We develop a family of cut finite element methods of different orders based on the discontinuous Galerkin framework, for hyperbolic conservation laws with stationary interfaces in both one and two space dimensions, and for moving interfaces in one space dimension. Interface conditions are imposed weakly and so that both conservation and stability are ensured. A CutFEM with discontinuous elements in space is developed and coupled to standard explicit time-stepping schemes for linear advection problems and the acoustic wave problem with stationary interfaces. In the case of moving interfaces, we propose a space-time CutFEM based on discontinuous elements both in space and time for linear advection problems. We show that the proposed CutFEM are conservative and energy stable. For the stationary interface case an a priori error estimate is proven. Numerical computations in both one and two space dimensions support the analysis, and in addition demonstrate that the proposed methods have the expected accuracy.

In this paper we propose a deep learning based numerical scheme for strongly coupled FBSDE, stemming from stochastic control. It is a modification of the deep BSDE method in which the initial value to the backward equation is not a free parameter, and with a new loss function being the weighted sum of the cost of the control problem, and a variance term which coincides with the means square error in the terminal condition. We show by a numerical example that a direct extension of the classical deep BSDE method to FBSDE, fails for a simple linear-quadratic control problem, and motivate why the new method works. Under regularity and boundedness assumptions on the exact controls of time continuous and time discrete control problems we provide an error analysis for our method. We show empirically that the method converges for three different problems, one being the one that failed for a direct extension of the deep BSDE method.

We consider stochastic differential equations (SDEs) driven by small L\'evy noise with some unknown parameters, and propose a new type of least squares estimators based on discrete samples from the SDEs. To approximate the increments of a process from the SDEs, we shall use not the usual Euler method, but the Adams method, that is, a well-known numerical approximation of the solution to the ordinary differential equation appearing in the limit of the SDE. We show the consistency of the proposed estimators as well as the asymptotic distribution in a suitable observation scheme. We also show that our estimators can be better than the usual LSE based on the Euler method in the finite sample performance.

In this paper, we study a non-local approximation of the time-dependent (local) Eikonal equation with Dirichlet-type boundary conditions, where the kernel in the non-local problem is properly scaled. Based on the theory of viscosity solutions, we prove existence and uniqueness of the viscosity solutions of both the local and non-local problems, as well as regularity properties of these solutions in time and space. We then derive error bounds between the solution to the non-local problem and that of the local one, both in continuous-time and Backward Euler time discretization. We then turn to studying continuum limits of non-local problems defined on random weighted graphs with $n$ vertices. In particular, we establish that if the kernel scale parameter decreases at an appropriate rate as $n$ grows, then almost surely, the solution of the problem on graphs converges uniformly to the viscosity solution of the local problem as the time step vanishes and the number vertices $n$ grows large.

Parametrized max-affine (PMA) and parametrized log-sum-exp (PLSE) networks are proposed for general decision-making problems. The proposed approximators generalize existing convex approximators, namely, max-affine (MA) and log-sum-exp (LSE) networks, by considering function arguments of condition and decision variables and replacing the network parameters of MA and LSE networks with continuous functions with respect to the condition variable. The universal approximation theorem of PMA and PLSE is proven, which implies that PMA and PLSE are shape-preserving universal approximators for parametrized convex continuous functions. Practical guidelines for incorporating deep neural networks within PMA and PLSE networks are provided. A numerical simulation is performed to demonstrate the performance of the proposed approximators. The simulation results support that PLSE outperforms other existing approximators in terms of minimizer and optimal value errors with scalable and efficient computation for high-dimensional cases.

In this paper we consider a linearized variable-time-step two-step backward differentiation formula (BDF2) scheme for solving nonlinear parabolic equations. The scheme is constructed by using the variable time-step BDF2 for the linear term and a Newton linearized method for the nonlinear term in time combining with a Galerkin finite element method (FEM) in space. We prove the unconditionally optimal error estimate of the proposed scheme under mild restrictions on the ratio of adjacent time-steps, i.e. $0<r_k < r_{\max} \approx 4.8645$ and on the maximum time step. The proof involves the discrete orthogonal convolution (DOC) and discrete complementary convolution (DCC) kernels, and the error splitting approach. In addition, our analysis also shows that the first level solution $u^1$ obtained by BDF1 (i.e. backward Euler scheme) does not cause the loss of global accuracy of second order. Numerical examples are provided to demonstrate our theoretical results.

We prove new lower bounds for suitable competitive ratio measures of two relaxed online packing problems: online removable multiple knapsack, and a recently introduced online minimum peak appointment scheduling problem. The high level objective in both problems is to pack arriving items of sizes at most 1 into bins of capacity 1 as efficiently as possible, but the exact formalizations differ. In the appointment scheduling problem, every item has to be assigned to a position, which can be seen as a time interval during a workday of length 1. That is, items are not assigned to bins, but only once all the items are processed, the optimal number of bins subject to chosen positions is determined, and this is the cost of the online algorithm. On the other hand, in the removable knapsack problem there is a fixed number of bins, and the goal of packing items, which consists in choosing a particular bin for every packed item (and nothing else), is to pack as valuable a subset as possible. In this last problem it is possible to reject items, that is, deliberately not pack them, as well as to remove packed items at any later point in time, which adds flexibility to the problem.

Statistical depths provide a fundamental generalization of quantiles and medians to data in higher dimensions. This paper proposes a new type of globally defined statistical depth, based upon control theory and eikonal equations, which measures the smallest amount of probability density that has to be passed through in a path to points outside the support of the distribution: for example spatial infinity. This depth is easy to interpret and compute, expressively captures multi-modal behavior, and extends naturally to data that is non-Euclidean. We prove various properties of this depth, and provide discussion of computational considerations. In particular, we demonstrate that this notion of depth is robust under an aproximate isometrically constrained adversarial model, a property which is not enjoyed by the Tukey depth. Finally we give some illustrative examples in the context of two-dimensional mixture models and MNIST.

Approximations of optimization problems arise in computational procedures and sensitivity analysis. The resulting effect on solutions can be significant, with even small approximations of components of a problem translating into large errors in the solutions. We specify conditions under which approximations are well behaved in the sense of minimizers, stationary points, and level-sets and this leads to a framework of consistent approximations. The framework is developed for a broad class of composite problems, which are neither convex nor smooth. We demonstrate the framework using examples from stochastic optimization, neural-network based machine learning, distributionally robust optimization, penalty and augmented Lagrangian methods, interior-point methods, homotopy methods, smoothing methods, extended nonlinear programming, difference-of-convex programming, and multi-objective optimization. An enhanced proximal method illustrates the algorithmic possibilities. A quantitative analysis supplements the development by furnishing rates of convergence.

We consider the exploration-exploitation trade-off in reinforcement learning and we show that an agent imbued with a risk-seeking utility function is able to explore efficiently, as measured by regret. The parameter that controls how risk-seeking the agent is can be optimized exactly, or annealed according to a schedule. We call the resulting algorithm K-learning and show that the corresponding K-values are optimistic for the expected Q-values at each state-action pair. The K-values induce a natural Boltzmann exploration policy for which the `temperature' parameter is equal to the risk-seeking parameter. This policy achieves an expected regret bound of $\tilde O(L^{3/2} \sqrt{S A T})$, where $L$ is the time horizon, $S$ is the number of states, $A$ is the number of actions, and $T$ is the total number of elapsed time-steps. This bound is only a factor of $L$ larger than the established lower bound. K-learning can be interpreted as mirror descent in the policy space, and it is similar to other well-known methods in the literature, including Q-learning, soft-Q-learning, and maximum entropy policy gradient, and is closely related to optimism and count based exploration methods. K-learning is simple to implement, as it only requires adding a bonus to the reward at each state-action and then solving a Bellman equation. We conclude with a numerical example demonstrating that K-learning is competitive with other state-of-the-art algorithms in practice.
