LDP and CLT for SPDEs with transport noise

In this work we consider solutions to stochastic partial differential equations with transport noise, which are known to converge, in a suitable scaling limit, to solution of the corresponding deterministic PDE with an additional viscosity term. Large devi ...

Validation of D-T fusion power prediction capability against 2021 JET D-T experiments

Michele Marin, Javier García Hernández, Mikhail Maslov

JET experiments using the fuel mixture envisaged for fusion power plants, deuterium and tritium (D-T), provide a unique opportunity to validate existing D-T fusion power prediction capabilities in support of future device design and operation preparation. ...

The exploration process of critical Boltzmann planar maps decorated by a triangular O(n) loop model

Aleksandra Korzhenkova

In this paper we investigate pointed (q, g, n)-Boltzmann loop-decorated maps with loops traversing only inner triangular faces. Using peeling exploration Budd (2018) modified to this setting we show that its law in the non-generic critical phase can be cod ...

Gyrokinetic simulations of turbulence and zonal flows driven by steep profile gradients using a delta-f approach with an evolving background Maxwellian

Laurent Villard, Stephan Brunner, Alberto Bottino, Ben McMillan, Moahan Murugappan

Long global gyrokinetic turbulence simulations are particularly challenging in situations where the system deviates strongly from its initial state and when fluctuation levels are high, for example, in strong gradient regions. For particle-in-cell simulati ...

Statistical limits of dictionary learning: Random matrix theory and the spectral replica method

Nicolas Macris, Jean François Emmanuel Barbier

We consider increasingly complex models of matrix denoising and dictionary learning in the Bayes-optimal setting, in the challenging regime where the matrices to infer have a rank growing linearly with the system size. This is in contrast with most existin ...

Distributionally Robust Optimization with Markovian Data

Daniel Kuhn, Mengmeng Li, Tobias Sutter

We study a stochastic program where the probability distribution of the uncertain problem parameters is unknown and only indirectly observed via finitely many correlated samples generated by an unknown Markov chain with d states. We propose a data-driven d ...

Work fluctuations in the active Ornstein-Uhlenbeck particle model

Francesco Cagnetta

We study the large deviations of the power injected by the active force for an active Ornstein-Uhlenbeck particle (AOUP), free or in a confining potential. For the free-particle case, we compute the rate function analytically in d-dimensions from a saddle- ...

Efficient Learning of a Linear Dynamical System with Stability Guarantees

Daniel Kuhn, Wouter Jongeneel, Tobias Sutter

We propose a principled method for projecting an arbitrary square matrix to the non- convex set of asymptotically stable matrices. Leveraging ideas from large deviations theory, we show that this projection is optimal in an information-theoretic sense and ...

A General Framework for Optimal Data-Driven Optimization

Daniel Kuhn, Tobias Sutter

We propose a statistically optimal approach to construct data-driven decisions for stochastic optimization problems. Fundamentally, a data-driven decision is simply a function that maps the available training data to a feasible action. It can always be exp ...

From Data to Decisions: Distributionally Robust Optimization is Optimal

Daniel Kuhn, Peyman Mohajerin Esfahani

We study stochastic programs where the decision-maker cannot observe the distribution of the exogenous uncertainties but has access to a finite set of independent samples from this distribution. In this setting, the goal is to find a procedure that transfo ...
