Fix a positive integer $n$, a real number $p\in (0,1]$, and a (perhaps random) hypergraph $\mathcal{H}$ on $[n]$. We introduce and investigate the following random multigraph model, which we denote $\mathbb{G}(n,p\, ; \,\mathcal{H})$: begin with an empty graph on $n$ vertices, which are labelled by the set $[n]$. For every $H\in \mathcal{H}$ choose, independently from previous choices, a doubleton from $H$, say $D = \{i,j\} \subset H$, uniformly at random and then introduce an edge between the vertices $i$ and $j$ in the graph with probability $p$, where each edge is introduced independently of all other edges.
In this paper, we examine the relationship between the stability of the dynamical system $x^{\prime}=f(x)$ and the computability of its basins of attraction. We present a computable $C^{\infty}$ system $x^{\prime}=f(x)$ that possesses a computable and stable equilibrium point, yet whose basin of attraction is robustly non-computable in a neighborhood of $f$ in the sense that both the equilibrium point and the non-computability of its associated basin of attraction persist when $f$ is slightly perturbed. This indicates that local stability near a stable equilibrium point alone is insufficient to guarantee the computability of its basin of attraction. However, we also demonstrate that the basins of attraction associated with a structurally stable - globally stable - planar system defined on a compact set are computable. Our findings suggest that the global stability of a system and the compactness of the domain play a pivotal role in determining the computability of its basins of attraction.
On a finite time interval $(0,T)$, we consider the multiresolution Galerkin discretization of a modified Hilbert transform $\mathcal H_T$ which arises in the space-time Galerkin discretization of the linear diffusion equation. To this end, we design spline-wavelet systems in $(0,T)$ consisting of piecewise polynomials of degree $\geq 1$ with sufficiently many vanishing moments which constitute Riesz bases in the Sobolev spaces $ H^{s}_{0,}(0,T)$ and $ H^{s}_{,0}(0,T)$. These bases provide multilevel splittings of the temporal discretization spaces into "increment" or "detail" spaces of direct sum type. Via algebraic tensor-products of these temporal multilevel discretizations with standard, hierarchic finite element spaces in the spatial domain (with standard Lagrangian FE bases), sparse space-time tensor-product spaces are obtained, which afford a substantial reduction in the number of the degrees of freedom as compared to time-marching discretizations. In addition, temporal spline-wavelet bases allow to compress certain nonlocal integrodifferential operators which appear in stable space-time variational formulations of initial-boundary value problems, such as the heat equation and the acoustic wave equation. An efficient preconditioner is proposed that affords linear complexity solves of the linear system of equations which results from the sparse space-time Galerkin discretization.
We introduce a text-to-speech (TTS) model called BASE TTS, which stands for $\textbf{B}$ig $\textbf{A}$daptive $\textbf{S}$treamable TTS with $\textbf{E}$mergent abilities. BASE TTS is the largest TTS model to-date, trained on 100K hours of public domain speech data, achieving a new state-of-the-art in speech naturalness. It deploys a 1-billion-parameter autoregressive Transformer that converts raw texts into discrete codes ("speechcodes") followed by a convolution-based decoder which converts these speechcodes into waveforms in an incremental, streamable manner. Further, our speechcodes are built using a novel speech tokenization technique that features speaker ID disentanglement and compression with byte-pair encoding. Echoing the widely-reported "emergent abilities" of large language models when trained on increasing volume of data, we show that BASE TTS variants built with 10K+ hours and 500M+ parameters begin to demonstrate natural prosody on textually complex sentences. We design and share a specialized dataset to measure these emergent abilities for text-to-speech. We showcase state-of-the-art naturalness of BASE TTS by evaluating against baselines that include publicly available large-scale text-to-speech systems: YourTTS, Bark and TortoiseTTS. Audio samples generated by the model can be heard at //amazon-ltts-paper.com/.
We show that every $3$-connected $K_{2,\ell}$-minor free graph with minimum degree at least $4$ has maximum degree at most $7\ell$. As a consequence, we show that every 3-connected $K_{2,\ell}$-minor free graph with minimum degree at least $5$ and no twins of degree $5$ has bounded size. Our proofs use Steiner trees and nested cuts; in particular, they do not rely on Ding's characterization of $K_{2,\ell}$-minor free graphs.
We analyze a Discontinuous Galerkin method for a problem with linear advection-reaction and $p$-type diffusion, with Sobolev indices $p\in (1, \infty)$. The discretization of the diffusion term is based on the full gradient including jump liftings and interior-penalty stabilization while, for the advective contribution, we consider a strengthened version of the classical upwind scheme. The developed error estimates track the dependence of the local contributions to the error on local P\'eclet numbers. A set of numerical tests supports the theoretical derivations.
We consider the problem of sketching a set valuation function, which is defined as the expectation of a valuation function of independent random item values. We show that for monotone subadditive or submodular valuation functions satisfying a weak homogeneity condition, or certain other conditions, there exist discretized distributions of item values with $O(k\log(k))$ support sizes that yield a sketch valuation function which is a constant-factor approximation, for any value query for a set of items of cardinality less than or equal to $k$. The discretized distributions can be efficiently computed by an algorithm for each item's value distribution separately. Our results hold under conditions that accommodate a wide range of valuation functions arising in applications, such as the value of a team corresponding to the best performance of a team member, constant elasticity of substitution production functions exhibiting diminishing returns used in economics and consumer theory, and others. Sketch valuation functions are particularly valuable for finding approximate solutions to optimization problems such as best set selection and welfare maximization. They enable computationally efficient evaluation of approximate value oracle queries and provide an approximation guarantee for the underlying optimization problem.
The classical Heawood inequality states that if the complete graph $K_n$ on $n$ vertices is embeddable in the sphere with $g$ handles, then $g \ge\dfrac{(n-3)(n-4)}{12}$. A higher-dimensional analogue of the Heawood inequality is the K\"uhnel conjecture. In a simplified form it states that for every integer $k>0$ there is $c_k>0$ such that if the union of $k$-faces of $n$-simplex embeds into the connected sum of $g$ copies of the Cartesian product $S^k\times S^k$ of two $k$-dimensional spheres, then $g\ge c_k n^{k+1}$. For $k>1$ only linear estimates were known. We present a quadratic estimate $g\ge c_k n^2$. The proof is based on beautiful and fruitful interplay between geometric topology, combinatorics and linear algebra.
We investigate a linearised Calder\'on problem in a two-dimensional bounded simply connected $C^{1,\alpha}$ domain $\Omega$. After extending the linearised problem for $L^2(\Omega)$ perturbations, we orthogonally decompose $L^2(\Omega) = \oplus_{k=0}^\infty \mathcal{H}_k$ and prove Lipschitz stability on each of the infinite-dimensional $\mathcal{H}_k$ subspaces. In particular, $\mathcal{H}_0$ is the space of square-integrable harmonic perturbations. This appears to be the first Lipschitz stability result for infinite-dimensional spaces of perturbations in the context of the (linearised) Calder\'on problem. Previous optimal estimates with respect to the operator norm of the data map have been of the logarithmic-type in infinite-dimensional settings. The remarkable improvement is enabled by using the Hilbert-Schmidt norm for the Neumann-to-Dirichlet boundary map and its Fr\'echet derivative with respect to the conductivity coefficient. We also derive a direct reconstruction method that inductively yields the orthogonal projections of a general $L^2(\Omega)$ perturbation onto the $\mathcal{H}_k$ spaces, hence reconstructing any $L^2(\Omega)$ perturbation.
Two graphs $G$ and $H$ are homomorphism indistinguishable over a family of graphs $\mathcal{F}$ if for all graphs $F \in \mathcal{F}$ the number of homomorphisms from $F$ to $G$ is equal to the number of homomorphism from $F$ to $H$. Many natural equivalence relations comparing graphs such as (quantum) isomorphism, cospectrality, and logical equivalences can be characterised as homomorphism indistinguishability relations over various graph classes. For a fixed graph class $\mathcal{F}$, the decision problem HomInd($\mathcal{F}$) asks to determine whether two input graphs $G$ and $H$ are homomorphism indistinguishable over $\mathcal{F}$. The problem HomInd($\mathcal{F}$) is known to be decidable only for few graph classes $\mathcal{F}$. We show that HomInd($\mathcal{F}$) admits a randomised polynomial-time algorithm for every graph class $\mathcal{F}$ of bounded treewidth which is definable in counting monadic second-order logic CMSO2. Thereby, we give the first general algorithm for deciding homomorphism indistinguishability. This result extends to a version of HomInd where the graph class $\mathcal{F}$ is specified by a CMSO2-sentence and a bound $k$ on the treewidth, which are given as input. For fixed $k$, this problem is randomised fixed-parameter tractable. If $k$ is part of the input then it is coNP- and coW[1]-hard. Addressing a problem posed by Berkholz (2012), we show coNP-hardness by establishing that deciding indistinguishability under the $k$-dimensional Weisfeiler--Leman algorithm is coNP-hard when $k$ is part of the input.
We design a randomized data structure that, for a fully dynamic graph $G$ updated by edge insertions and deletions and integers $k, d$ fixed upon initialization, maintains the answer to the Split Completion problem: whether one can add $k$ edges to $G$ to obtain a split graph. The data structure can be initialized on an edgeless $n$-vertex graph in time $n \cdot (k d \cdot \log n)^{\mathcal{O}(1)}$, and the amortized time complexity of an update is $5^k \cdot (k d \cdot \log n)^{\mathcal{O}(1)}$. The answer provided by the data structure is correct with probability $1-\mathcal{O}(n^{-d})$.
