We present a scheme for finding all roots of an analytic function in a square domain in the complex plane. The scheme can be viewed as a generalization of the classical approach to finding roots of a function on the real line, by first approximating it by a polynomial in the Chebyshev basis, followed by diagonalizing the so-called ''colleague matrices''. Our extension of the classical approach is based on several observations that enable the construction of polynomial bases in compact domains that satisfy three-term recurrences and are reasonably well-conditioned. This class of polynomial bases gives rise to ''generalized colleague matrices'', whose eigenvalues are roots of functions expressed in these bases. In this paper, we also introduce a special-purpose QR algorithm for finding the eigenvalues of generalized colleague matrices, which is a straightforward extension of the recently introduced componentwise stable QR algorithm for the classical cases (See [Serkh]). The performance of the schemes is illustrated with several numerical examples.

In PDE-constrained optimization, one aims to find design parameters that minimize some objective, subject to the satisfaction of a partial differential equation. A major challenges is computing gradients of the objective to the design parameters, as applying the chain rule requires computing the Jacobian of the design parameters to the PDE's state. The adjoint method avoids this Jacobian by computing partial derivatives of a Lagrangian. Evaluating these derivatives requires the solution of a second PDE with the adjoint differential operator to the constraint, resulting in a backwards-in-time simulation. Particle-based Monte Carlo solvers are often used to compute the solution to high-dimensional PDEs. However, such solvers have the drawback of introducing noise to the computed results, thus requiring stochastic optimization methods. To guarantee convergence in this setting, both the constraint and adjoint Monte Carlo simulations should simulate the same particle trajectories. For large simulations, storing full paths from the constraint equation for re-use in the adjoint equation becomes infeasible due to memory limitations. In this paper, we provide a reversible extension to the family of permuted congruential pseudorandom number generators (PCG). We then use such a generator to recompute these time-reversed paths for the heat equation, avoiding these memory issues.
The problem of optimal recovering high-order mixed derivatives of bivariate functions with finite smoothness is studied. On the basis of the truncation method, an algorithm for numerical differentiation is constructed, which is order-optimal both in the sense of accuracy and in terms of the amount of involved Galerkin information.
A family of stabilizer-free $P_k$ virtual elements are constructed on triangular meshes. When choosing an accurate and proper interpolation, the stabilizer of the virtual elements can be dropped while the quasi-optimality is kept. The interpolating space here is the space of continuous $P_k$ polynomials on the Hsieh-Clough-Tocher macro-triangle, where the macro-triangle is defined by connecting three vertices of a triangle with its barycenter. We show that such an interpolation preserves $P_k$ polynomials locally and enforces the coerciveness of the resulting bilinear form. Consequently the stabilizer-free virtual element solutions converge at the optimal order. Numerical tests are provided to confirm the theory and to be compared with existing virtual elements.
We propose, analyze and realize a variational multiclass segmentation scheme that partitions a given image into multiple regions exhibiting specific properties. Our method determines multiple functions that encode the segmentation regions by minimizing an energy functional combining information from different channels. Multichannel image data can be obtained by lifting the image into a higher dimensional feature space using specific multichannel filtering or may already be provided by the imaging modality under consideration, such as an RGB image or multimodal medical data. Experimental results show that the proposed method performs well in various scenarios. In particular, promising results are presented for two medical applications involving classification of brain abscess and tumor growth, respectively. As main theoretical contributions, we prove the existence of global minimizers of the proposed energy functional and show its stability and convergence with respect to noisy inputs. In particular, these results also apply to the special case of binary segmentation, and these results are also novel in this particular situation.
Stochastic memoization is a higher-order construct of probabilistic programming languages that is key in Bayesian nonparametrics, a modular approach that allows us to extend models beyond their parametric limitations and compose them in an elegant and principled manner. Stochastic memoization is simple and useful in practice, but semantically elusive, particularly regarding dataflow transformations. As the naive implementation resorts to the state monad, which is not commutative, it is not clear if stochastic memoization preserves the dataflow property -- i.e., whether we can reorder the lines of a program without changing its semantics, provided the dataflow graph is preserved. In this paper, we give an operational and categorical semantics to stochastic memoization and name generation in the context of a minimal probabilistic programming language, for a restricted class of functions. Our contribution is a first model of stochastic memoization of constant Bernoulli functions with a non-enumerable type, which validates data flow transformations, bridging the gap between traditional probability theory and higher-order probability models. Our model uses a presheaf category and a novel probability monad on it.
Hierarchical matrices approximate a given matrix by a decomposition into low-rank submatrices that can be handled efficiently in factorized form. $\mathcal{H}^2$-matrices refine this representation following the ideas of fast multipole methods in order to achieve linear, i.e., optimal complexity for a variety of important algorithms. The matrix multiplication, a key component of many more advanced numerical algorithms, has so far proven tricky: the only linear-time algorithms known so far either require the very special structure of HSS-matrices or need to know a suitable basis for all submatrices in advance. In this article, a new and fairly general algorithm for multiplying $\mathcal{H}^2$-matrices in linear complexity with adaptively constructed bases is presented. The algorithm consists of two phases: first an intermediate representation with a generalized block structure is constructed, then this representation is re-compressed in order to match the structure prescribed by the application. The complexity and accuracy are analysed and numerical experiments indicate that the new algorithm can indeed be significantly faster than previous attempts.
We consider the weighted least squares spline approximation of a noisy dataset. By interpreting the weights as a probability distribution, we maximize the associated entropy subject to the constraint that the mean squared error is prescribed to a desired (small) value. Acting on this error yields a robust regression method that automatically detects and removes outliers from the data during the fitting procedure, by assigning them a very small weight. We discuss the use of both spline functions and spline curves. A number of numerical illustrations have been included to disclose the potentialities of the maximal-entropy approach in different application fields.
Solving multiphysics-based inverse problems for geological carbon storage monitoring can be challenging when multimodal time-lapse data are expensive to collect and costly to simulate numerically. We overcome these challenges by combining computationally cheap learned surrogates with learned constraints. Not only does this combination lead to vastly improved inversions for the important fluid-flow property, permeability, it also provides a natural platform for inverting multimodal data including well measurements and active-source time-lapse seismic data. By adding a learned constraint, we arrive at a computationally feasible inversion approach that remains accurate. This is accomplished by including a trained deep neural network, known as a normalizing flow, which forces the model iterates to remain in-distribution, thereby safeguarding the accuracy of trained Fourier neural operators that act as surrogates for the computationally expensive multiphase flow simulations involving partial differential equation solves. By means of carefully selected experiments, centered around the problem of geological carbon storage, we demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed constrained optimization method on two different data modalities, namely time-lapse well and time-lapse seismic data. While permeability inversions from both these two modalities have their pluses and minuses, their joint inversion benefits from either, yielding valuable superior permeability inversions and CO2 plume predictions near, and far away, from the monitoring wells.
The family of multivariate skew-normal distributions has many interesting properties. It is shown here that these hold for a general class of skew-elliptical distributions. For this class, several stochastic representations are established and then their probabilistic properties, such as characteristic function, moments, quadratic forms as well as transformation properties, are investigated.
The convergence analysis for least-squares finite element methods led to various adaptive mesh-refinement strategies: Collective marking algorithms driven by the built-in a posteriori error estimator or an alternative explicit residual-based error estimator as well as a separate marking strategy based on the alternative error estimator and an optimal data approximation algorithm. This paper reviews and discusses available convergence results. In addition, all three strategies are investigated empirically for a set of benchmarks examples of second-order elliptic partial differential equations in two spatial dimensions. Particular interest is on the choice of the marking and refinement parameters and the approximation of the given data. The numerical experiments are reproducible using the author's software package octAFEM available on the platform Code Ocean.
