In this paper, we propose a novel model to analyze serially correlated two-dimensional functional data observed sparsely and irregularly on a domain which may not be a rectangle. Our approach employs a mixed effects model that specifies the principal component functions as bivariate splines on triangulations and the principal component scores as random effects which follow an auto-regressive model. We apply the thin-plate penalty for regularizing the bivariate function estimation and develop an effective EM algorithm along with Kalman filter and smoother for calculating the penalized likelihood estimates of the parameters. Our approach was applied on simulated datasets and on Texas monthly average temperature data from January year 1915 to December year 2014.

This paper shows that a class of codes such as Reed-Muller (RM) codes have vanishing bit-error probability below capacity on symmetric channels. The proof relies on the notion of `camellia codes': a class of symmetric codes decomposable into `camellias', i.e., set systems that differ from sunflowers by allowing for scattered petal overlaps. The proof then follows from a boosting argument on the camellia petals with second moment Fourier analysis. For erasure channels, this gives a self-contained proof of the bit-error result in Kudekar et al.'17, without relying on sharp thresholds for monotone properties Friedgut-Kalai'96. For error channels, this gives a shortened proof of Reeves-Pfister'23 with an exponentially tighter bound, and a proof variant of the bit-error result in Abbe-Sandon'23. The control of the full (block) error probability still requires Abbe-Sandon'23 for RM codes.

We present a novel clustering algorithm, visClust, that is based on lower dimensional data representations and visual interpretation. Thereto, we design a transformation that allows the data to be represented by a binary integer array enabling the use of image processing methods to select a partition. Qualitative and quantitative analyses measured in accuracy and an adjusted Rand-Index show that the algorithm performs well while requiring low runtime and RAM. We compare the results to 6 state-of-the-art algorithms with available code, confirming the quality of visClust by superior performance in most experiments. Moreover, the algorithm asks for just one obligatory input parameter while allowing optimization via optional parameters. The code is made available on GitHub and straightforward to use.

Robust Markov Decision Processes (RMDPs) are a widely used framework for sequential decision-making under parameter uncertainty. RMDPs have been extensively studied when the objective is to maximize the discounted return, but little is known for average optimality (optimizing the long-run average of the rewards obtained over time) and Blackwell optimality (remaining discount optimal for all discount factors sufficiently close to 1). In this paper, we prove several foundational results for RMDPs beyond the discounted return. We show that average optimal policies can be chosen stationary and deterministic for sa-rectangular RMDPs but, perhaps surprisingly, that history-dependent (Markovian) policies strictly outperform stationary policies for average optimality in s-rectangular RMDPs. We also study Blackwell optimality for sa-rectangular RMDPs, where we show that {\em approximate} Blackwell optimal policies always exist, although Blackwell optimal policies may not exist. We also provide a sufficient condition for their existence, which encompasses virtually any examples from the literature. We then discuss the connection between average and Blackwell optimality, and we describe several algorithms to compute the optimal average return. Interestingly, our approach leverages the connections between RMDPs and stochastic games.

This paper focuses on the randomized Milstein scheme for approximating solutions to stochastic Volterra integral equations with weakly singular kernels, where the drift coefficients are non-differentiable. An essential component of the error analysis involves the utilization of randomized quadrature rules for stochastic integrals to avoid the Taylor expansion in drift coefficient functions. Finally, we implement the simulation of multiple singular stochastic integral in the numerical experiment by applying the Riemann-Stieltjes integral.

This research investigates the numerical approximation of the two-dimensional convection-dominated singularly perturbed problem on square, circular, and elliptic domains. Singularly perturbed boundary value problems present a significant challenge due to the presence of sharp boundary layers in their solutions. Additionally, the considered domain exhibits characteristic points, giving rise to a degenerate boundary layer problem. The stiffness of the problem is attributed to the sharp singular layers, which can result in substantial computational errors if not appropriately addressed. Traditional numerical methods typically require extensive mesh refinements near the boundary to achieve accurate solutions, which can be computationally expensive. To address the challenges posed by singularly perturbed problems, we employ physics-informed neural networks (PINNs). However, PINNs may struggle with rapidly varying singularly perturbed solutions over a small domain region, leading to inadequate resolution and potentially inaccurate or unstable results. To overcome this limitation, we introduce a semi-analytic method that augments PINNs with singular layers or corrector functions. Through our numerical experiments, we demonstrate significant improvements in both accuracy and stability, thus demonstrating the effectiveness of our proposed approach.

A semi-implicit in time, entropy stable finite volume scheme for the compressible barotropic Euler system is designed and analyzed and its weak convergence to a dissipative measure-valued (DMV) solution [E. Feireisl et al., Dissipative measure-valued solutions to the compressible Navier-Stokes system, Calc. Var. Partial Differential Equations, 2016] of the Euler system is shown. The entropy stability is achieved by introducing a shifted velocity in the convective fluxes of the mass and momentum balances, provided some CFL-like condition is satisfied to ensure stability. A consistency analysis is performed in the spirit of the Lax's equivalence theorem under some physically reasonable boundedness assumptions. The concept of K-convergence [E. Feireisl et al., K-convergence as a new tool in numerical analysis, IMA J. Numer. Anal., 2020] is used in order to obtain some strong convergence results, which are then illustrated via rigorous numerical case studies. The convergence of the scheme to a DMV solution, a weak solution and a strong solution of the Euler system using the weak-strong uniqueness principle and relative entropy are presented.

We note a fact that stiff systems or differential equations that have highly oscillatory solutions cannot be solved efficiently using conventional methods. In this paper, we study two new classes of exponential Runge-Kutta (ERK) integrators for efficiently solving stiff systems or highly oscillatory problems. We first present a novel class of explicit modified version of exponential Runge-Kutta (MVERK) methods based on the order conditions. Furthermore, we consider a class of explicit simplified version of exponential Runge-Kutta (SVERK) methods. Numerical results demonstrate the high efficiency of the explicit MVERK integrators and SVERK methods derived in this paper compared with the well-known explicit ERK integrators for stiff systems or highly oscillatory problems in the literature.

The dataset focuses on Wikipedia users and contains information about demographic and socioeconomic characteristics of the respondents and their activity on Wikipedia. The data was collected using a questionnaire available online between June and July 2023. The link to the questionnaire was distributed via a banner published in 8 languages on the Wikipedia page. Filling out the questionnaire was voluntary and not incentivised in any way. The survey includes 200 questions about: what people were doing on Wikipedia before clicking the link to the questionnaire; how they use Wikipedia as readers (``professional'' and ``personal'' uses); their opinion on the quality, the thematic coverage, the importance of the encyclopaedia; the making of Wikipedia (how they think it is made, if they have ever contributed and how); their social, sport, artistic and cultural activities, both online and offline; their socio-economic characteristics including political beliefs, and trust propensities. More than 200 000 people opened the questionnaire, 100 332 started to answer, and constitute our dataset, and 10 576 finished it. Among other themes identified by future researchers, the dataset can be useful for advancing the research regarding the features of readers vs contributors of online commons, the relationship between trust, information, sources, and the use made of this information.

This paper deals with surrogate modelling of a computer code output in a hierarchical multi-fidelity context, i.e., when the output can be evaluated at different levels of accuracy and computational cost. Using observations of the output at low- and high-fidelity levels, we propose a method that combines Gaussian process (GP) regression and Bayesian neural network (BNN), in a method called GPBNN. The low-fidelity output is treated as a single-fidelity code using classical GP regression. The high-fidelity output is approximated by a BNN that incorporates, in addition to the high-fidelity observations, well-chosen realisations of the low-fidelity output emulator. The predictive uncertainty of the final surrogate model is then quantified by a complete characterisation of the uncertainties of the different models and their interaction. GPBNN is compared with most of the multi-fidelity regression methods allowing to quantify the prediction uncertainty.
