Spatial Coupling as a Proof Technique and Three Applications

Rüdiger Urbanke, Nicolas Macris, Andrei Giurgiu

The aim of this paper is to show that spatial coupling can be viewed not only as a means to build better graphical models, but also as a tool to better understand uncoupled models. The starting point is the observation that some asymptotic properties of gr ...

Exact simulation of max-stable processes

Sebastian Engelke, Clément Dombry

Max-stable processes play an important role as models for spatial extreme events. Their complex structure as the pointwise maximum over an infinite number of random functions makes their simulation difficult. Algorithms based on finite approximations are o ...

A Multi Level Monte Carlo Method with Control Variate for elliptic PDEs with log-normal coefficients

Fabio Nobile, Francesco Tesei

We consider the numerical approximation of the stochastic Darcy problem with log-normal permeability field and propose a novel Multi Level Monte Carlo (MLMC) approach with a control variate variance reduction technique on each level. We model the log-perme ...

Convergence of quasi-optimal Stochastic Galerkin methods for a class of PDES with random coefficients

Fabio Nobile, Lorenzo Tamellini

In this work we consider quasi-optimal versions of the Stochastic Galerkin method for solving linear elliptic PDEs with stochastic coefficients. In particular, we consider the case of a finite number

Sampling Curves with Finite Rate of Innovation

Thierry Blu, Hanjie Pan, Pier Luigi Dragotti

In this paper, we extend the theory of sampling signals with finite rate of innovation (FRI) to a specific class of two-dimensional curves, which are defined implicitly as the zeros of a mask function. Here the mask function has a parametric representation ...

Inferring the Evolutionary History of Primate microRNA Binding Sites: Overcoming Motif Counting Biases

Jeffrey David Jensen, Feng Gao

The first microRNAs (miRNAs) were identified as essential, conserved regulators of gene expression, targeting the same genes across nearly all bilaterians. However, there are also prominent examples of conserved miRNAs whose functions appear to have shifte ...

Perturbation analysis for the Darcy problem with log-normal permeability

Fabio Nobile, Francesca Bonizzoni

We study the single-phase flow in a saturated, bounded heterogeneous porous medium. We model the permeability as a log-normal random field. We perform a perturbation analysis, expanding the solution in Taylor series. The series is directly computable in th ...

A Weighted Reduced Basis Method For Elliptic Partial Differential Equations With Random Input Data

Alfio Quarteroni, Gianluigi Rozza, Peng Chen

In this work we propose and analyze a weighted reduced basis method to solve elliptic partial differential equations (PDEs) with random input data. The PDEs are first transformed into a weighted parametric elliptic problem depending on a finite number of p ...

Improving Control of Dexterous Hand Prostheses Using Adaptive Learning

Barbara Caputo, Tatiana Tommasi

At the time of this writing, the main means of control for polyarticulated self-powered hand prostheses is surface electromyography (sEMG). In the clinical setting, data collected from two electrodes are used to guide the hand movements selecting among a f ...
