The numerical solution of the generalized eigenvalue problem for a singular matrix pencil is challenging due to the discontinuity of its eigenvalues. Classically, such problems are addressed by first extracting the regular part through the staircase form and then applying a standard solver, such as the QZ algorithm, to that regular part. Recently, several novel approaches have been proposed to transform the singular pencil into a regular pencil by relatively simple randomized modifications. In this work, we analyze three such methods by Hochstenbach, Mehl, and Plestenjak that modify, project, or augment the pencil using random matrices. All three methods rely on the normal rank and do not alter the finite eigenvalues of the original pencil. We show that the eigenvalue condition numbers of the transformed pencils are unlikely to be much larger than the $\delta$-weak eigenvalue condition numbers, introduced by Lotz and Noferini, of the original pencil. This not only indicates favorable numerical stability but also reconfirms that these condition numbers are a reliable criterion for detecting simple finite eigenvalues. We also provide evidence that, from a numerical stability perspective, the use of complex instead of real random matrices is preferable even for real singular matrix pencils and real eigenvalues. As a side result, we provide sharp left tail bounds for a product of two independent random variables distributed with the generalized beta distribution of the first kind or Kumaraswamy distribution.

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.
We study the connection between the concavity properties of a measure $\nu$ and the convexity properties of the associated relative entropy $D(\cdot \Vert \nu)$ along optimal transport. As a corollary we prove a new dimensional Brunn-Minkowski inequality for centered star-shaped bodies, when the measure $\nu$ is log-concave with a p-homogeneous potential (such as the Gaussian measure). Our method allows us to go beyond the usual convexity assumption on the sets that is fundamentally essential for the standard differential-geometric technique in this area. We then take a finer look at the convexity properties of the Gaussian relative entropy, which yields new functional inequalities. First we obtain curvature and dimensional reinforcements to Otto--Villani's "HWI" inequality in the Gauss space, when restricted to even strongly log-concave measures. As corollaries, we obtain improved versions of Gross' logarithmic Sobolev inequality and Talgrand's transportation cost inequality in this setting.
We propose a new randomized method for solving systems of nonlinear equations, which can find sparse solutions or solutions under certain simple constraints. The scheme only takes gradients of component functions and uses Bregman projections onto the solution space of a Newton equation. In the special case of euclidean projections, the method is known as nonlinear Kaczmarz method. Furthermore, if the component functions are nonnegative, we are in the setting of optimization under the interpolation assumption and the method reduces to SGD with the recently proposed stochastic Polyak step size. For general Bregman projections, our method is a stochastic mirror descent with a novel adaptive step size. We prove that in the convex setting each iteration of our method results in a smaller Bregman distance to exact solutions as compared to the standard Polyak step. Our generalization to Bregman projections comes with the price that a convex one-dimensional optimization problem needs to be solved in each iteration. This can typically be done with globalized Newton iterations. Convergence is proved in two classical settings of nonlinearity: for convex nonnegative functions and locally for functions which fulfill the tangential cone condition. Finally, we show examples in which the proposed method outperforms similar methods with the same memory requirements.
Explicit time integration schemes coupled with Galerkin discretizations of time-dependent partial differential equations require solving a linear system with the mass matrix at each time step. For applications in structural dynamics, the solution of the linear system is frequently approximated through so-called mass lumping, which consists in replacing the mass matrix by some diagonal approximation. Mass lumping has been widely used in engineering practice for decades already and has a sound mathematical theory supporting it for finite element methods using the classical Lagrange basis. However, the theory for more general basis functions is still missing. Our paper partly addresses this shortcoming. Some special and practically relevant properties of lumped mass matrices are proved and we discuss how these properties naturally extend to banded and Kronecker product matrices whose structure allows to solve linear systems very efficiently. Our theoretical results are applied to isogeometric discretizations but are not restricted to them.
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.
This paper delves into a nonparametric estimation approach for the interaction function within diffusion-type particle system models. We introduce two estimation methods based upon an empirical risk minimization. Our study encompasses an analysis of the stochastic and approximation errors associated with both procedures, along with an examination of certain minimax lower bounds. In particular, we show that there is a natural metric under which the corresponding minimax estimation error of the interaction function converges to zero with parametric rate. This result is rather suprising given complexity of the underlying estimation problem and rather large classes of interaction functions for which the above parametric rate holds.
We introduce an algebraic concept of the frame for abstract conditional independence (CI) models, together with basic operations with respect to which such a frame should be closed: copying and marginalization. Three standard examples of such frames are (discrete) probabilistic CI structures, semi-graphoids and structural semi-graphoids. We concentrate on those frames which are closed under the operation of set-theoretical intersection because, for these, the respective families of CI models are lattices. This allows one to apply the results from lattice theory and formal concept analysis to describe such families in terms of implications among CI statements. The central concept of this paper is that of self-adhesivity defined in algebraic terms, which is a combinatorial reflection of the self-adhesivity concept studied earlier in context of polymatroids and information theory. The generalization also leads to a self-adhesivity operator defined on the hyper-level of CI frames. We answer some of the questions related to this approach and raise other open questions. The core of the paper is in computations. The combinatorial approach to computation might overcome some memory and space limitation of software packages based on polyhedral geometry, in particular, if SAT solvers are utilized. We characterize some basic CI families over 4 variables in terms of canonical implications among CI statements. We apply our method in information-theoretical context to the task of entropic region demarcation over 5 variables.
Genome assembly is a prominent problem studied in bioinformatics, which computes the source string using a set of its overlapping substrings. Classically, genome assembly uses assembly graphs built using this set of substrings to compute the source string efficiently, having a tradeoff between scalability and avoiding information loss. The scalable de Bruijn graphs come at the price of losing crucial overlap information. The complete overlap information is stored in overlap graphs using quadratic space. Hierarchical overlap graphs [IPL20] (HOG) overcome these limitations, avoiding information loss despite using linear space. After a series of suboptimal improvements, Khan and Park et al. simultaneously presented two optimal algorithms [CPM2021], where only the former was seemingly practical. We empirically analyze all the practical algorithms for computing HOG, where the optimal algorithm [CPM2021] outperforms the previous algorithms as expected, though at the expense of extra memory. However, it uses non-intuitive approach and non-trivial data structures. We present arguably the most intuitive algorithm, using only elementary arrays, which is also optimal. Our algorithm empirically proves even better for both time and memory over all the algorithms, highlighting its significance in both theory and practice. We further explore the applications of hierarchical overlap graphs to solve various forms of suffix-prefix queries on a set of strings. Loukides et al. [CPM2023] recently presented state-of-the-art algorithms for these queries. However, these algorithms require complex black-box data structures and are seemingly impractical. Our algorithms, despite failing to match the state-of-the-art algorithms theoretically, answer different queries ranging from 0.01-100 milliseconds for a data set having around a billion characters.
This paper is concerned with an inverse wave-number-dependent/frequency-dependent source problem for the Helmholtz equation. In d-dimensions (d = 2,3), the unknown source term is supposed to be compactly supported in spatial variables but independent on x_d. The dependance of the source function on k is supposed to be unknown. Based on the Dirichlet-Laplacian method and the Fourier-Transform method, we develop two effcient non-iterative numerical algorithms to recover the wave-number-dependent source. Uniqueness and increasing stability analysis are proved. Numerical experiments are conducted to illustrate the effctiveness and effciency of the proposed method.
