We consider linear problems in the worst case setting. That is, given a linear operator and a pool of admissible linear measurements, we want to approximate the values of the operator uniformly on a convex and balanced set by means of algorithms that use at most $n$ such measurements. It is known that, in general, linear algorithms do not yield an optimal approximation. However, as we show in this paper, an optimal approximation can always be obtained with a homogeneous algorithm. This is of interest to us for two reasons. First, the homogeneity allows us to extend any error bound on the unit ball to the full input space. Second, homogeneous algorithms are better suited to tackle problems on cones, a scenario that is far less understood than the classical situation of balls. We illustrate our results by several examples.

We construct an efficient class of increasingly high-order (up to 17th-order) essentially non-oscillatory schemes with multi-resolution (ENO-MR) for solving hyperbolic conservation laws. The candidate stencils for constructing ENO-MR schemes range from first-order one-point stencil increasingly up to the designed very high-order stencil. The proposed ENO-MR schemes adopt a very simple and efficient strategy that only requires the computation of the highest-order derivatives of a part of candidate stencils. Besides simplicity and high efficiency, ENO-MR schemes are completely parameter-free and essentially scale-invariant. Theoretical analysis and numerical computations show that ENO-MR schemes achieve designed high-order convergence in smooth regions which may contain high-order critical points (local extrema) and retain ENO property for strong shocks. In addition, ENO-MR schemes could capture complex flow structures very well.

A system of coupled oscillators on an arbitrary graph is locally driven by the tendency to mutual synchronization between nearby oscillators, but can and often exhibit nonlinear behavior on the whole graph. Understanding such nonlinear behavior has been a key challenge in predicting whether all oscillators in such a system will eventually synchronize. In this paper, we demonstrate that, surprisingly, such nonlinear behavior of coupled oscillators can be effectively linearized in certain latent dynamic spaces. The key insight is that there is a small number of `latent dynamics filters', each with a specific association with synchronizing and non-synchronizing dynamics on subgraphs so that any observed dynamics on subgraphs can be approximated by a suitable linear combination of such elementary dynamic patterns. Taking an ensemble of subgraph-level predictions provides an interpretable predictor for whether the system on the whole graph reaches global synchronization. We propose algorithms based on supervised matrix factorization to learn such latent dynamics filters. We demonstrate that our method performs competitively in synchronization prediction tasks against baselines and black-box classification algorithms, despite its simple and interpretable architecture.

Refinement calculus provides a structured framework for the progressive and modular development of programs, ensuring their correctness throughout the refinement process. This paper introduces a refinement calculus tailored for quantum programs. To this end, we first study the partial correctness of nondeterministic programs within a quantum while language featuring prescription statements. Orthogonal projectors, which are equivalent to subspaces of the state Hilbert space, are taken as assertions for quantum states. In addition to the denotational semantics where a nondeterministic program is associated with a set of trace-nonincreasing super-operators, we also present their semantics in transforming a postcondition to the weakest liberal postconditions and, conversely, transforming a precondition to the strongest postconditions. Subsequently, refinement rules are introduced based on these dual semantics, offering a systematic approach to the incremental development of quantum programs applicable in various contexts. To illustrate the practical application of the refinement calculus, we examine examples such as the implementation of a $Z$-rotation gate, the repetition code, and the quantum-to-quantum Bernoulli factory. Furthermore, we present Quire, a Python-based interactive prototype tool that provides practical support to programmers engaged in the stepwise development of correct quantum programs.

The characterization of the solution set for a class of algebraic Riccati inequalities is studied. This class arises in the passivity analysis of linear time invariant control systems. Eigenvalue perturbation theory for the Hamiltonian matrix associated with the Riccati inequality is used to analyze the extremal points of the solution set.

We introduce numerical solvers for the steady-state Boltzmann equation based on the symmetric Gauss-Seidel (SGS) method. Due to the quadratic collision operator in the Boltzmann equation, the SGS method requires solving a nonlinear system on each grid cell, and we consider two methods, namely Newton's method and the fixed-point iteration, in our numerical tests. For small Knudsen numbers, our method has an efficiency between the classical source iteration and the modern generalized synthetic iterative scheme, and the complexity of its implementation is closer to the source iteration. A variety of numerical tests are carried out to demonstrate its performance, and it is concluded that the proposed method is suitable for applications with moderate to large Knudsen numbers.

The main reason for query model's prominence in complexity theory and quantum computing is the presence of concrete lower bounding techniques: polynomial and adversary method. There have been considerable efforts to give lower bounds using these methods, and to compare/relate them with other measures based on the decision tree. We explore the value of these lower bounds on quantum query complexity and their relation with other decision tree based complexity measures for the class of symmetric functions, arguably one of the most natural and basic sets of Boolean functions. We show an explicit construction for the dual of the positive adversary method and also of the square root of private coin certificate game complexity for any total symmetric function. This shows that the two values can't be distinguished for any symmetric function. Additionally, we show that the recently introduced measure of spectral sensitivity gives the same value as both positive adversary and approximate degree for every total symmetric Boolean function. Further, we look at the quantum query complexity of Gap Majority, a partial symmetric function. It has gained importance recently in regard to understanding the composition of randomized query complexity. We characterize the quantum query complexity of Gap Majority and show a lower bound on noisy randomized query complexity (Ben-David and Blais, FOCS 2020) in terms of quantum query complexity. Finally, we study how large certificate complexity and block sensitivity can be as compared to sensitivity for symmetric functions (even up to constant factors). We show tight separations, i.e., give upper bounds on possible separations and construct functions achieving the same.

We propose and compare methods for the analysis of extreme events in complex systems governed by PDEs that involve random parameters, in situations where we are interested in quantifying the probability that a scalar function of the system's solution is above a threshold. If the threshold is large, this probability is small and its accurate estimation is challenging. To tackle this difficulty, we blend theoretical results from large deviation theory (LDT) with numerical tools from PDE-constrained optimization. Our methods first compute parameters that minimize the LDT-rate function over the set of parameters leading to extreme events, using adjoint methods to compute the gradient of this rate function. The minimizers give information about the mechanism of the extreme events as well as estimates of their probability. We then propose a series of methods to refine these estimates, either via importance sampling or geometric approximation of the extreme event sets. Results are formulated for general parameter distributions and detailed expressions are provided when Gaussian distributions. We give theoretical and numerical arguments showing that the performance of our methods is insensitive to the extremeness of the events we are interested in. We illustrate the application of our approach to quantify the probability of extreme tsunami events on shore. Tsunamis are typically caused by a sudden, unpredictable change of the ocean floor elevation during an earthquake. We model this change as a random process, which takes into account the underlying physics. We use the one-dimensional shallow water equation to model tsunamis numerically. In the context of this example, we present a comparison of our methods for extreme event probability estimation, and find which type of ocean floor elevation change leads to the largest tsunamis on shore.

Numerical methods for computing the solutions of Markov backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs) driven by continuous-time Markov chains (CTMCs) are explored. The main contributions of this paper are as follows: (1) we observe that Euler-Maruyama temporal discretization methods for solving Markov BSDEs driven by CTMCs are equivalent to exponential integrators for solving the associated systems of ordinary differential equations (ODEs); (2) we introduce multi-stage Euler-Maruyama methods for effectively solving "stiff" Markov BSDEs driven by CTMCs; these BSDEs typically arise from the spatial discretization of Markov BSDEs driven by Brownian motion; (3) we propose a multilevel spatial discretization method on sparse grids that efficiently approximates high-dimensional Markov BSDEs driven by Brownian motion with a combination of multiple Markov BSDEs driven by CTMCs on grids with different resolutions. We also illustrate the effectiveness of the presented methods with a number of numerical experiments in which we treat nonlinear BSDEs arising from option pricing problems in finance.

The remarkable practical success of deep learning has revealed some major surprises from a theoretical perspective. In particular, simple gradient methods easily find near-optimal solutions to non-convex optimization problems, and despite giving a near-perfect fit to training data without any explicit effort to control model complexity, these methods exhibit excellent predictive accuracy. We conjecture that specific principles underlie these phenomena: that overparametrization allows gradient methods to find interpolating solutions, that these methods implicitly impose regularization, and that overparametrization leads to benign overfitting. We survey recent theoretical progress that provides examples illustrating these principles in simpler settings. We first review classical uniform convergence results and why they fall short of explaining aspects of the behavior of deep learning methods. We give examples of implicit regularization in simple settings, where gradient methods lead to minimal norm functions that perfectly fit the training data. Then we review prediction methods that exhibit benign overfitting, focusing on regression problems with quadratic loss. For these methods, we can decompose the prediction rule into a simple component that is useful for prediction and a spiky component that is useful for overfitting but, in a favorable setting, does not harm prediction accuracy. We focus specifically on the linear regime for neural networks, where the network can be approximated by a linear model. In this regime, we demonstrate the success of gradient flow, and we consider benign overfitting with two-layer networks, giving an exact asymptotic analysis that precisely demonstrates the impact of overparametrization. We conclude by highlighting the key challenges that arise in extending these insights to realistic deep learning settings.
