Every link is shown to be presentable as a boundary of an unknotted flat banded surface. A (flat) banded link is defined as a boundary of an unknotted (flat) banded surface. A link's (flat) band index is defined as the minimum number of bands required to present the link as boundaries of an unknotted (flat) banded surf…

The goal of this study is to explain and examine the statistical underpinnings of the Bollinger Band methodology. We start off by elucidating the rolling regression time series model and deriving its explicit relationship to Bollinger Bands. Next we illustrate the use of Bollinger Bands in pairs trading and prove the e…

This article provides a novel framework to evaluate limit order tactics that highlights expected fill price, adverse price selection cost, and opportunity cost. We formulate the problem of optimal execution of market orders with nonlinear market impact, power law decay kernel, and stochastic and deterministic liquidity…

We give a short proof that if a non-trivial band sum of two knots results in a tight fibered knot, then the band sum is a connected sum. In particular, this means that any prime knot obtained by a non-trivial band sum is not tight fibered. Since a positive L-space knot is tight fibered, a non-trivial band sum never yie…

We propose a new framework for manifold denoising based on processing in the graph Fourier frequency domain, derived from the spectral decomposition of the discrete graph Laplacian. Our approach uses the Spectral Graph Wavelet transform in order to per- form non-iterative denoising directly in the graph frequency domai…

The paper creates nonparametric confidence bands for band-limited functions.

problem Estimating confidence bands for band-limited functions with finite samples and unknown noise.
method Uses Paley-Wiener reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces and gradient-perturbation methods.
result Non-asymptotic guarantees for confidence regions without assuming a parametric model.

In this paper, we provide efficient estimators and honest confidence bands for a variety of treatment effects including local average (LATE) and local quantile treatment effects (LQTE) in data-rich environments. We can handle very many control variables, endogenous receipt of treatment, heterogeneous treatment effects,…

result Approximately solves non-convex optimization problem for moving-band arbitrage.

Every classical knot is band-pass equivalent to the unknot or the trefoil. The band-pass class of a knot is a concordance invariant. Every ribbon knot, for example, is band-pass equivalent to the unknot. Here we introduce the long virtual knot concordance group VC\mathscr{VC}. It is shown that for every concordance cla…

method Based on Paley-Wiener reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces, the paper relaxes assumptions, improves noise estimation, and tightens constraints.
result Enhanced confidence bands with improved efficiency and tighter constraints.

We introduce a new sparse estimator of the covariance matrix for high-dimensional models in which the variables have a known ordering. Our estimator, which is the solution to a convex optimization problem, is equivalently expressed as an estimator which tapers the sample covariance matrix by a Toeplitz, sparsely-banded…

We prove optimal systolic inequalities on Finsler Mobius bands relating the systole and the height of the Mobius band to its Holmes-Thompson volume. We also establish an optimal systolic in- equality for Finsler Klein bottles of revolution, which we conjecture to hold true for arbitrary Finsler metrics. Extremal metric…

Band surgery is an operation relating pairs of knots or links in the three-sphere. We prove that if two quasi-alternating knots KK and KK' of the same square-free determinant are related by a band surgery, then the absolute value of the difference in their signatures is either 0 or 8. This obstruction follows from a …
