Smoothing of the higher-order stokes phenomenon (2025)
Journal Article

For over a century, the Stokes phenomenon had been perceived as a discontinuous change in the asymptotic representation of a function. In 1989, Berry demonstrated it is possible to smooth this discontinuity in broad classes of problems with the prefa... Read More about Smoothing of the higher-order stokes phenomenon.

It is shown that every algebraic quantum field theory has an underlying functorial field theory which is defined on a suitable globally hyperbolic Lorentzian bordism pseudo-category. This means that globally hyperbolic Lorentzian bordisms between Cau... Read More about Lorentzian bordisms in algebraic quantum field theory.

The study of many population growth models are complicated by only partial observation of the underlying stochastic process driving the model. For example, in an epidemic outbreak we might know when indivdiuals show symptoms to a disease, and are rem...

Sampling from mixture distributions based on regime-switching diffusions (2025)
Journal Article
Tretyakov, M. V. (in press). Sampling from mixture distributions based on regime-switching diffusions. SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing,

It is proposed to use stochastic differential equations with state-dependent switching 4 rates (SDEwS) for sampling from finite mixture distributions. An Euler scheme with constant time 5 step for SDEwS is considered. It is shown that the scheme conv... Read More about Sampling from mixture distributions based on regime-switching diffusions.
