In this paper, we address the challenge of Nash equilibrium (NE) seeking in non-cooperative convex games with partial-decision information. We propose a distributed algorithm, where each agent refines its strategy through projected-gradient steps and an averaging procedure. Each agent uses estimates of competitors' actions obtained solely from local neighbor interactions, in a directed communication network. Unlike previous approaches that rely on (strong) monotonicity assumptions, this work establishes the convergence towards a NE under a diagonal dominance property of the pseudo-gradient mapping, that can be checked locally by the agents. Further, this condition is physically interpretable and of relevance for many applications, as it suggests that an agent's objective function is primarily influenced by its individual strategic decisions, rather than by the actions of its competitors. In virtue of a novel block-infinity norm convergence argument, we provide explicit bounds for constant step-size that are independent of the communication structure, and can be computed in a totally decentralized way. Numerical simulations on an optical network's power control problem validate the algorithm's effectiveness.

Small data learning problems are characterized by a significant discrepancy between the limited amount of response variable observations and the large feature space dimension. In this setting, the common learning tools struggle to identify the features important for the classification task from those that bear no relevant information, and cannot derive an appropriate learning rule which allows to discriminate between different classes. As a potential solution to this problem, here we exploit the idea of reducing and rotating the feature space in a lower-dimensional gauge and propose the Gauge-Optimal Approximate Learning (GOAL) algorithm, which provides an analytically tractable joint solution to the dimension reduction, feature segmentation and classification problems for small data learning problems. We prove that the optimal solution of the GOAL algorithm consists in piecewise-linear functions in the Euclidean space, and that it can be approximated through a monotonically convergent algorithm which presents -- under the assumption of a discrete segmentation of the feature space -- a closed-form solution for each optimization substep and an overall linear iteration cost scaling. The GOAL algorithm has been compared to other state-of-the-art machine learning (ML) tools on both synthetic data and challenging real-world applications from climate science and bioinformatics (i.e., prediction of the El Nino Southern Oscillation and inference of epigenetically-induced gene-activity networks from limited experimental data). The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms the reported best competitors for these problems both in learning performance and computational cost.

We present a simplified exposition of some pieces of [Gily\'en, Su, Low, and Wiebe, STOC'19, arXiv:1806.01838], which introduced a quantum singular value transformation (QSVT) framework for applying polynomial functions to block-encoded matrices. The QSVT framework has garnered substantial recent interest from the quantum algorithms community, as it was demonstrated by [GSLW19] to encapsulate many existing algorithms naturally phrased as an application of a matrix function. First, we posit that the lifting of quantum singular processing (QSP) to QSVT is better viewed not through Jordan's lemma (as was suggested by [GSLW19]) but as an application of the cosine-sine decomposition, which can be thought of as a more explicit and stronger version of Jordan's lemma. Second, we demonstrate that the constructions of bounded polynomial approximations given in [GSLW19], which use a variety of ad hoc approaches drawing from Fourier analysis, Chebyshev series, and Taylor series, can be unified under the framework of truncation of Chebyshev series, and indeed, can in large part be matched via a bounded variant of a standard meta-theorem from [Trefethen, 2013]. We hope this work finds use to the community as a companion guide for understanding and applying the powerful framework of [GSLW19].

Most identification methods of unknown parameters of linear regression equations (LRE) ensure only boundedness of a parametric error in the presence of additive perturbations, which is almost always unacceptable for practical scenarios. In this paper, a new identification law is proposed to overcome this drawback and guarantee asymptotic convergence of the unknown parameters estimation error to zero in case the mentioned additive perturbation meets special averaging conditions. Theoretical results are illustrated by numerical simulations.

In this paper we consider the finite element approximation of Maxwell's problem and analyse the prescription of essential boundary conditions in a weak sense using Nitsche's method. To avoid indefiniteness of the problem, the original equations are augmented with the gradient of a scalar field that allows one to impose the zero divergence of the magnetic induction, even if the exact solution for this scalar field is zero. Two finite element approximations are considered, namely, one in which the approximation spaces are assumed to satisfy the appropriate inf-sup condition that render the standard Galerkin method stable, and another augmented and stabilised one that permits the use of finite element interpolations of arbitrary order. Stability and convergence results are provided for the two finite element formulations considered.

In this paper, we propose a modification of an acoustic-transport operator splitting Lagrange-projection method for simulating compressible flows with gravity. The original method involves two steps that respectively account for acoustic and transport effects. Our work proposes a simple modification of the transport step, and the resulting modified scheme turns out to be a flux-splitting method. This new numerical method is less computationally expensive, more memory efficient, and easier to implement than the original one. We prove stability properties for this new scheme by showing that under classical CFL conditions, the method is positivity preserving for mass, energy and entropy satisfying. The flexible flux-splitting structure of the method enables straightforward extensions of the method to multi-dimensional problems (with respect to space) and high-order discretizations that are presented in this work. We also propose an interpretation of the flux-splitting solver as a relaxation approximation. Both the stability and the accuracy of the new method are tested against one-dimensional and two-dimensional numerical experiments that involve highly compressible flows and low-Mach regimes.

In this article, we introduce mixture representations for likelihood ratio ordered distributions. Essentially, the ratio of two probability densities, or mass functions, is monotone if and only if one can be expressed as a mixture of one-sided truncations of the other. To illustrate the practical value of the mixture representations, we address the problem of density estimation for likelihood ratio ordered distributions. In particular, we propose a nonparametric Bayesian solution which takes advantage of the mixture representations. The prior distribution is constructed from Dirichlet process mixtures and has large support on the space of pairs of densities satisfying the monotone ratio constraint. Posterior consistency holds under reasonable conditions on the prior specification and the true unknown densities. To our knowledge, this is the first posterior consistency result in the literature on order constrained inference. With a simple modification to the prior distribution, we can test the equality of two distributions against the alternative of likelihood ratio ordering. We develop a Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm for posterior inference and demonstrate the method in a biomedical application.

Generative diffusion models have achieved spectacular performance in many areas of generative modeling. While the fundamental ideas behind these models come from non-equilibrium physics, in this paper we show that many aspects of these models can be understood using the tools of equilibrium statistical mechanics. Using this reformulation, we show that generative diffusion models undergo second-order phase transitions corresponding to symmetry breaking phenomena. We argue that this lead to a form of instability that lies at the heart of their generative capabilities and that can be described by a set of mean field critical exponents. We conclude by analyzing recent work connecting diffusion models and associative memory networks in view of the thermodynamic formulations.

Uniform continuity bounds on entropies are generally expressed in terms of a single distance measure between a pair of probability distributions or quantum states, typically, the total variation distance or trace distance. However, if an additional distance measure between the probability distributions or states is known, then the continuity bounds can be significantly strengthened. Here, we prove a tight uniform continuity bound for the Shannon entropy in terms of both the local- and total variation distances, sharpening an inequality proven in [I. Sason, IEEE Trans. Inf. Th., 59, 7118 (2013)]. We also obtain a uniform continuity bound for the von Neumann entropy in terms of both the operator norm- and trace distances. The bound is tight when the quotient of the trace distance by the operator norm distance is an integer. We then apply our results to compute upper bounds on the quantum- and private classical capacities of channels. We begin by refining the concept of approximate degradable channels, namely, $\varepsilon$-degradable channels, which are, by definition, $\varepsilon$-close in diamond norm to their complementary channel when composed with a degrading channel. To this end, we introduce the notion of $(\varepsilon,\nu)$-degradable channels; these are $\varepsilon$-degradable channels that are, in addition, $\nu$-close in completely bounded spectral norm to their complementary channel, when composed with the same degrading channel. This allows us to derive improved upper bounds to the quantum- and private classical capacities of such channels. Moreover, these bounds can be further improved by considering certain unstabilized versions of the above norms. We show that upper bounds on the latter can be efficiently expressed as semidefinite programs. We illustrate our results by obtaining a new upper bound on the quantum capacity of the qubit depolarizing channel.

Agglomerative hierarchical clustering based on Ordered Weighted Averaging (OWA) operators not only generalises the single, complete, and average linkages, but also includes intercluster distances based on a few nearest or farthest neighbours, trimmed and winsorised means of pairwise point similarities, amongst many others. We explore the relationships between the famous Lance-Williams update formula and the extended OWA-based linkages with weights generated via infinite coefficient sequences. Furthermore, we provide some conditions for the weight generators to guarantee the resulting dendrograms to be free from unaesthetic inversions.

In this paper we present the result of successively applying a Chebyshev polynomial to a continuous random variable. In particular we show that under mild assumptions the limiting distribution will be the same as the weight with respect to which Chebyshev polynomials are orthogonal.
