Fluctuations and precise deviations of cumulative INAR time series

In this paper, we study fluctuations and precise deviations of cumulative INAR time series, both in a non-stationary and in a stationary regime. The theoretical results are based on the recent mod- convergence theory as presented in Féray et al., 2016. We apply our findings to the construction of approximate confidence intervals for model parameters and to quantile calculation in a risk management context.

Nonlinear inviscid damping and shear-buoyancy instability in the two-dimensional Boussinesq equations

We investigate the long-time properties of the two-dimensional inviscid Boussinesq equations near a stably stratified Couette flow, for an initial Gevrey perturbation of size ?. Under the classical Miles-Howard stability condition on the Richardson number, we prove that the system experiences a shear-buoyancy instability: the density variation and velocity undergo an O(t-1/2) inviscid damping while the vorticity and density gradient grow as O(t1/2). The result holds at least until the natural, nonlinear timescale t??-2.

Reflection of internal gravity waves in the form of quasi-axisymmetric beams

Preservation of the angle of reflection when an internal gravity wave hits a sloping boundary generates a focusing mechanism if the angle between the direction of propagation of the incident wave and the horizontal is close to the slope inclination (near-critical reflection). This paper provides an explicit description of the leading approximation of the unique Leray solution to the near-critical reflection of internal waves from a slope in the form of a beam wave.

Relaxation approximation and asymptotic stability of stratified solutions to the IPM equation

We prove the nonlinear asymptotic stability of stably stratified solutions to the Incompressible Porous Media equation (IPM) for initial perturbations in ?H1- (R2) ? ?H s(R2) with s > 3 and for any 0 < < 1. Such result improves the existing literature, where the asymptotic stability is proved for initial perturbations belonging at least to H20(R2). More precisely, the aim of the article is threefold. First, we provide a simplified and improved proof of global-in-time well-posedness of the Boussinesq equations with strongly damped vorticity in H1- (R2)?

A network-constrain Weibull AFT model based on proximal gradient descent method

In this work, we propose and explore a novel network-constraint survival methodology considering the Weibull accelerated failure time (AFT) model combined with a penalized likelihood approach for variable selection and estimation [2]. Our estimator explicitly incorporates the correlation patterns among predictors using a double penalty that promotes both sparsity and the grouping effect. In or- der to solve the structured sparse regression problems we present an efficient iterative computational algorithm based on proximal gradient descent method [1].

Penalized wavelet nonparametric univariate logistic regression for irregular spaced data

This paper concerns the study of a non-smooth logistic regression function. The focus is on a high-dimensional binary response case by penalizing the decomposition of the unknown logit regression function on a wavelet basis of functions evaluated on the sampling design. Sample sizes are arbitrary (not necessarily dyadic) and we consider general designs. We study separable wavelet estimators, exploiting sparsity of wavelet decompositions for signals belonging to homogeneous Besov spaces, and using efficient iterative proximal gradient descent algorithms.

Modelling sea ice and melt ponds evolution

We present a mathematical model describing the evolution of sea ice and meltwater during summer. The system is described by two coupled partial differential equations for the ice thickness h(x,t) and pond depth w(x,t) fields. The model is similar, in principle, to the one put forward by Luthije et al. (2006), but it features i) a modified melting term, ii) a non-uniform seepage rate of meltwater through the porous ice medium and a minimal coupling with the atmosphere via a surface wind shear term, ?s (Scagliarini et al. 2020).

Learning binary undirected graph in low dimensional regime

Given a random sample drawn from a Multivariate Bernoulli Variable (MBV), we consider the problem of estimating the structure of the undirected graph for which the distribution is pairwise Markov and the parameters' vector of its exponential form. We propose a simple method that provides a closed form estimator of the parameters' vector and through its support also provides an estimate of the undirected graph associated with the MBV distribution. The estimator is proved to be asymptotically consistent but it is feasible only in low-dimensional regimes.
