We consider the information fiber optical channel modeled by the nonlinear Schrodinger equation with additive Gaussian noise. Using path-integral approach and perturbation theory for the small dimensionless parameter of the second dispersion, we calculate the conditional probability density functional in the leading and next-to-leading order in the dimensionless second dispersion parameter associated with the input signal bandwidth. Taking into account specific filtering of the output signal by the output signal receiver, we calculate the mutual information in the leading and next-to-leading order in the dispersion parameter and in the leading order in the parameter signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Further, we find the explicit expression for the mutual information in case of the modified Gaussian input signal distribution taking into account the limited frequency bandwidth of the input signal.

Mediation analysis is widely used for investigating direct and indirect causal pathways through which an effect arises. However, many mediation analysis studies are challenged by missingness in the mediator and outcome. In general, when the mediator and outcome are missing not at random, the direct and indirect effects are not identifiable without further assumptions. In this work, we study the identifiability of the direct and indirect effects under some interpretable mechanisms that allow for missing not at random in the mediator and outcome. We evaluate the performance of statistical inference under those mechanisms through simulation studies and illustrate the proposed methods via the National Job Corps Study.
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 consider a sharp interface formulation for the multi-phase Mullins-Sekerka flow. The flow is characterized by a network of curves evolving such that the total surface energy of the curves is reduced, while the areas of the enclosed phases are conserved. Making use of a variational formulation, we introduce a fully discrete finite element method. Our discretization features a parametric approximation of the moving interfaces that is independent of the discretization used for the equations in the bulk. The scheme can be shown to be unconditionally stable and to satisfy an exact volume conservation property. Moreover, an inherent tangential velocity for the vertices on the discrete curves leads to asymptotically equidistributed vertices, meaning no remeshing is necessary in practice. Several numerical examples, including a convergence experiment for the three-phase Mullins-Sekerka flow, demonstrate the capabilities of the introduced method.
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.
Neuromorphic computing is one of the few current approaches that have the potential to significantly reduce power consumption in Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence. Imam & Cleland presented an odour-learning algorithm that runs on a neuromorphic architecture and is inspired by circuits described in the mammalian olfactory bulb. They assess the algorithm's performance in "rapid online learning and identification" of gaseous odorants and odorless gases (short "gases") using a set of gas sensor recordings of different odour presentations and corrupting them by impulse noise. We replicated parts of the study and discovered limitations that affect some of the conclusions drawn. First, the dataset used suffers from sensor drift and a non-randomised measurement protocol, rendering it of limited use for odour identification benchmarks. Second, we found that the model is restricted in its ability to generalise over repeated presentations of the same gas. We demonstrate that the task the study refers to can be solved with a simple hash table approach, matching or exceeding the reported results in accuracy and runtime. Therefore, a validation of the model that goes beyond restoring a learned data sample remains to be shown, in particular its suitability to odour identification tasks.
We give a semidefinite programming characterization of the dual norm of numerical radius for matrices. This characterization yields a new proof of semidefinite characterization of the numerical radius for matrices, which follows from Ando's characterization. We show that the computation of the numerical radius and its dual norm within $\varepsilon$ precision are polynomially time computable in the data and $|\log \varepsilon |$ using the short step, primal interior point method.
Point source localisation is generally modelled as a Lasso-type problem on measures. However, optimisation methods in non-Hilbert spaces, such as the space of Radon measures, are much less developed than in Hilbert spaces. Most numerical algorithms for point source localisation are based on the Frank-Wolfe conditional gradient method, for which ad hoc convergence theory is developed. We develop extensions of proximal-type methods to spaces of measures. This includes forward-backward splitting, its inertial version, and primal-dual proximal splitting. Their convergence proofs follow standard patterns. We demonstrate their numerical efficacy.
The study further explores randomized QMC (RQMC), which maintains the QMC convergence rate and facilitates computational efficiency analysis. Emphasis is laid on integrating randomly shifted lattice rules, a distinct RQMC quadrature, with IS,a classic variance reduction technique. The study underscores the intricacies of establishing a theoretical convergence rate for IS in QMC compared to MC, given the influence of problem dimensions and smoothness on QMC. The research also touches on the significance of IS density selection and its potential implications. The study culminates in examining the error bound of IS with a randomly shifted lattice rule, drawing inspiration from the reproducing kernel Hilbert space (RKHS). In the realm of finance and statistics, many problems boil down to computing expectations, predominantly integrals concerning a Gaussian measure. This study considers optimal drift importance sampling (ODIS) and Laplace importance sampling (LapIS) as common importance densities. Conclusively, the paper establishes that under certain conditions, the IS-randomly shifted lattice rule can achieve a near $O(N^{-1})$ error bound.
A method of numerically solving the Maxwell equations is considered for modeling harmonic electromagnetic fields. The vector finite element method makes it possible to obtain a physically consistent discretization of the differential equations. However, solving large systems of linear algebraic equations with indefinite ill-conditioned matrices is a challenge. The high order of the matrices limits the capabilities of the Gaussian method to solve such systems, since this requires large RAM and much calculation. To reduce these requirements, an iterative preconditioned algorithm based on integral Laguerre transform in time is used. This approach allows using multigrid algorithms and, as a result, needs less RAM compared to the direct methods of solving systems of linear algebraic equations.
