We study reduction schemes for functions of many variables into system of functions in one variable. Our setting includes infinite-dimensions. Following Cybenko-Kolmogorov, the outline for our results is as follows: We present explicit reductions schemes for multivariable problems, covering both a finite, and an infinite, number of variables. Starting with functions in many variables, we offer constructive reductions into superposition, with component terms, that make use of only functions in one variable, and specified choices of coordinate directions. Our proofs are transform based, using explicit transforms, Fourier and Radon; as well as multivariable Shannon interpolation.
Nonstandard ergodic averages can be defined for a measure-preserving action of a group on a probability space, as a natural extension of classical (nonstandard) ergodic averages. We extend the one-dimensional theory, obtaining L^1 pointwise ergodic theorems for several kinds of nonstandard sparse group averages, with a special focus on the group Z^d. Namely, we extend results for sparse block averages and sparse random averages to their analogues on virtually nilpotent groups, and extend Christs result for sparse deterministic sequences to its analogue on Z^d. The second and third results have two nontrivial variants on Z^d: a native d-dimensional average and a product average from the 1-dimensional averages.
We describe a model element able to perform universal stochastic approximations of continuous multivariable functions in both neuron-like and quantum form. The implementation of this model in the form of a multi-barrier, multiple-slit system is proposed and it is demonstrated that this single neuron-like model is able to perform the XOR function unrealizable with single classical neuron. For the simplified waveguide variant of this model it is proved for different interfering quantum alternatives with no correlated adjustable parameters, that the system can approximate any continuous function of many variables. This theorem is applied to the 2-input quantum neural model based on the use of the schemes developed for controlled nonlinear multiphoton absorption of light by quantum systems. The relation between the field of quantum neural computing and quantum control is discussed.
We present a well-structured detailed exposition of a well-known proof of the following celebrated result solving Hilberts 13th problem on superpositions. For functions of 2 variables the statement is as follows. Kolmogorov Theorem. There are continuous functions $varphi_1,ldots,varphi_5 : [,0, 1,]to [,0,1,]$ such that for any continuous function $f: [,0,1,]^2tomathbb R$ there is a continuous function $h: [,0,3,]tomathbb R$ such that for any $x,yin [,0, 1,]$ we have $$f(x,y)=sumlimits_{k=1}^5 hleft(varphi_k(x)+sqrt{2},varphi_k(y)right).$$ The proof is accessible to non-specialists, in particular, to students familiar with only basic properties of continuous functions.
We establish a duality for two factorization questions, one for general positive definite (p.d) kernels $K$, and the other for Gaussian processes, say $V$. The latter notion, for Gaussian processes is stated via Ito-integration. Our approach to factorization for p.d. kernels is intuitively motivated by matrix factorizations, but in infinite dimensions, subtle measure theoretic issues must be addressed. Consider a given p.d. kernel $K$, presented as a covariance kernel for a Gaussian process $V$. We then give an explicit duality for these two seemingly different notions of factorization, for p.d. kernel $K$, vs for Gaussian process $V$. Our result is in the form of an explicit correspondence. It states that the analytic data which determine the variety of factorizations for $K$ is the exact same as that which yield factorizations for $V$. Examples and applications are included: point-processes, sampling schemes, constructive discretization, graph-Laplacians, and boundary-value problems.
Starting with the correspondence between positive definite kernels on the one hand and reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces (RKHSs) on the other, we turn to a detailed analysis of associated measures and Gaussian processes. Point of departure: Every positive definite kernel is also the covariance kernel of a Gaussian process. Given a fixed sigma-finite measure $mu$, we consider positive definite kernels defined on the subset of the sigma algebra having finite $mu$ measure. We show that then the corresponding Hilbert factorizations consist of signed measures, finitely additive, but not automatically sigma-additive. We give a necessary and sufficient condition for when the measures in the RKHS, and the Hilbert factorizations, are sigma-additive. Our emphasis is the case when $mu$ is assumed non-atomic. By contrast, when $mu$ is known to be atomic, our setting is shown to generalize that of Shannon-interpolation. Our RKHS-approach further leads to new insight into the associated Gaussian processes, their It^{o} calculus and diffusion. Examples include fractional Brownian motion, and time-change processes.
