One of the prevailing ideas in geometric and topological data analysis is to provide descriptors that encode useful information about hidden objects from observed data. The Reeb graph is one such descriptor for a given scalar function. The Reeb graph provides a simple yet meaningful abstraction of the input domain, and can also be computed effic...

Because sheaves model consistency relationships between local data, they are easily assembled from detailed models of systems. Being topological in nature, sheaves mediate local-to-global inference. By incorporating local geometry from the start, the global "fit" between local data and models can be quantified, which supports robust inferences a...

A fundamental difficulty in stochastic optimization is the fact thatdecisions may not be able pin down the values of future 'costs,' butrather can only, within limits, shape their distributions as random variables.An upper bound on a ramdom 'cost' is often impossible, or too expensive, toenforce with certainty, and so some compromise attitude mu...

The development of new sports equipment, the optimization of performance or the enjoyment of the spectator has been enhanced in recent years through the rapid in computing power. In general, the anlysis of sport requires three things; (1) the experimental measurement of athlete and equipment in 3 dimensions (the reality); (2) mathematical approx...

We can view persistence diagrams as stochastic variables themselves. As such we wish to be able to analyze sets of persistence diagrams statistically. To this end I will define and characterize the central tendencies of the mean and the median. Separately, I will also provide a method of null hypothesis testing.

This work introduces Graphon Mean Field Game (GMFG) theory for the analysis of non-cooperative dynamical games involving agent modelled as controlled stochastic systems distributed over networks of unbounded size. One component is the profoundly influential new graphon theory of large networks and their infinite limits due to Lovasa'z and cowork...

Mean field games are everywhere in economics. Why? Because heterogeneity is everywhere. For example, macroeconomists often use heterogeneous agent models to understand the interactions between income and wealth distribution and aggregates like GDP. Classic examples are papers by Aiyagari (1994) and Krusell and Smith (1998). But the mathematical ...

The increased levels of highly variable energy sources penetration such as wind and solar, in the generation mixes of current power systems have compounded the problem of maintaining the balance between generation and demand for electricity. In that context, the buffering of excess energy into energy sinks which can be called upon when generatio...

We consider the problem of estimating the common mean of univariate data, when independent samples are drawn from non-identical symmetric, unimodal distributions. This captures the setting where all samples are Gaussian with different unknown variances. We propose an estimator that adapts to the level of heterogeneity in the data, achieving near...
