In this work, we focus on the Dynamical Low Rank (DLR) approximation of PDEs equations with random parameters. This can be interpreted as a reduced basis method, where the approximate solution is expanded in separable form over a set of few deterministic b ...
Splines come in a variety of flavors that can be characterized in terms of some differential operator L. The simplest piecewise-constant model corresponds to the derivative operator. Likewise, one can extend the traditional notion of total variation by con ...
In this thesis, we study systems of linear and/or non-linear stochastic heat equations and fractional heat equations in spatial dimension 1 driven by space-time white noise. The main topic is the study of hitting probabilities for the solutions to these ...
We study the properties of the normal cone to a proximally smooth set. We give a complete characterization of a proximally smooth set through the monotonicity properties of its normal cone in an arbitrary uniformly convex and uniformly smooth Banach space. ...
We investigate how probability tools can be useful to study representations of non-amenable groups. A suitable notion of "probabilistic subgroup" is proposed for locally compact groups, and is valuable to induction of representations. Nonamenable groups ad ...
Following earlier work on some special cases [17,11] and on the analogous problem in higher dimensions [10,20], we make a more thorough investigation of the bifurcation points for a nonlinear boundary value problem of the form -{A(x)u' (x)}'.= f (lambda, x ...
We consider bifurcation from the line of trivial solutions for a nonlinear eigenvalue problem on a bounded open subset, Omega, of R-N with N >= 3, containing 0. The leading term is a degenerate elliptic operator of the form L(u) = del . A del u where A is ...
Modifying the moduli of supporting convexity and supporting smoothness, we introduce new moduli for Banach spaces which occur, for example, as lengths of catheti of right-angled triangles (defined via so-called quasiorthogonality). These triangles have two ...
This work studies the problem of statistical inference for Fréchet means in the Wasserstein space of measures on Euclidean spaces, W2(Rd). This question arises naturally from the problem of separating amplitude and phase variation i ...
One unaddressed challenge in optical metrology has been the measurement of higher order derivatives of rough specimens subjected to loading. In this paper, we investigate an approach that allows for the simultaneous estimation of the phase and its higher o ...
