Abstract

This paper will discuss the relationships among three pillars of mathematics: important research in codes and automata by Marcel-Paul Schutzenberger and others; random walks on finite semigroups by Persi Diaconis and others; and advanced techniques from finite semigroup theory used in proving Krohn-Rhodes complexity c is decidable by Stuart Margolis, Anne Schilling, and myself. Very surprising connections exist between the Fundamental Lemma of Complexity c (epimorphisms between finite semigroups that are one-to-one on subgroups preserve c) and coupling from the past in Markov chains, Diaconis' strong stationary time, and the Crick-Franklin-Watson genes of a finite automaton (which will be defined in the paper).

Rates of Convergence in the Central Limit Theorem for Markov Chains, with an Application to TD Learning

We prove a non-asymptotic central limit theorem for vector-valued martingale differences using Stein's method, and use Poisson's equation to extend the result to functions of Markov Chains. We then show that these results can be applied to establish a non-asymptotic central limit theorem for Temporal Difference (TD) learning with averaging.

Overcoming the spatial order barrier for nonlinear SPDEs with additive space-time white noise

We introduce a fully discrete numerical scheme for semilinear SPDEs with additive space-time white noise that overcomes the previous order barrier for the spatial convergence rate. The scheme achieves a strong convergence rate of $M^{-1+ε}$ in time and $N^{-3/2+ε}$ in space for any $ε>0$, where $M^{-1}$ and $N^{-1}$ are the temporal, respectively the spatial, meshsizes. This substantially improves the standard spatial error bounds of order $N^{-1/2}$ in the literature.

A Complete Characterization of Tensorizable $f$-divergences

Csiszar's formulation of the $f$-divergence introduced a vast family of functionals for quantifying dissimilarity between probability distributions. However, many applications in statistics and information theory rely only on a few $f$-divergences, such as the Kullback-Leibler divergence, the $χ^2$-divergence, and the squared Hellinger distance. These divergences are especially useful because they admit simple compositional formulas under product measures, a property sometimes referred to as tensorization. In this work, we refine a formalism of tensorization previously introduced in the literature. Then, we show that any possible tensorization formula has a multi-affine form characterized by a single parameter, and identify all tensorizable $f$-divergences under our adopted notion of tensorization.
