We study the problem of enumerating Tarski fixed points, focusing on the relational lattices of equivalences, quasiorders and binary relations. We present a polynomial space enumeration algorithm for Tarski fixed points on these lattices and other lattices of polynomial height. It achieves polynomial delay when enumerating fixed points of increasing isotone maps on all three lattices, as well as decreasing isotone maps on the lattice of binary relations. In those cases in which the enumeration algorithm does not guarantee polynomial delay on the three relational lattices on the other hand, we prove exponential lower bounds for deciding the existence of three fixed points when the isotone map is given as an oracle, and that it is NP-hard to find three or more Tarski fixed points. More generally, we show that any deterministic or bounded-error randomized algorithm must perform a number of queries asymptotically at least as large as the lattice width to decide the existence of three fixed points when the isotone map is given as an oracle. Finally, we demonstrate that our findings yield a polynomial delay and space algorithm for listing bisimulations and instances of some related models of behavioral or role equivalence.

Hopfield networks are an attractive choice for solving many types of computational problems because they provide a biologically plausible mechanism. The Self-Optimization (SO) model adds to the Hopfield network by using a biologically founded Hebbian learning rule, in combination with repeated network resets to arbitrary initial states, for optimizing its own behavior towards some desirable goal state encoded in the network. In order to better understand that process, we demonstrate first that the SO model can solve concrete combinatorial problems in SAT form, using two examples of the Liars problem and the map coloring problem. In addition, we show how under some conditions critical information might get lost forever with the learned network producing seemingly optimal solutions that are in fact inappropriate for the problem it was tasked to solve. What appears to be an undesirable side-effect of the SO model, can provide insight into its process for solving intractable problems.

The work of Kalman and Bucy has established a duality between filtering and optimal estimation in the context of time-continuous linear systems. This duality has recently been extended to time-continuous nonlinear systems in terms of an optimization problem constrained by a backward stochastic partial differential equation. Here we revisit this problem from the perspective of appropriate forward-backward stochastic differential equations. This approach sheds new light on the estimation problem and provides a unifying perspective. It is also demonstrated that certain formulations of the estimation problem lead to deterministic formulations similar to the linear Gaussian case as originally investigated by Kalman and Bucy. Finally, optimal control of partially observed diffusion processes is discussed as an application of the proposed estimators.

We present the full approximation scheme constraint decomposition (FASCD) multilevel method for solving variational inequalities (VIs). FASCD is a common extension of both the full approximation scheme (FAS) multigrid technique for nonlinear partial differential equations, due to A.~Brandt, and the constraint decomposition (CD) method introduced by X.-C.~Tai for VIs arising in optimization. We extend the CD idea by exploiting the telescoping nature of certain function space subset decompositions arising from multilevel mesh hierarchies. When a reduced-space (active set) Newton method is applied as a smoother, with work proportional to the number of unknowns on a given mesh level, FASCD V-cycles exhibit nearly mesh-independent convergence rates, and full multigrid cycles are optimal solvers. The example problems include differential operators which are symmetric linear, nonsymmetric linear, and nonlinear, in unilateral and bilateral VI problems.

We propose a Hermite spectral method for the inelastic Boltzmann equation, which makes two-dimensional periodic problem computation affordable by the hardware nowadays. The new algorithm is based on a Hermite expansion, where the expansion coefficients for the VHS model are reduced into several summations and can be derived exactly. Moreover, a new collision model is built with a combination of the quadratic collision operator and a linearized collision operator, which helps us to balance the computational cost and the accuracy. Various numerical experiments, including spatially two-dimensional simulations, demonstrate the accuracy and efficiency of this numerical scheme.

We propose a distributed bundle adjustment (DBA) method using the exact Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) algorithm for super large-scale datasets. Most of the existing methods partition the global map to small ones and conduct bundle adjustment in the submaps. In order to fit the parallel framework, they use approximate solutions instead of the LM algorithm. However, those methods often give sub-optimal results. Different from them, we utilize the exact LM algorithm to conduct global bundle adjustment where the formation of the reduced camera system (RCS) is actually parallelized and executed in a distributed way. To store the large RCS, we compress it with a block-based sparse matrix compression format (BSMC), which fully exploits its block feature. The BSMC format also enables the distributed storage and updating of the global RCS. The proposed method is extensively evaluated and compared with the state-of-the-art pipelines using both synthetic and real datasets. Preliminary results demonstrate the efficient memory usage and vast scalability of the proposed method compared with the baselines. For the first time, we conducted parallel bundle adjustment using LM algorithm on a real datasets with 1.18 million images and a synthetic dataset with 10 million images (about 500 times that of the state-of-the-art LM-based BA) on a distributed computing system.

We study the problem of estimating non-linear functionals of discrete distributions in the context of local differential privacy. The initial data $x_1,\ldots,x_n \in [K]$ are supposed i.i.d. and distributed according to an unknown discrete distribution $p = (p_1,\ldots,p_K)$. Only $\alpha$-locally differentially private (LDP) samples $z_1,...,z_n$ are publicly available, where the term 'local' means that each $z_i$ is produced using one individual attribute $x_i$. We exhibit privacy mechanisms (PM) that are interactive (i.e. they are allowed to use already published confidential data) or non-interactive. We describe the behavior of the quadratic risk for estimating the power sum functional $F_{\gamma} = \sum_{k=1}^K p_k^{\gamma}$, $\gamma >0$ as a function of $K, \, n$ and $\alpha$. In the non-interactive case, we study two plug-in type estimators of $F_{\gamma}$, for all $\gamma >0$, that are similar to the MLE analyzed by Jiao et al. (2017) in the multinomial model. However, due to the privacy constraint the rates we attain are slower and similar to those obtained in the Gaussian model by Collier et al. (2020). In the interactive case, we introduce for all $\gamma >1$ a two-step procedure which attains the faster parametric rate $(n \alpha^2)^{-1/2}$ when $\gamma \geq 2$. We give lower bounds results over all $\alpha$-LDP mechanisms and all estimators using the private samples.

This work studies how the choice of the representation for parametric, spatially distributed inputs to elliptic partial differential equations (PDEs) affects the efficiency of a polynomial surrogate, based on Taylor expansion, for the parameter-to-solution map. In particular, we show potential advantages of representations using functions with localized supports. As model problem, we consider the steady-state diffusion equation, where the diffusion coefficient and right-hand side depend smoothly but potentially in a \textsl{highly nonlinear} way on a parameter $y\in [-1,1]^{\mathbb{N}}$. Following previous work for affine parameter dependence and for the lognormal case, we use pointwise instead of norm-wise bounds to prove $\ell^p$-summability of the Taylor coefficients of the solution. As application, we consider surrogates for solutions to elliptic PDEs on parametric domains. Using a mapping to a nominal configuration, this case fits in the general framework, and higher convergence rates can be attained when modeling the parametric boundary via spatially localized functions. The theoretical results are supported by numerical experiments for the parametric domain problem, illustrating the efficiency of the proposed approach and providing further insight on numerical aspects. Although the methods and ideas are carried out for the steady-state diffusion equation, they extend easily to other elliptic and parabolic PDEs.

Recently established, directed dependence measures for pairs $(X,Y)$ of random variables build upon the natural idea of comparing the conditional distributions of $Y$ given $X=x$ with the marginal distribution of $Y$. They assign pairs $(X,Y)$ values in $[0,1]$, the value is $0$ if and only if $X,Y$ are independent, and it is $1$ exclusively for $Y$ being a function of $X$. Here we show that comparing randomly drawn conditional distributions with each other instead or, equivalently, analyzing how sensitive the conditional distribution of $Y$ given $X=x$ is on $x$, opens the door to constructing novel families of dependence measures $\Lambda_\varphi$ induced by general convex functions $\varphi: \mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$, containing, e.g., Chatterjee's coefficient of correlation as special case. After establishing additional useful properties of $\Lambda_\varphi$ we focus on continuous $(X,Y)$, translate $\Lambda_\varphi$ to the copula setting, consider the $L^p$-version and establish an estimator which is strongly consistent in full generality. A real data example and a simulation study illustrate the chosen approach and the performance of the estimator. Complementing the afore-mentioned results, we show how a slight modification of the construction underlying $\Lambda_\varphi$ can be used to define new measures of explainability generalizing the fraction of explained variance.

We propose a matrix-free parallel two-level-deflation preconditioner combined with the Complex Shifted Laplacian preconditioner(CSLP) for the two-dimensional Helmholtz problems. The Helmholtz equation is widely studied in seismic exploration, antennas, and medical imaging. It is one of the hardest problems to solve both in terms of accuracy and convergence, due to scalability issues of the numerical solvers. Motivated by the observation that for large wavenumbers, the eigenvalues of the CSLP-preconditioned system shift towards zero, deflation with multigrid vectors, and further high-order vectors were incorporated to obtain wave-number-independent convergence. For large-scale applications, high-performance parallel scalable methods are also indispensable. In our method, we consider the preconditioned Krylov subspace methods for solving the linear system obtained from finite-difference discretization. The CSLP preconditioner is approximated by one parallel geometric multigrid V-cycle. For the two-level deflation, the matrix-free Galerkin coarsening as well as high-order re-discretization approaches on the coarse grid are studied. The results of matrix-vector multiplications in Krylov subspace methods and the interpolation/restriction operators are implemented based on the finite-difference grids without constructing any coefficient matrix. These adjustments lead to direct improvements in terms of memory consumption. Numerical experiments of model problems show that wavenumber independence has been obtained for medium wavenumbers. The matrix-free parallel framework shows satisfactory weak and strong parallel scalability.
