We present a new information-theoretic result which we call the Chaining Lemma. It considers a so-called "chain" of random variables, defined by a source distribution X-(0) with high min-entropy and a number (say, t in total) of arbitrary functions (T-1,.. ...
Rock fall hazard assessment and zoning are very important for an appropriate land use planning in mountainous areas. However, they are complex topics, and current methodologies adopted for producing zoning maps do not provide satisfactory results, due to a ...
A shape grammar defines a procedural shape space containing a variety of models of the same class, e.g. buildings, trees, furniture, airplanes, bikes, etc. We present a framework that enables a user to interactively design a probability density function (p ...
Robust programs with modulated uncertainty sets are problems in which the uncertainty sets are treated as optimization variables. In many applications, these uncertainty sets can be interpreted as reserve capacities for which rewards are offered. One examp ...
Factor graph is a representative graphical model to handle uncertainty of random variables. Factor graph has been used in various application domains such as named entity recognition, social network analysis, and credibility evaluation. In this paper, we s ...
We address adaptive multivariate polynomial approximation by means of the discrete least-squares method with random evaluations, to approximate in the L2 probability sense a smooth function depending on a random variable distributed according to a given pr ...
We present a risk-averse multi-dimensional newsvendor model for a class of products whose demands are strongly correlated and subject to fashion trends that are not fully understood at the time when orders are placed. The demand distribution is known to be ...
We present new counterexamples, which provide stronger limitations to sums-differences statements than were previously known. The main idea to improve over the original counterexamples by Ruzsa is to consider non-uniform probability measures. ...
This thesis addresses the problem of a statistical description of the transport of sediment as bed load. It highlights the role of fluctuations arising during the transport process, and their impact on macroscopic averages. The results presented here are b ...
The characteristic functional is the infinite-dimensional generalization of the Fourier transform for measures on function spaces. It characterizes the statistical law of the associated stochastic process in the same way as a characteristic function specif ...
