Nurmuhammad et al. developed the Sinc-Nystr\"{o}m methods for initial value problems in which the solutions exhibit exponential decay end behavior. In these methods, the Single-Exponential (SE) transformation or the Double-Exponential (DE) transformation is combined with the Sinc approximation. Hara and Okayama improved on these transformations to attain a better convergence rate, which was later supported by theoretical error analyses. However, these methods have a computational drawback owing to the inclusion of a special function in the basis functions. To address this issue, Okayama and Hara proposed Sinc-collocation methods, which do not include any special function in the basis functions. This study conducts error analyses of these methods.

Data depth functions have been intensively studied for normed vector spaces. However, a discussion on depth functions on data where one specific data structure cannot be presupposed is lacking. In this article, we introduce a notion of depth functions for data types that are not given in statistical standard data formats and therefore we do not have one specific data structure. We call such data in general non-standard data. To achieve this, we represent the data via formal concept analysis which leads to a unified data representation. Besides introducing depth functions for non-standard data using formal concept analysis, we give a systematic basis by introducing structural properties. Furthermore, we embed the generalised Tukey depth into our concept of data depth and analyse it using the introduced structural properties. Thus, this article provides the mathematical formalisation of centrality and outlyingness for non-standard data and therefore increases the spaces centrality is currently discussed. In particular, it gives a basis to define further depth functions and statistical inference methods for non-standard data.
A family of symmetric matrices $A_1,\ldots, A_d$ is SDC (simultaneous diagonalization by congruence) if there is an invertible matrix $X$ such that every $X^T A_k X$ is diagonal. In this work, a novel randomized SDC (RSDC) algorithm is proposed that reduces SDC to a generalized eigenvalue problem by considering two (random) linear combinations of the family. We establish exact recovery: RSDC achieves diagonalization with probability $1$ if the family is exactly SDC. Under a mild regularity assumption, robust recovery is also established: Given a family that is $\epsilon$-close to SDC then RSDC diagonalizes, with high probability, the family up to an error of norm $\mathcal{O}(\epsilon)$. Under a positive definiteness assumption, which often holds in applications, stronger results are established, including a bound on the condition number of the transformation matrix. For practical use, we suggest to combine RSDC with an optimization algorithm. The performance of the resulting method is verified for synthetic data, image separation and EEG analysis tasks. It turns out that our newly developed method outperforms existing optimization-based methods in terms of efficiency while achieving a comparable level of accuracy.
We consider the problem of the exact computation of the marginal eigenvalue distributions in the Laguerre and Jacobi $\beta$ ensembles. In the case $\beta=1$ this is a question of long standing in the mathematical statistics literature. A recursive procedure to accomplish this task is given for $\beta$ a positive integer, and the parameter $\lambda_1$ a non-negative integer. This case is special due to a finite basis of elementary functions, with coefficients which are polynomials. In the Laguerre case with $\beta = 1$ and $\lambda_1 + 1/2$ a non-negative integer some evidence is given of their again being a finite basis, now consisting of elementary functions and the error function multiplied by elementary functions. Moreover, from this the corresponding distributions in the fixed trace case permit a finite basis of power functions, as also for $\lambda_1$ a non-negative integer. The fixed trace case in this setting is relevant to quantum information theory and quantum transport problem, allowing particularly the exact determination of Landauer conductance distributions in a previously intractable parameter regime. Our findings also aid in analyzing zeros of the generating function for specific gap probabilities, supporting the validity of an associated large $N$ local central limit theorem.
Quantum-inspired classical algorithms provide us with a new way to understand the computational power of quantum computers for practically-relevant problems, especially in machine learning. In the past several years, numerous efficient algorithms for various tasks have been found, while an analysis of lower bounds is still missing. Using communication complexity, in this work we propose the first method to study lower bounds for these tasks. We mainly focus on lower bounds for solving linear regressions, supervised clustering, principal component analysis, recommendation systems, and Hamiltonian simulations. More precisely, we show that for linear regressions, in the row-sparse case, the lower bound is quadratic in the Frobenius norm of the underlying matrix, which is tight. In the dense case, with an extra assumption on the accuracy we obtain that the lower bound is quartic in the Frobenius norm, which matches the upper bound. For supervised clustering, we obtain a tight lower bound that is quartic in the Frobenius norm. For the other three tasks, we obtain a lower bound that is quadratic in the Frobenius norm, and the known upper bound is quartic in the Frobenius norm. Through this research, we find that large quantum speedup can exist for sparse, high-rank, well-conditioned matrix-related problems. Finally, we extend our method to study lower bounds analysis of quantum query algorithms for matrix-related problems. Some applications are given.
While score-based generative models (SGMs) have achieved remarkable success in enormous image generation tasks, their mathematical foundations are still limited. In this paper, we analyze the approximation and generalization of SGMs in learning a family of sub-Gaussian probability distributions. We introduce a notion of complexity for probability distributions in terms of their relative density with respect to the standard Gaussian measure. We prove that if the log-relative density can be locally approximated by a neural network whose parameters can be suitably bounded, then the distribution generated by empirical score matching approximates the target distribution in total variation with a dimension-independent rate. We illustrate our theory through examples, which include certain mixtures of Gaussians. An essential ingredient of our proof is to derive a dimension-free deep neural network approximation rate for the true score function associated with the forward process, which is interesting in its own right.
We prove explicit uniform two-sided bounds for the phase functions of Bessel functions and of their derivatives. As a consequence, we obtain new enclosures for the zeros of Bessel functions and their derivatives in terms of inverse values of some elementary functions. These bounds are valid, with a few exceptions, for all zeros and all Bessel functions with non-negative indices. We provide numerical evidence showing that our bounds either improve or closely match the best previously known ones.
Digital credentials represent a cornerstone of digital identity on the Internet. To achieve privacy, certain functionalities in credentials should be implemented. One is selective disclosure, which allows users to disclose only the claims or attributes they want. This paper presents a novel approach to selective disclosure that combines Merkle hash trees and Boneh-Lynn-Shacham (BLS) signatures. Combining these approaches, we achieve selective disclosure of claims in a single credential and creation of a verifiable presentation containing selectively disclosed claims from multiple credentials signed by different parties. Besides selective disclosure, we enable issuing credentials signed by multiple issuers using this approach.
Mendelian randomization uses genetic variants as instrumental variables to make causal inferences about the effects of modifiable risk factors on diseases from observational data. One of the major challenges in Mendelian randomization is that many genetic variants are only modestly or even weakly associated with the risk factor of interest, a setting known as many weak instruments. Many existing methods, such as the popular inverse-variance weighted (IVW) method, could be biased when the instrument strength is weak. To address this issue, the debiased IVW (dIVW) estimator, which is shown to be robust to many weak instruments, was recently proposed. However, this estimator still has non-ignorable bias when the effective sample size is small. In this paper, we propose a modified debiased IVW (mdIVW) estimator by multiplying a modification factor to the original dIVW estimator. After this simple correction, we show that the bias of the mdIVW estimator converges to zero at a faster rate than that of the dIVW estimator under some regularity conditions. Moreover, the mdIVW estimator has smaller variance than the dIVW estimator.We further extend the proposed method to account for the presence of instrumental variable selection and balanced horizontal pleiotropy. We demonstrate the improvement of the mdIVW estimator over the dIVW estimator through extensive simulation studies and real data analysis.
On Schr?dingerization based quantum algorithms for linear dynamical systems with inhomogeneous terms
We analyze the Schr\"odingerisation method for quantum simulation of a general class of non-unitary dynamics with inhomogeneous source terms. The Schr\"odingerisation technique, introduced in \cite{JLY22a,JLY23}, transforms any linear ordinary and partial differential equations with non-unitary dynamics into a system under unitary dynamics via a warped phase transition that maps the equations into a higher dimension, making them suitable for quantum simulation. This technique can also be applied to these equations with inhomogeneous terms modeling source or forcing terms or boundary and interface conditions, and discrete dynamical systems such as iterative methods in numerical linear algebra, through extra equations in the system. Difficulty airses with the presense of inhomogeneous terms since it can change the stability of the original system. In this paper, we systematically study--both theoretically and numerically--the important issue of recovering the original variables from the Schr\"odingerized equations, even when the evolution operator contains unstable modes. We show that even with unstable modes, one can still construct a stable scheme, yet to recover the original variable one needs to use suitable data in the extended space. We analyze and compare both the discrete and continuous Fourier transforms used in the extended dimension, and derive corresponding error estimates, which allows one to use the more appropriate transform for specific equations. We also provide a smoother initialization for the Schrod\"odingerized system to gain higher order accuracy in the extended space. We homogenize the inhomogeneous terms with a stretch transformation, making it easier to recover the original variable. Our recovering technique also provides a simple and generic framework to solve general ill-posed problems in a computationally stable way.
The classical approach to analyzing extreme value data is the generalized Pareto distribution (GPD). When the GPD is used to explain a target variable with the large dimension of covariates, the shape and scale function of covariates included in GPD are sometimes modeled using the generalized additive models (GAM). In contrast to many results of application, there are no theoretical results on the hybrid technique of GAM and GPD, which motivates us to develop its asymptotic theory. We provide the rate of convergence of the estimator of shape and scale functions, as well as its local asymptotic normality.
