Laplace Transform Based Low-Complexity Learning of Continuous Markov Semigroups
Markov processes serve as a universal model for many real-world random processes. This paper presents a data-driven approach for learning these models through the spectral decomposition of the infinitesimal generator (IG) of the Markov semigroup. The unbounded nature of IGs complicates traditional methods such as vector-valued regression and Hilbert-Schmidt operator analysis. Existing techniques, including physics-informed kernel regression, are computationally expensive and limited in scope, with no recovery guarantees for transfer operator methods when the time-lag is small. We propose a novel method that leverages the IG's resolvent, characterized by the Laplace transform of transfer operators. This approach is robust to time-lag variations, ensuring accurate eigenvalue learning even for small time-lags. Our statistical analysis applies to a broader class of Markov processes than current methods while reducing computational complexity from quadratic to linear in the state dimension. Finally, we illustrate the behaviour of our method in two experiments.

On "A General Framework for Pricing Asian Options Under Markov Processes"
Cai, Song and Kou (2015) [Cai, N., Y. Song, S. Kou (2015) A general framework for pricing Asian options under Markov processes. Oper. Res. 63(3): 540-554] made a breakthrough by proposing a general framework for pricing …
Imprecise Markov Semigroups and their Ergodicity
We introduce the concept of an imprecise Markov semigroup $\mathbf{Q}$. It is a tool that allows to represent ambiguity around both the initial and the transition probabilities of a Markov process via a compact collectio…
Explicit solutions to utility maximization problems in a regime-switching market model via Laplace transforms
We study the problem of utility maximization from terminal wealth in which an agent optimally builds her portfolio by investing in a bond and a risky asset. The asset price dynamics follow a diffusion process with regime…
Continuous Attractor Networks for Laplace Neural Manifolds
Many cognitive models, including those for predicting the time of future events, can be mapped onto a particular form of neural representation in which activity across a population of neurons is restricted to manifolds t…
Revisiting Algebra and Complexity of Inference in Graphical Models
This paper studies the form and complexity of inference in graphical models using the abstraction offered by algebraic structures. In particular, we broadly formalize inference problems in graphical models by viewing the…
