We study discrete-time mean-field Markov games with infinite numbers of agents where each agent aims to minimize its ergodic cost. We consider the setting where the agents have identical linear state transitions and quadratic cost functions, while the aggregated effect of the agents is captured by the population mean o…
In order to model entanglements of polymers in a confined region, we consider the linking numbers and writhes of cycles in random linear embeddings of complete graphs in a cube. Our main results are that for a random linear embedding of Kn in a cube, the mean sum of squared linking numbers and the mean sum of square…
Kernel k-means clustering can correctly identify and extract a far more varied collection of cluster structures than the linear k-means clustering algorithm. However, kernel k-means clustering is computationally expensive when the non-linear feature map is high-dimensional and there are many input points. Kernel …
Our aim is to study invariant hypersurfaces immersed in the Euclidean space Rn+1, whose mean curvature is given as a linear function in the unit sphere Sn depending on its Gauss map. These hypersurfaces are closely related with the theory of manifolds with density, since their weighted mean cu…
Diffusion means converge to extrinsic means for long times on spheres.
problem Understanding the long-time behavior of diffusion means on manifolds.
method Introduced diffusion means as a parameterized family of location statistics on manifolds, and analyzed their convergence to extrinsic means for long times.
result For real projective spaces and connected compact symmetric spaces, the long-time limit of diffusion means is conjectured to be the extrinsic mean in the isometric embedding.
Kernel means are frequently used to represent probability distributions in machine learning problems. In particular, the well known kernel density estimator and the kernel mean embedding both have the form of a kernel mean. Unfortunately, kernel means are faced with scalability issues. A single point evaluation of the …
Considering the kinematics of the moving frame associated with a constant mean curvature surface immersed in S^3 we derive a linear problem with the spectral parameter corresponding to elliptic sinh-Gordon equation. The spectral parameter is related to the radius R of the sphere S^3. The application of the Sym formula …
The paper introduces a non-linear version of the process convolution formalism for building covariance functions for multi-output Gaussian processes. The non-linearity is introduced via Volterra series, one series per each output. We provide closed-form expressions for the mean function and the covariance function of t…
Efficient algorithms for k-means clustering frequently converge to suboptimal partitions, and given a partition, it is difficult to detect k-means optimality. In this paper, we develop an a posteriori certifier of approximate optimality for k-means clustering. The certifier is a sub-linear Monte Carlo algorithm b…
The paper explores rigidity of hypersurfaces with constant shifted curvature functions in hyperbolic space.

method Characterizations and rigidity investigations for hypersurfaces with constant weighted shifted mean curvatures or ratios.
result Rigidity results for hypersurfaces with constant linear combinations of weighted shifted mean curvatures and radially symmetric shifted mean curvatures.
In this paper, we first investigate several rigidity problems for hypersurfaces in the warped product manifolds with constant linear combinations of higher order mean curvatures as well as "weighted'' mean curvatures, which extend the work \cite{Mon, Brendle,BE} considering constant mean curvature functions. Secondly, …
The construction of a linear connection on a pullback bundle from a connection on a vector bundle is explained in terms of fiberwise linear approximation. This procedure clarifies the geometric meaning of the linearized connection as well as the associated parallel transport and curvature.
In this paper, we consider compact free boundary constant mean curvature surfaces immersed in a mean convex body of the Euclidean space or in the unit sphere. We prove that the Morse index is bounded from below by a linear function of the genus and number of boundary components.
We propose a novel adaptive test of goodness-of-fit, with computational cost linear in the number of samples. We learn the test features that best indicate the differences between observed samples and a reference model, by minimizing the false negative rate. These features are constructed via Stein's method, meaning th…
When we implement a portfolio selection methodology under a mean-risk formulation, it is essential to correctly model investors' risk aversion which may be time-dependent, or even state-dependent during the investment procedure. In this paper, we propose a behavior risk aversion model, which is a piecewise linear funct…
