Abstract. Let G denote a directed graph with adjacency matrix Q and indegree matrix D. We consider the Kirchhoff matrix L = D - Q, sometimes referred to as the directed Laplacian. ...
Schur's transforms of a polynomial are used to count its roots in the unit disk. These are generalized them by introducing the sequence of symmetric sub-resultants of two pol...
Abstract--A class of distortions termed functional Bregman divergences is defined, which includes squared error and relative entropy. A functional Bregman divergence acts on functi...
The measurable list chromatic number of a graph G is the smallest number such that if each vertex v of G is assigned a set L(v) of measure in a fixed atomless measure space, the...
The statistical perspective on boosting algorithms focuses on optimization, drawing parallels with maximum likelihood estimation for logistic regression. In this paper we present ...
