Volume of quasi-homogeneous sublevel sets: Two linear algebra deterministic algorithms with convergence rates

Didier Henrion, Jean B Lasserre

We consider the problem of computing the Lebesgue volume of the unit sublevel set of a positive quasi-homogeneous polynomial. Pushing the Lebesgue measure of an ambient bounding bo…

Scalable anomaly detection via a univariate Christoffel function

Florian Grivet, Didier Henrion, Jean-Bernard Lasserre +1

Anomaly detection plays a critical role in identifying unusual patterns across domains such as fraud detection, network intrusion, and system fault diagnosis. Recently, Christoffel…

Gaussian-like fixed point and variational properties of integral discriminants

Jean B Lasserre

We consider partition functions Z(g) = exp (-g(x))dx where g is a nonnegative polynomial action (a degree-2n form) vanishing only at the origin. Such integrals, known as integral d…

Connecting max-entropy with computational geometry, LP and SDP

Jean B Lasserre

We consider the well-known max-(relative) entropy problem (y) = infQP DKL(Q P ) with Kullback-Leibler divergence on a domain R d , and with ''moment'' constra…

An extension of the mean value theorem

Jean B Lasserre

Let (, ) be a measure space with R d and a finite measure on . We provide an extension of the Mean Value Theorem (MVT) in the form It is valid for non co…

Maximal entropy in the moment body

Didier Henrion

A moment body is a linear projection of the spectraplex, the convex set of trace-one positive semidefinite matrices. Determining whether a given point lies within a given moment bo…

Shannon-and von neumann-entropy regularizations of linear and semidefinite programs

Saroj Prasad Chhatoi, Jean B Lasserre

We consider the LP in standard form min {c T x\,: Ax = b; x 0} and inspired by -regularization in Optimal Transport, we introduce its -regularization ''min {c T x + …

A laplace duality for integration

Jean B Lasserre

We consider the integral v(y) = Ky f (x)dx on a domain Ky = {x R d\,: g(x) y}, where g is nonnegative and Ky is compact for all y [0, +). Under some assum…

Approximate D-optimal design and equilibrium measure

Didier Henrion, Jean Bernard Lasserre

We introduce a minor variant of the approximate D-optimal design of experiments with a more general information matrix that takes into account the representation of the design spac…

An infinite-dimensional Christoffel function and detection of abnormal trajectories

Didier Henrion, Jean-Bernard Lasserre

We introduce an infinite-dimensional version of the Christoffel function, where now (i) its argument lies in a Hilbert space of functions, and (ii) its associated underlying measur…

Gaussian mixtures closest to a given measure via optimal transport

Jean-Bernard Lasserre

Given a determinate (multivariate) probability measure , we characterize Gaussian mixtures which minimize the Wasserstein distance to when the mixing p…

A hierarchy of convex relaxations for the total variation distance

Jean-Bernard Lasserre

Given two measures , on Rd that satisfy Carleman's condition, we provide a numerical scheme to approximate as closely as desired the total variation distance between and…

A Generalized Pell's equation for a class of multivariate orthogonal polynomials

Jean-Bernard Lasserre, Yuan Xu

We extend the polynomial Pell's equation satisfied by univariate Chebyshev polynomials on [--1, 1] from one variable to several variables, using orthogonal polynomials on regular d…
