevitably involves trimming, which may yield trimmed elements of extremely small measures (referred to as bad elements) and thus lead to the instability issue. Motivated by the minimal stabilization method that rigorously guarantees stability for trimmed geometries [1], in this work we generalize it to the Stokes problem on overlapping patches. Central to our method is the distinct treatments for the pressure and velocity spaces: Stabilization for velocity is carried out for the flux terms on interfaces, whereas pressure is stabilized in all the bad elements. We provide a priori error estimates with a comprehensive theoretical study. Through a suite of numerical tests, we first show that optimal convergence rates are achieved, which consistently agrees with our theoretical findings. Second, we show that the accuracy of pressure is significantly improved by several orders using the proposed stabilization method, compared to the results without stabilization. Finally, we also demonstrate the flexibility and efficiency of the proposed method in capturing local features in the solution field.
We give a short survey of recent results on sparse-grid linear algorithms of approximate recovery and integration of functions possessing a unweighted or weighted Sobolev mixed smoothness based on their sampled values at a certain finite set. Some of them are extended to more general cases.
A sequential pattern with negation, or negative sequential pattern, takes the form of a sequential pattern for which the negation symbol may be used in front of some of the pattern's itemsets. Intuitively, such a pattern occurs in a sequence if negated itemsets are absent in the sequence. Recent work has shown that different semantics can be attributed to these pattern forms, and that state-of-the-art algorithms do not extract the same sets of patterns. This raises the important question of the interpretability of sequential pattern with negation. In this study, our focus is on exploring how potential users perceive negation in sequential patterns. Our aim is to determine whether specific semantics are more "intuitive" than others and whether these align with the semantics employed by one or more state-of-the-art algorithms. To achieve this, we designed a questionnaire to reveal the semantics' intuition of each user. This article presents both the design of the questionnaire and an in-depth analysis of the 124 responses obtained. The outcomes indicate that two of the semantics are predominantly intuitive; however, neither of them aligns with the semantics of the primary state-of-the-art algorithms. As a result, we provide recommendations to account for this disparity in the conclusions drawn.
We propose a method to modify a polygonal mesh in order to fit the zero-isoline of a level set function by extending a standard body-fitted strategy to a tessellation with arbitrarily-shaped elements. The novel level set-fitted approach, in combination with a Discontinuous Galerkin finite element approximation, provides an ideal setting to model physical problems characterized by embedded or evolving complex geometries, since it allows skipping any mesh post-processing in terms of grid quality. The proposed methodology is firstly assessed on the linear elasticity equation, by verifying the approximation capability of the level set-fitted approach when dealing with configurations with heterogeneous material properties. Successively, we combine the level set-fitted methodology with a minimum compliance topology optimization technique, in order to deliver optimized layouts exhibiting crisp boundaries and reliable mechanical performances. An extensive numerical test campaign confirms the effectiveness of the proposed method.
Ordinary state-based peridynamic (OSB-PD) models have an unparalleled capability to simulate crack propagation phenomena in solids with arbitrary Poisson's ratio. However, their non-locality also leads to prohibitively high computational cost. In this paper, a fast solution scheme for OSB-PD models based on matrix operation is introduced, with which, the graphics processing units (GPUs) are used to accelerate the computation. For the purpose of comparison and verification, a commonly used solution scheme based on loop operation is also presented. An in-house software is developed in MATLAB. Firstly, the vibration of a cantilever beam is solved for validating the loop- and matrix-based schemes by comparing the numerical solutions to those produced by a FEM software. Subsequently, two typical dynamic crack propagation problems are simulated to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed schemes in solving dynamic fracture problems. Finally, the simulation of the Brokenshire torsion experiment is carried out by using the matrix-based scheme, and the similarity in the shapes of the experimental and numerical broken specimens further demonstrates the ability of the proposed approach to deal with 3D non-planar fracture problems. In addition, the speed-up of the matrix-based scheme with respect to the loop-based scheme and the performance of the GPU acceleration are investigated. The results emphasize the high computational efficiency of the matrix-based implementation scheme.
We propose an approach to compute inner and outer-approximations of the sets of values satisfying constraints expressed as arbitrarily quantified formulas. Such formulas arise for instance when specifying important problems in control such as robustness, motion planning or controllers comparison. We propose an interval-based method which allows for tractable but tight approximations. We demonstrate its applicability through a series of examples and benchmarks using a prototype implementation.
