The talk is divided into two parts. In the first part we review L-infinity type variational problems on graphs which are motivated by applications in (semi-supervised) machine learning. In particular, we study ground states of the sup-norm of the gradient, characterize them as distance functions and relate them to the asymptotic behavior of the ...

Fundamental issues in improving state estimation (or filtering) problems are model errors. This problem is attributed to incomplete understanding of the underlying physics and our lack of computational resources to resolve physical processes in various time and length scales. In this talk, we will discuss a linear theory for filtering multiscale...

We discuss extensions of recently proposed semidefinite optimization methods for atomic decomposition and 1-norm minimization over infinite dictionaries of complex exponentials. We show that techniques related to the Kalman-Yakubovich-Popov lemma in linear system theory provide simple constructive proofs of these semidefinite formulations. This ...

Mean field game theory has been developed largely following two routes by different researchers. One route, called the direct approach, starts by solving a large-scale game and next derives a set of limiting equations. The second route is to apply mean field approximations and formalize a fixed point problem by obtaining the best response of a r...

Fractional Brownian motions (FBMs) denote a family of Gaussian processes indexed by the Hurst parameter H ˆˆ (0, 1) that can be empirically justified as models for noise in many physical systems. While this family includes Brownian motion (H = 1/2), the other Gaussian processes in this family are neither Markov nor semimartingales. Thus many of ...

Some control problems are explicitly solved for bilinear evolution equations where the noise is a Gauss-Volterra process. The Gauss-Volterra noise processes are obtained from the integral of a Brownian motion with a suitable kernel function. These noise processes include fractional Brownian motions with Hurst parameter from (1/2, 1), Liouville f...
