In this paper we consider algebraic geometry (AG) codes: a class of codes constructed from algebraic codes (equivalently, using function fields) by Goppa. These codes can be list-decoded using the famous Guruswami-Sudan (GS) list-decoder, but the genus $g$ of the used function field gives rise to negative term in the decoding radius, which we call the genus penalty. In this article, we present a GS-like list-decoding algorithm for arbitrary AG codes, which we call the \emph{inseparable GS list-decoder}. Apart from the multiplicity parameter $s$ and designed list size $\ell$, common for the GS list-decoder, we introduce an inseparability exponent $e$. Choosing this exponent to be positive gives rise to a list-decoder for which the genus penalty is reduced with a factor $1/p^e$ compared to the usual GS list-decoder. Here $p$ is the characteristic. Our list-decoder can be executed in $\tilde{\mathcal{O}}(s\ell^{\omega}\mu^{\omega-1}p^e(n+g))$ field operations, where $n$ is the code length.

We extend several relative perturbation bounds to Hermitian matrices that are possibly singular, and also develop a general class of relative bounds for Hermitian matrices. As a result, corresponding relative bounds for singular values of rank-deficient $m\times n$ matrices are also obtained using the Jordan-Wielandt matrices. We also present that the main relative bound derived would be invariant with respect to congruence transformation under certain conditions, and compare its sharpness with the Weyl's absolute perturbation bound.
This paper presents the error analysis of numerical methods on graded meshes for stochastic Volterra equations with weakly singular kernels. We first prove a novel regularity estimate for the exact solution via analyzing the associated convolution structure. This reveals that the exact solution exhibits an initial singularity in the sense that its H\"older continuous exponent on any neighborhood of $t=0$ is lower than that on every compact subset of $(0,T]$. Motivated by the initial singularity, we then construct the Euler--Maruyama method, fast Euler--Maruyama method, and Milstein method based on graded meshes. By establishing their pointwise-in-time error estimates, we give the grading exponents of meshes to attain the optimal uniform-in-time convergence orders, where the convergence orders improve those of the uniform mesh case. Numerical experiments are finally reported to confirm the sharpness of theoretical findings.
This paper examines the distribution of order statistics taken from simple-random-sampling without replacement (SRSWOR) from a finite population with values 1,...,N. This distribution is a shifted version of the beta-binomial distribution, parameterised in a particular way. We derive the distribution and show how it relates to the distribution of order statistics under IID sampling from a uniform distribution over the unit interval. We examine properties of the distribution, including moments and asymptotic results. We also generalise the distribution to sampling without replacement of order statistics from an arbitrary finite population. We examine the properties of the order statistics for inference about an unknown population size (called the German tank problem) and we derive relevant estimation results based on observation of an arbitrary set of order statistics. We also introduce an algorithm that simulates sampling without replacement of order statistics from an arbitrary finite population without having to generate the entire sample.
We combine the unbiased estimators in Rhee and Glynn (Operations Research: 63(5), 1026-1043, 2015) and the Heston model with stochastic interest rates. Specifically, we first develop a semi-exact log-Euler scheme for the Heston model with stochastic interest rates. Then, under mild assumptions, we show that the convergence rate in the $L^2$ norm is $O(h)$, where $h$ is the step size. The result applies to a large class of models, such as the Heston-Hull-While model, the Heston-CIR model and the Heston-Black-Karasinski model. Numerical experiments support our theoretical convergence rate.
In the present paper, we formulate two versions of Frank--Wolfe algorithm or conditional gradient method to solve the DC optimization problem with an adaptive step size. The DC objective function consists of two components; the first is thought to be differentiable with a continuous Lipschitz gradient, while the second is only thought to be convex. The second version is based on the first and employs finite differences to approximate the gradient of the first component of the objective function. In contrast to past formulations that used the curvature/Lipschitz-type constant of the objective function, the step size computed does not require any constant associated with the components. For the first version, we established that the algorithm is well-defined of the algorithm and that every limit point of the generated sequence is a stationary point of the problem. We also introduce the class of weak-star-convex functions and show that, despite the fact that these functions are non-convex in general, the rate of convergence of the first version of the algorithm to minimize these functions is ${\cal O}(1/k)$. The finite difference used to approximate the gradient in the second version of the Frank-Wolfe algorithm is computed with the step-size adaptively updated using two previous iterations. Unlike previous applications of finite difference in the Frank-Wolfe algorithm, which provided approximate gradients with absolute error, the one used here provides us with a relative error, simplifying the algorithm analysis. In this case, we show that all limit points of the generated sequence for the second version of the Frank-Wolfe algorithm are stationary points for the problem under consideration, and we establish that the rate of convergence for the duality gap is ${\cal O}(1/\sqrt{k})$.
In this paper, to the best of our knowledge, we make the first attempt at studying the parametric semilinear elliptic eigenvalue problems with the parametric coefficient and some power-type nonlinearities. The parametric coefficient is assumed to have an affine dependence on the countably many parameters with an appropriate class of sequences of functions. In this paper, we obtain the upper bound estimation for the mixed derivatives of the ground eigenpairs that has the same form obtained recently for the linear eigenvalue problem. The three most essential ingredients for this estimation are the parametric analyticity of the ground eigenpairs, the uniform boundedness of the ground eigenpairs, and the uniform positive differences between ground eigenvalues of linear operators. All these three ingredients need new techniques and a careful investigation of the nonlinear eigenvalue problem that will be presented in this paper. As an application, considering each parameter as a uniformly distributed random variable, we estimate the expectation of the eigenpairs using a randomly shifted quasi-Monte Carlo lattice rule and show the dimension-independent error bound.
In classical statistics, a well known paradigm consists in establishing asymptotic equivalence between an experiment of i.i.d. observations and a Gaussian shift experiment, with the aim of obtaining optimal estimators in the former complicated model from the latter simpler model. In particular, a statistical experiment consisting of $n$ i.i.d observations from d-dimensional multinomial distributions can be well approximated by an experiment consisting of $d-1$ dimensional Gaussian distributions. In a quantum version of the result, it has been shown that a collection of $n$ qudits (d-dimensional quantum states) of full rank can be well approximated by a quantum system containing a classical part, which is a $d-1$ dimensional Gaussian distribution, and a quantum part containing an ensemble of $d(d-1)/2$ shifted thermal states. In this paper, we obtain a generalization of this result when the qudits are not of full rank. We show that when the rank of the qudits is $r$, then the limiting experiment consists of an $r-1$ dimensional Gaussian distribution and an ensemble of both shifted pure and shifted thermal states. For estimation purposes, we establish an asymptotic minimax result in the limiting Gaussian model. Analogous results are then obtained for estimation of a low-rank qudit from an ensemble of identically prepared, independent quantum systems, using the local asymptotic equivalence result. We also consider the problem of estimation of a linear functional of the quantum state. We construct an estimator for the functional, analyze the risk and use quantum local asymptotic equivalence to show that our estimator is also optimal in the minimax sense.
In this paper we present a hybridizable discontinuous Galerkin method for the time-dependent Navier-Stokes equations coupled to the quasi-static poroelasticity equations via interface conditions. We determine a bound on the data that guarantees stability and well-posedness of the fully discrete problem and prove a priori error estimates. A numerical example confirms our analysis.
We consider spin systems on general $n$-vertex graphs of unbounded degree and explore the effects of spectral independence on the rate of convergence to equilibrium of global Markov chains. Spectral independence is a novel way of quantifying the decay of correlations in spin system models, which has significantly advanced the study of Markov chains for spin systems. We prove that whenever spectral independence holds, the popular Swendsen--Wang dynamics for the $q$-state ferromagnetic Potts model on graphs of maximum degree $\Delta$, where $\Delta$ is allowed to grow with $n$, converges in $O((\Delta \log n)^c)$ steps where $c > 0$ is a constant independent of $\Delta$ and $n$. We also show a similar mixing time bound for the block dynamics of general spin systems, again assuming that spectral independence holds. Finally, for monotone spin systems such as the Ising model and the hardcore model on bipartite graphs, we show that spectral independence implies that the mixing time of the systematic scan dynamics is $O(\Delta^c \log n)$ for a constant $c>0$ independent of $\Delta$ and $n$. Systematic scan dynamics are widely popular but are notoriously difficult to analyze. Our result implies optimal $O(\log n)$ mixing time bounds for any systematic scan dynamics of the ferromagnetic Ising model on general graphs up to the tree uniqueness threshold. Our main technical contribution is an improved factorization of the entropy functional: this is the common starting point for all our proofs. Specifically, we establish the so-called $k$-partite factorization of entropy with a constant that depends polynomially on the maximum degree of the graph.
Asymptotic separation index is a parameter that measures how easily a Borel graph can be approximated by its subgraphs with finite components. In contrast to the more classical notion of hyperfiniteness, asymptotic separation index is well-suited for combinatorial applications in the Borel setting. The main result of this paper is a Borel version of the Lov\'asz Local Lemma -- a powerful general-purpose tool in probabilistic combinatorics -- under a finite asymptotic separation index assumption. As a consequence, we show that locally checkable labeling problems that are solvable by efficient randomized distributed algorithms admit Borel solutions on bounded degree Borel graphs with finite asymptotic separation index. From this we derive a number of corollaries, for example a Borel version of Brooks's theorem for graphs with finite asymptotic separation index.
